Chocolate Peanut Treats
When I was in high school, I took these sweet and crunchy squares to bake sales— and they were the first to sell out. I still make them for family and friends who love the classic combination of chocolate and peanut butter.

This is chef George Mendes’s version of the simple tomato salads common in the Algarve region of southern Portugal. For a shortcut, use best-quality, olive oil–packed canned tuna.
Soups & Salads
Chicken Salad with Cucumber Red Pepper and Honey Mustard Dressing
Starting with cooked chicken—leftovers, perhaps, or a store-bought rotisserie chicken—keeps the preparation time short. If you want just chicken salad with no greens, skip the lettuce; double the chicken, cucumber, bell pepper, onion, and tarragon; and toss them with the dressing.
Desserts
Cranberry Christmas Cake
If you’d like to give this away as gifts or serve it differently, try two 9-inch round cake pans or a muffin pan with liners (the batter will make about two dozen muffins). You’ll need to adjust the cooking time for smaller dishes, so start checking for doneness at 20 minutes, until a toothpick comes out of the center clean.
Soups & Salads
Caesared Salmon Salad
In this creative salmon Caesar salad, Caesar dressing gets spread on the salmon before grilling, creating a rich crust that keeps the fish succulent while picking up delicious smoky flavor from the grill. For a perfect wine pairing, Master Sommelier Andy Myers says to reach for a bottle of Roero. "Roero manages a great balancing act next to the mélange of flavors in a good salmon Caesar. The crunchy apple and pear flavors make the cheese sing; the fresh acidity cleanses the palate of the anchovy."
