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 salad strikes that sweet spot between simple and elevated. It's all the more enjoyable because it surprises people with unexpected flavors. Arugula is a peppery green, so combining it with cherries gives this recipe a nice blend of sweet and spice. Since the prep work for the cherries can happen the night before, this side is a favorite of mine whenever I'm hosting. I like to pair it with whitefish or grilled chicken, but really, it's delicious on the side of anything.” – Joanna Gaines, Magnolia Table, Volume 3

There is nothing quite as cozy as a good French dip sandwich. The thinly sliced meat and soft bread dipped into flavorful au jus (brothy gravy) makes for the most satisfying lunch. This is my own rendition of a French dip, with sweet red peppers and horseradish herb butter for a fresh take on this classic sandwich.

I learned how to make homemade ice cream with my grandmother, and it was such a treat! Now, when I want to have special ice cream, but I don’t have the time to churn my own, I just elevate store-bought ice cream. It’s such an easy way to customize your ice cream flavors to the seasons and take your dessert to the next level.
