Sesame-Ginger Marinade
This intensely flavorful and savory Asian-inspired marinade is a vibrant twist on our “Master Marinade,” and is a delicious match for anything from chicken wings to shrimp skewers. That said, we found that we especially love it as a marinade for crisp veggies—like broccolini and baby bok choy. This flavor bomb recipe is one worth keeping in your back pocket for sure.
Fresh Tomato Sauce
Top a pizza or bread for Italian bruschetta, or toss with penne. Seeding half the tomatoes keeps the sauce from becoming watery.
Copycat Wendy’s Ranch Sauce
Rich, creamy, and tangy—just like the signature Wendy’s ranch sauce, but without the preservatives. Easy to mix up and perfect for all kinds of dipping, this copycat Wendy’s ranch is the perfect homemade condiment to prep ahead and use all week long.
North African Marinade
This incredibly flavorful North African-inspired marinade, also known as chermoula, is delicious twist on our “Master Marinade.” While it would be delicious used on beef, seafood, or any other number of proteins, we especially loved the fresh, exotic flavor profile of this marinade matched with grilled lamb.
Do-It-All Marinade
Use this versatile marinade to lend zesty flavor to chicken, beef, pork—even tofu or vegetables.
Buttermilk-Bourbon Caramel Sauce
The key to this sauce is the sugar's color. You're looking for a large patch of golden-colored sugar (this usually develops in one section of the saucepan).
Quick Marinara Sauce
You can whip up this five-ingredient homemade marinara sauce in about 20 minutes. Use the highest-quality canned tomatoes you can find for the best flavor.
Sun-Dried Tomato Oil
Sun-dried tomatoes add visual dazzle as well as flavor to this seasoning oil. Use Sun-Dried Tomato Oil as a marinade, drizzle for salads, or dipping oil for breads.
Soy-Ginger Dressing
Whisk together Soy-Ginger Dressing for your favorite salad greens, or use the dressing as a dipping sauce for your favorite cabbage rolls. With only 5 ingredients, Soy-Ginger Dressing is as versatile as it is delicious.
Spinach-Walnut Pesto
An evergreen, everyday pesto will perk up pastas and pizzas when fresh basil is no longer in season. The warmth from the toasted walnuts will help the sauce emulsify; don't skip this step. Try the sauce on seared salmon or chicken.
Ultimate Quick-and-Easy Pasta Sauce
This easy pasta sauce is so tasty and versatile. You can substitute crushed or whole tomatoes for the diced. Crushed will give you a smooth, thick sauce; whole adds a nice chunkiness. Serve this sauce with your favorite pasta.
Do-It-All Marinade
Use this versatile marinade to lend zesty flavor to chicken, beef, pork—even tofu or vegetables.
Carne Asada Marinade
A hunk of skirt steak and this classic, flavor-packed carne asada marinade are the staples of the most epically delicious taco night you'll ever have. While we went with skirt steak to prepare our traditional Carne Asada, you can use this multipurpose marinade for just about any type of meat you want.
Tangy-Sweet Barbecue Sauce
For a quick, 5-ingredient barbecue sauce, add apricot jam, honey, soy sauce and vinegar to ketchup. It's ideal for summer entertaining on both grilled chicken and pork.
Ranch Olé
Ranch Olé makes a tasty topper for plain burgers thanks to the jalapenos and scallions that lend kick and flavor to ranch dressing.
