Chili-Chorizo Nachos Recipe

Our version of this bar food favorite has half the sat fat, 450mg less sodium, and double the fiber compared to the classic. Notorious for being a calorie-and-sodium bomb, I gave these nachos a virtuous spin, slashing both calories and sodium by 40% without sacrificing their indulgent nature. Mexican chorizo packs a big flavor punch, helping a little meat go a long way here. Look for it in the butcher’s case next to the other fresh sausage. In place of sodium-laden canned refried beans, a homemade mixture of blended pinto beans, lime juice, adobo, and spices form the glue that adheres the other healthy toppers to homemade chips. And because no tray of nachos is complete without cheese, a bit of shredded sharp cheddar adds just enough cheesy, salty kick. Pico de gallo and avocado-tomatillo sauce add a finishing layer of freshness—key for reaching nacho nirvana.

Crispy Chicken Thighs with Grapefruit, Olives, and Feta Recipe

This ultra-hearty chicken dish is the perfect balance of warm earthy flavors and tangy, salty toppings. If you prefer, you can subsitute any citrus of your choosing in place of the grapefruit.

This dish is best eaten immediately, as that crispy skin won't stay crisp forever.

Meyer Lemon Drop Recipe

When life gives you Meyer lemons, make this softened take on a lemon drop. Meyer lemons are in season from November to March, so the holidays are the perfect time to take advantage of these unique fruits.

It’s easier to get a nice thick ring on the glass by holding it in one hand and sprinkling the candy dust on with the other.

This recipe was originally published in 1961 in The Junior League of Tampa’s cookbook, The Gasparilla Cookbook.

Marinated Manchego with Olives and Orange Recipe

This cheese display is so impressive, nobody will guess it barely took any effort. Meet your new favorite cheese—Manchego is a hard, semi-aged Spanish cheese made from sheep’s milk with a mildly sharp, nutty flavor. And when it’s infused with olive oil, it takes on a floral flavor that pairs wonderfully with olives and almonds. Marinate your Manchego as long as you can—two hours, minimum—so the mixture can really set in. Serve as an appetizer with crackers or bread, or set it out in place of a cheese board.

It tastes great chilled or at room temperature, is made with a few ingredients, and is dairy-free and gluten-free, making it ideal for a mixed crowd that might have food allergies or dietary restrictions. We used four types of citrus (blood oranges, Cara Cara orange, Ruby Red grapefruit, and a navel orange) for a rainbow of colors, but you can also alternate two types of citrus for a pretty, simpler look. If you’re not a fan of hazelnuts, use toasted almond slices or chopped, toasted pistachios. Whatever you do, don’t skip the flaky sea salt and black pepper at the end. A little bit of seasoning brings out the flavors of the fruit and makes the whole thing look and taste impressive.

Raspberry-Lime Tart with Pistachio Crust Recipe

This tart is pleasantly limey, with a delightful pistachio-forward shortbread crust. It requires minimal baking, but has a beautiful presentation, with fresh raspberries adding a nice touch. You can find shelled, raw pistachios at the grocery store, but roasted, salted shelled pistachios will work just fine. Look for limes with smooth skin: They have thiner skins, and will yield more juice. Garnish with chopped pistachios and whipped cream to offset the tartness from the curd and the raspberries.

Citrus Roasted Salmon Recipe

Though easy to make and only requiring five ingredients, this elegant roasted salmon is a supremely impressive main dish—especially for the holidays, when citrus season is in full swing.

Covering the salmon loosely with foil keeps the salmon moist.

Lemony Chicken and Spinach Soup Recipe

Inspired by Greek avgolemono, this recipe yields a creamy, comforting, bright bowl of soup that delivers everything we want when feeling a little under the weather. Heck, served with a warm blanket and a cozy couch, we’re convinced this lemony chicken soup can fix just about anything. As delicious as it is, this soup requires very simple ingredients and is easy to make. Just be gentle when adding the hot broth into your egg mixture (to temper), and the rest couldn’t be easier. This is a smart trick for richening soup without cream, and produces a uniquely rich broth that’s easy on the stomach. While we call for rotisserie chicken and store-bought stock for convenience sake, you could certainly roast your own chicken, then make chicken stock with the carcass for an even more flavorful pot of soup. We specifically developed this soup to make a large batch so that there’s plenty to share with friends, or stash in the freezer for the next time you’re feeling a bit under the weather or simply need a warming, fuss-free meal.

The Salty Dog has no flaws, but turning it into a slush makes it the most wonderful and festive summertime cocktail ever.

Lemon-Orange Pound Cake Recipe

This recipe is from the cookbook, Stop and Smell the Rosemary, by the Junior League of Houston. This pound cake is sublime in its simplicity, but we decided to fancy it up a bit with a Bundt pan and two contrasting icings. You can leave out the yellow food coloring gel and have a cake that is just as pretty with a few extra lemon and orange slices for garnish. The Lemon-Orange Pound Cake is perfect for a bridal shower or a spring tea.

Spicy Bourbon-Citrus Punch Recipe

This refreshing punch will make your next cocktail party or happy hour the talk of the town. Spicy ginger and bourbon (our Test Kitchen recommends using Bulleit Bourbon) give this big-batch cocktail a bite that’s balanced out by fresh orange and lemon juices and sparkling mineral water (such as Topo Chico). The homemade ginger syrup is easy to prepare and can be made up to three days in advance and stored in the refrigerator. There is no need to peel the ginger root because it will eventually be strained out of the cooked syrup, however, you should scrub the ginger clean if the skin is dirty. Be sure to squeeze fresh citrus instead of using the bottled stuff; it doesn’t take long and makes all of the difference in this recipe. Big-batch drinks like this one are ideal for entertaining because you can prepare them ahead of the party, and scale them up if needed. If you want to make Spicy Bourbon-Citrus Punch in advance, simply combine all of the ingredients except the sparkling water and orange slices in a large pitcher one day in advance. Store the punch in the refrigerator. When it is party time, add the orange slices and stir the punch (in the pitcher or transfer to a punch bowl) to combine all of the ingredients. Serve in glasses over ice. Cheers!

This batch is easy to make and only look fancy, making them a perfect addition to a cookie swap. 

Orange-Buttermilk Trifle Recipe

A layered trifle dessert may look difficult and involved, but this one is actually quite easy, especially when you consider the make-ahead components.

You can also make the White Chocolate-Buttermilk Cake a day or two in advance and keep covered until you are ready to assemble the trifle. Use a clear glass trifle dish to show off all the delicious components of this recipe. The striking color combination of navel oranges and the bright red blood oranges give this dish extra visual appeal.

Superfood history aside, the cult quaff is the key ingredient of this intriguing summer refresher.
