Slow Cooker

Chicken Tagine with Pumpkin

I first discovered tagines—Moroccan stews—when my oldest son was a baby, and I've loved them ever since. I used a slow cooker for my first version and since I'm a mom with two active boys, that has stayed my preferred method. The pumpkin mixture is supposed to be thick, but if you like a thinner consistency, stir in chicken broth. —Necia Blundy, Bothell, Washington

Air Fryer

Air-Fryer Salmon Patties

Salmon patties are a family-friendly dinner that even the kids will enjoy. For a wholesome light dinner, serve the patties on a bed of spring greens, spinach or arugula, with lemon slices on the side. Salmon patties also taste great beside mashed or boiled potatoes and a simple vegetable, such as steamed broccoli or green beans. While you can dip salmon patties in mayonnaise, mustard or ketchup, they taste especially good with a special sauce, such as remoulade, garlic aioli or creamy dill dip.

Spumoni Cake

I created this cake for a holiday potluck one year. It has become one of my most requested desserts. If you prefer, you can use all semisweet chips instead of a mix. —Lisa Renshaw, Kansas City, Missouri

Breakfast Burritos

Prep these tasty, hearty burritos the night before for a quick breakfast in the morning or let them cook while you are away on a weekend afternoon for an easy supper. —Anna Miller, Churdan, Iowa

Spinach Bean Soup

This navy bean soup is heartwarming comfort food at its best. It's my signature soup that I make for my family and friends. The bright red and green of the peppers and spinach give it a suitably seasonal look. —Barbara Shay, Pasadena, California

Slow Cooker

Salsa Roast

This is so easy and fast to put together on your way out the door in the morning—and so good when you come home! Try it with rice or on soft tacos, or pile it on hamburger buns. —LaVonne Peden, Olympia, Washington

If you’ve always thought of sage with turkey, try it with salmon for a little taste of heaven. We serve this with rice, salad and sauteed green beans.

Potato Cheese Soup with Salmon

I started cooking for a harvest crew when I was 10 years old. Now, decades later, my husband and I live in the heart of a potato-growing area. One year, this recipe won me a prize!

Garlic & Herb Artichoke Salmon

If you’re new to cooking fish (or even if you’re a pro), this no-fail salmon recipe is one you have to try. It’s easy enough for everyday, but also wows at dinner parties.

Sweet-Chili Salmon with Blackberries

My garden is often my cooking inspiration. Because I have a large berry patch, I especially enjoy using just-picked berries in savory dishes to add natural sweetness and sometimes a bit of tart.

Sesame Salmon with Wasabi Mayo

I created this recipe to mimic the flavors of sushi. It’s remarkably simple and turns out well every time.

Salmon

Cilantro-Topped Salmon

Wear disposable gloves when cutting hot peppers; the oils can burn skin. Avoid touching your face.

Salmon

Miso Salmon

Japanese side dishes are a natural complement to this recipe. The go-to starch would be a bowl of sticky rice drizzled with sauce from the pan. These refreshing soba noodles would also be an excellent accompaniment. For veggies, try a cucumber salad or some spicy edamame.
