For these pickled cucumbers, 2 main ingredients and some brine is all you need to have fresh pickles in a day. They are great on their own, on a burger, or sloppy Joe. I personally like to sandwich one in between 2 plain potato chips for a snack. The recipe can be easily halved.

Chef John's Salmon in Parchment
Cooking fish in parchment paper is incredibly simple, and yet fairly terrifying for a novice cook. Since the seafood is encased in paper, there's really no good way to check if it's done. The good news, with this recipe—Chef John's salmon in parchment—if you use a large, center-cut salmon fillet, about 8 or 9 ounces, and cook it for 15 minutes at 400 degrees F, you're going to be very, very close.
Spaghetti alla Carbonara
Carbonara is made with guanciale (cured pork), eggs, Pecorino Romano cheese, spaghetti pasta, and lots of black pepper. Italians don't add extra ingredients like cream, milk, garlic, or onions. Try this recipe if you want to make an authentic, creamy carbonara that comes straight from Italy, where I live. Buon appetito!
