When It’s Too Hot to Cook, I Just Assemble Dinner Doritos taco salad is the dinner I throw together when it’s too hot in Florida to even think about turning on the oven.

The Version I Made So My Husband Could Have It Too This greek yogurt chicken salad is the lighter, no-mayo version of my curried chicken salad — the one I make so my husband can eat it too. He’s been eating Mediterranean-diet style for a couple of years now, and it’s genuinely changed his health,…
No Offense to Grandma, But This One Raises the Bar This curried chicken salad is the one that finally bumped my old standby off the menu.

I Don’t Even Boil the Pasta — and Nobody Can Tell This Chicken Alfredo Bake is the laziest, most forgiving dinner in my whole rotation — I dump everything into one pan, don’t even boil the pasta first, top it with cheese, and let the oven do all the work. The first time I made…
