Moroccan Chicken Tagine
Chef John's Moroccan chicken tagine may be the best lemon chicken recipe of all time. Though it is not strictly a tagine, because it is not cooked in a tagine, it has all the elements—preserved lemon, green olives, saffron—you will find in the traditional recipe.

These stuffed crescent roll carrots are cute carrot-shaped crescent rolls, stuffed with a cream cheese and spinach filling. Or choose another favorite sweet or savory filling—the possibilities are endless.
Creamy Salmon Pasta Salad
Fresh salmon and fresh veggies, that you probably have in your fridge, make up this easy salad. Fresh salmon takes approximately the same amount of time to cook as the pasta but go with canned if that's what you have on hand. Growing up by the sea, I've eaten a fair amount of salmon and pasta salad; this is a combination of many recipes that I've tried.
