| 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  Hamachi Poke With Cucumber and Avocado This colorful, crunchy poke takes only 10 minutes to make, so skip the stop at your favorite poke place and DIY. One bite of the rich hamachi, onion, scallion, cucumber, avocado, and steamed rice, and we bet this recipe will find its way into the weekly spring and summer rotation. TUESDAY  If duck breast is something you've only had in a restaurant, it's time to change that! Duck is easy to cook at home, safe to consume medium-rare, and the perfect combination of juicy and crispy when cooked correctly. Serve it with a simple pan sauce flavored with orange and white wine, and take Tuesday-night dinner up a notch. WEDNESDAY  With a pressure cooker, you can stop seeing risotto as a labor-intensive meal and see it as an easy weeknight one instead. In this bright-yellow bowl, the addition of corn to the rice imparts a sweet flavor throughout. It's delightfully rich and filling, so don't be surprised if you have leftovers. Plus, you'll want them for tomorrow. THURSDAY  Riselotes al Salto (Elote-Flavored Risotto Pancake) Time to take out last night's risotto. No, not to reheat it, but to turn it into something completely new and equally delicious. That risotto can be fried up into a crispy pancake and topped with the seasonings of elotes, Mexican street corn. We're talking plenty of chipotle mayo, curds of Cotija cheese, bright cilantro, and fresh lime. FRIDAY  French Onion Strata (Savory Bread Pudding) A French onion strata is exactly what you make when you're craving French onion soup, but you're not so sure it's soup season anymore. It's a savory bread pudding packed with caramelized Spanish onions and Gruyère cheese. Your Weekend Project Ah, the weekend. Visions of time-consuming kitchen endeavors have been dancing in your head all week long, and finally you have the time to pursue them. But which one to choose? Let us guide your efforts with what we're taking on over the weekend.  We're just going to take a wild guess that most mothers would be delighted to wake up to the sweet, buttery scent of cinnamon rolls on their celebratory day. These rolls require just one bowl and can be made a day in advance before being baked and frosted, so there's really no excuse to not have a hot plate of buns, covered in cream cheese frosting, waiting on the kitchen table.

Your Next Weeknight Meal Plan (and Weekend Cooking Project!)
TGIF: How to Make the Perfect Margarita
| No Images? Click here  Classic Margaritas  Forget sour mix and slushie machines—to make a perfect margarita all you need is tequila, Cointreau, lime juice, salt, and a cocktail shaker. Because the drink is so simple you should reach for a nice bottle of tequila. If you are going to make a margarita with lower-quality liquor, you will probably want to mix in a little simple syrup.

The Best Mother's Day Gifts: Cookware, Food, and Cocktail Edition
| Just for Her No Images? Click here  The Best Mother's Day Gifts: Cookware, Food, and Cocktail EditionWe've reinvigorated our Mother's Day gift guide for this year, and it's full of fantastic new options from all sorts of shops and purveyors. Below, you'll find a selection of our favorites, from a professional-grade coffee grinder to a gorgeous cake pan. Get the full story right here.  These pans come in a variety of hypnotic shapes, with ridges and waves that produce eye-catching designs. If your mom is into baking, one of these will definitely make a lovely gift. But if she's more of a "you bake, I eat" sort of person, order a pretty Bundt pan for yourself and make her a cake of her choosing.  We love this chocolate-hazelnut spread from Amaro by Italian chocolatier Marco Colzani. Amaro's spread certainly isn't as cheap as the supermarket variety, but it helps that its only ingredients are toasted IGP hazelnuts from the Piedmont region, cacao, and cane sugar. No oils or preservatives—just the good stuff.  There are some moms who just might love ice cream more than their children. Get even by helping her make her own ice cream at home. You can go with a simple canister model, like the Cuisinart ICE-21, but if you really want to splurge, a compressor model, like the Cuisinart ICE-100, whips up ice cream almost too easily, without any pre-freezing or long wait times.  If your mom doesn't currently grind her own coffee beans, getting her a coffee grinder will unquestionably improve her drinking experience and her morning. Pre-ground coffee, like pre-ground black pepper, just doesn't compare to the fresh stuff. See the rest of our picks and more gift ideas for your family right here!
