Today's pizza was inspired by the new season of Chef's Table, which focuses on six distinct pizza chefs. What is more straight forward than dough and sauce? A marinara pizza is simply that. But don't be deceived by the simplicity. This pizza is complex and ultra flavorful. In my version, we have the fresh, bright flavor of uncooked crushed tomatoes punctuated with the sweet flavor of roasted tomatoes and whole garlic cloves. You might think you'll miss the cheese. But you won't. Trust me.

Today's recipe is not for the faint of heart. Spaghetti all'Assassina essentially means 'Spaghetti Killer' and it's an appropriate title. Though the results will have you marveling at the results of such an inherently 'wrong' way of making pasta. But when a finished dish's every bite is a perfect bite, how can the process be so wrong? Are you ready to test your bravery? Let's do it!

As fall swings in, we have all things pumpkin spice and apple cinnamon; the warming scents and flavors of cooler temperatures and cozier days. Today I have a perfect cake for those of us who are not quite ready to dive head first into fall. This Buttery Apple Almond Cake puts the sweet, tart flavor of fresh Honey Crisp Apples at the forefront; without cinnamon or much in the way of warming spices, this cake is fresh and light. Perfect with a cup of tea in the afternoon, or breakfast, this cake is simple and delicious.

Today I have a wonderful brothy bean dish perfect as a main or a side. Frijoles Charros or Charro Beans are named for the horsemen, the Charros (cowboys) of Northern Mexico. Also a popular Tex Mex dish, Charro Beans are brothy, meaty, savory, a little spicy and completely satisfying. I used canned pinto beans, so it all came together in about 30 minutes, which is great for a weeknight. Let's get right to it!

Today's recipe is a delicious combination of savory Ginger Pork Meatballs with Peaches, basil and onions. A one pan dinner perfect for any weeknight. I have been on a little bit of a meatball kick lately. Personally, I feel like meatballs have endless possibility; different meat combinations, herbs, spices and mix-ins can take your meatballs in all kinds of directions. Plus, they freeze so well, so it's a perfect opportunity for make-ahead meals. Pair them with rice, noodles, veggies, sauces...it's a wide open world of meatballs.

Today's pizza idea was suggested by a reader who fondly remembers the amazing smoked salmon pizza at Rydell's - a now long gone pizza restaurant in St. Louis. She described the crispy cracker-y crust with cream cheese, thinly sliced red onion and thin slices of salmon lox. Her at-home adaptations include adding capers and a squeeze of lemon. All of this sounded too good – I had to try it, so today we have Smoked Salmon Pizza.

I am so excited to share today's recipe: San Francisco’s iconic IT'S IT® Ice Cream Sandwich. A thick disc of ice cream sandwiched between chewy oatmeal cookies and dipped in chocolate. My take is a little different, I only dipped half the sandwich in chocolate. But I will say, of all my favorite foods I have tried to replicate, this one is the closest I have gotten to the original. I ❤️ @itsiticecream

We love meatballs of all kinds and these Thai Red Curry Turkey Meatballs are a great addition to our long list of favorites. Super easy, and pretty quick, they are great over rice, or rice noodles, you could whip up a batch for a tailgate party. Not too spicy, with deep savory flavor, it's Thai Red Curry Turkey Meatballs!
