Simple No-Cook Pizza Sauce
A very easy pizza sauce recipe which tastes as good or better than what restaurants use. You can also use this as a breadstick dip.
Spaghetti Aglio e Olio
No two aglio e olio recipes are alike, but this one is pretty true to the classic method. The key is slowly toasting the garlic slices to a perfect golden brown in the olive oil. If it's too light, you don't get the full flavor and if it's too dark it gets bitter. My advice? Do it perfectly.

Forget making breakfast every morning, meal prep these make-ahead rhubarb yogurt parfaits on Sunday and have breakfasts for the whole week. I like to use cinnamon-flavored graham crackers for extra flavor in the recipe.
