5 Irish-inspired recipes to make this week
From corned beef and cabbage to soda bread, this week's recipe roundup is all about Ireland (or Irish-inspired dishes).

This warm cabbage salad bursts with flavor from a tangy Dijon vinaigrette and crispy bacon.

5 go-to weeknight recipes to add to your rotation
This week's recipe roundup is all about simple, delicious meals that can be on your dinner table in as little as 15 minutes.
You’ll recognize the classic Chinese flavor pairing of sesame, soy and white pepper on these sweet and sour pork chops.
White pepper is more mild and earthy than black pepper, but either will work here.
When you’re short on time, reach for this stir-fry recipe. Baked tofu has a firm, toothsome texture that crisps well in a hot pan. You can find it in flavors like teriyaki and sesame, both of which are delicious here. Or opt for a smoked version, which has the same texture with a more robust flavor. Serve over brown rice.
In this streamlined recipe, you rub a paprika-based spice mixture on bone-in chicken thighs, sear the chicken in a skillet, then toast rice and veggies in the chicken drippings. The chicken goes back into the skillet, then the whole thing goes into the oven for 30 minutes. Fluff the rice with a fork, add a few chopped herbs, and dinner is served.
Quick-cooking chicken cutlets are a time-saving hero in this 20-minute dinner recipe. A jar of sun-dried tomatoes does double duty — the flavorful oil they’re packed in is used to saute; the chicken, and the tomatoes go into the cream sauce.
This one-pot pasta with tangy tomato-basil sauce is a fast and easy weeknight dinner. All of your ingredients go into one pot, and with a bit of stirring and about 25 minutes, you’ll have a healthy dinner the whole family will enjoy.
Rich and creamy million dollar pie (aka millionaire pie) is the perfect no-bake dessert. With a crunchy graham cracker crust and a decadent filling made from freshly whipped cream, sweetened condensed milk, toasted pecans, shredded coconut, and pineapple, it’s luscious and decadent — hence its expensive name.

5 easy recipes to try this week
This week's recipe roundup features simple meals that are great for a quick lunch, dinner or game day.
Tuna melts consist of tuna salad, tomato and cheese, then broiled until the cheese is melted and bubbly. And yes, it can be comfort food.
These sliders have it all: sweet slices of ham, irresistibly gooey Swiss cheese, squishy Hawaiian rolls, and a savory butter drizzled over top.
Serve rice with refried beans or chicken tinga, or use as a base for your favorite burrito bowl.
It’s just as easy to bake fresh chicken wings, and toss them in your favorite sauce, as it is to buy and bake premade chicken wings.
