Your Next Weeknight Meal Plan (And Weekend Cooking Project!)

What to Cook Next Week No Images? Click here   After a busy day, the last thing you want to do is spend hours in the kitchen pulling dinner together. Luckily, we have a wealth of delicious weeknight meals that will have you in and out of the kitchen in one hour or less. Meet our weekly dinner plan: Five easy dinners for five busy weeknights, all sent in advance so you can get your shopping done ahead of time. Cook along with us!   Your Week Ahead MONDAY Tex-Mex Migas With Scrambled Eggs, Tortilla Chips, and Chilies The Tex-Mex version of migas—scrambled eggs cooked with chili peppers, onion, and tortilla chips, then served on tortillas with hot sauce—is one of our favorite hangover killers, but we also love it as an indulgent brinner option.   TUESDAY Spaghetti With Carbonara Sauce Nothing beats a box of spaghetti coated in a simple sauce for a quick and easy weeknight dinner. Carbonara—a silky four-ingredient sauce—takes a bit of finesse, but with our guide, it'll be your new favorite. Yes, even over a jar of good tomato sauce.  WEDNESDAY Pressure Cooker Beef Barley Soup A classic beef barley soup is a wintertime staple, but it takes awhile to cook...unless you use a pressure cooker. This recipe takes advantage of a pressure cooker's higher temperatures to get a deeply flavorful beef barley soup on the table in about an hour from start to finish. THURSDAY Creamy Almond Mughlai Cauliflower This vegetarian dinner features roasted cauliflower in a fragrant, creamy sauce, spiced with ginger, cinnamon, anise, and more, and studded with plump raisins and slivers of crisp almonds. Perfect for those of us trying to eat a little less meat! FRIDAY Gong Bao Ji Ding (Sichuan Kung Pao Chicken) Friday night Chinese takeout gets an at-home makeover with this traditional Sichuan-style kung pao chicken. It's a more nuanced version with plenty of ma-la (hot and numbing) flavor.      Your Weekend Project Ah, the weekend. Visions of time-consuming kitchen endeavors dancing in your head all week long, and finally, you have the time to pursue them. But which one to choose? Let us help guide your efforts with what we're taking on over the weekend.  Korean-Style Fire Chicken (Buldak) Are you ready for some football? Settle in for playoffs this weekend with our new cheesy Korean fire chicken recipe. It's the ultimate game-day snack—basically certified to make you forget all about Buffalo wings.     Serious Eats 88 35th St Ste 602 Brooklyn, NY 11232-2017 Click Preferences to control which emails you receive from Serious Eats.

Angel Food Cake Gets a Winter Makeover With Maple Sugar

Your Recipe of the Day No Images? Click here Maple Angel Food Cake The gentle sweetness and delicate flavor of this angel food cake comes from pure maple sugar, which can be found in the bulk food aisle of many supermarkets, or else online. It breathes new life into this retro-classic dessert, taming its typical sweetness into something mellow and light. Serve it plain, with a thick drizzle of chocolate ganache, or layered with fresh fruit and whipped cream as a trifle.
