This is a really fun way to grill a whole chicken. The beauty of a butterflied chicken is that you flatten the bird out, allowing the leg meat to cook before the breast is overdone and dry. Between the butterflied cut and the basting with both butter and homemade barbecue sauce, this grilled chicken is incredibly succulent and flavorful.

There are many versions of the iconic chicken Marbella, a recipe that debuted in the 1980s in “The Silver Palate Cookbook.” We added our favorite green olives to this incarnation and also sherry vinegar and honey for a touch more depth and sweetness. But what we really love so much about the dish is the sauce, so our spin on the recipe serves the chicken on toasted bread to put it over the top: The bread soaks up the sauce and makes it a one-pot meal.

This dish is an Italian American classic that’s full of flavor. I love to make this for my mother, who is from an Italian American family, because it reminds her of her childhood and going to family-owned Italian restaurants on the East Coast. It’s a take on eggplant Parmigiana that uses chicken instead of eggplant. The chicken is breaded and fried and layered with marinara, mozzarella, Parmesan, and parsley. It’s an easy meal to make and celebrates the simple, wonderful flavors of tomatoes, garlic, and basil. The marinara sauce is so flavorful that I sometimes just make it to serve on pasta.

If anyone says chocolate and caramel in the same sentence I’m the first one to turn my head. To me, these flavors together make heaven. This is a decadent recipe that I have in my cookbook, The Ranch Table, and I make it as an easy dessert to feed a group of ranchers after a long day of work. I love making my own caramels, but if you don't have time you can always buy soft caramels and use those instead.

Cannoli is such a special treat. Everytime I go to an Italian restaurant I look for it on the menu. Every bite of a good cannoli is fluffy, airy and delightful with a nice crunch from the shell. This recipe has a light, creamy filling made even more decadent with a tiny hint of orange zest and shaved chocolate. My mom loves to serve these at parties as a festive dessert instead of a cake or pie.

Whoopie pies bring nothing but smiles, not only because it's fun to say the name, but also because they’re just so very good. Imagine two little cookie-sized cakes held together with a thick layer of delicious frosting and you have the essence of this dessert. Mocha cakes and peanut butter frosting in this version make for a scrumptious combination of flavors in every bite.

Everyone has their own opinions about pizza and what it takes to make the very best one. Despite so many types of crust and sauces — and the endless toppings there are to choose from — this is my family’s favorite one. Pear and Gorgonzola is always a delicious combination, but adding thyme leaves and drizzling honey over the top brings the flavor to a new level. The homemade dough is easy to make and, of course, the toppings can be switched around to make everyone happy.

Everyone needs a perfect burger recipe, and this is my go-to. The fresh honey buns are soft, delicious, and simple to make. The Worcestershire sauce and fresh garlic add just the right combination of sweetness and flavor to the ground chuck. I like to offer a wide variety of toppings on burger night so each person can assemble their own favorite burger.

My grandma used to make buttery shortbread cookies for special occasions. I’ve zhuzhed up her recipe with my own ingredient — rose sugar.

This is a simple, nourishing soup that’s full of flavor and easy to make. Blending half of the garbanzos (a.k.a. chickpeas) makes for just the right combination of flavorful broth and satisfying texture — not too thick, not too thin. The tomato makes the soup bright, and the basil adds a summery fragrance and flavor, and you can never have too much Parmesan cheese! If you don’t have time to cook the beans, you can make it with canned beans instead. You can also trade out the garbanzo beans for another type of bean.

I love a one-pot meal that also feels extra-special, and paella makes that kind of meal. This Spanish dish of rice, vegetables and meat or seafood packs flavor and simplicity into one skillet. A large pan of paella is festive, colorful and serves a crowd — it’s just right for a celebratory dinner with friends and family. Making the vegetable-and-aromatic sofrito is a key step in cooking paella and acts as the dish’s flavor base. I like a combination of mussels, shrimp and lobster tails in the seafood version of the dish, but you can easily tailor it to your favorite types of seafood.

I love slow cooking meat because there is so little work to do. Just put the cut in with all the spices and vegetables and let heat and time work their magic. This carnitas recipe is the perfect cozy meal to have at home with your family, and it's also wonderful to make ahead of time to feed a crowd. Making your own tortillas is a game changer. Just a handful of simple ingredients make the softest, freshest tortillas. Once you’ve had freshly made flour tortilla, there is no going back!

Fried dough smothered in sugar and dipped in chocolate? Yes, please! Because my family came from Spain, I have a true love for everything Spanish including their desserts. I was lucky enough to spend some time studying in Spain, and churros were the very first Spanish sweet treat I tasted. Whether served at restaurants after meals, late at night on city streets, or at home they remain a beloved treat.

This is fresh, light cake highlights the color and natural flavor of strawberries. The cake itself is bright white, a beautiful contrast to the red berries and pink frosting. I love making frosting using the fruit itself to capture the natural color of strawberries. There is no better way to celebrate peak strawberry season than to make this cake and enjoy it with those you love!
