Chicken Pot Pie

This cozy meal represents the marriage of a flaky, buttery crust with chopped chicken, onions, carrots, and peas in a perfectly creamy sauce. While this classic comfort food is one that you can easily find pre-made in almost any grocery freezer aisle, we strongly believe that making your own at home is more than worth it (and will really impress mom).

Mediterranean Pizza

This pizza isn’t exactly what comes to mind when you think of a traditional pie. The classic dough and sauce are swapped out for alternatives (including an infused oil) to create a lighter pie. Topped with plenty of Mediterranean-inspired veggies, marinated olives, and crumbled feta, this flavor-packed pizza is worthy of any summer dinner or pre-party appetizer.

When we can, we love celebrating our mom with a nice grilled dinner, especially these rainbow veggie kebabs dotted with succulent cubes of marinated steak, charred to perfection over the grill. We complete this dish by resting the kebabs over a bed of crunchy spinach and cucumber salad tossed in a garlicky tahini dressing, plus a pile of herby orzo, which is toasted until golden before being gently simmered in savory chicken stock.

One-Pan Greek Chicken Drumsticks

Often overlooked in favor of chicken breasts and thighs, the humble drumstick is fun to eat, always seems to stay tender and juicy, and is a cost-effective choice when it comes to chicken. To lend the dish Greek vibes, we started off by preparing a creamy, lemon-y orzo that finishes off in the oven with the drumsticks. Then a tasty sprinkle of tomatoes, Kalamata olives, and dill give the whole dish a fresh finish—think main and salad all in one!

Mahi Mahi Tacos

Being a meaty, tender fish, mahi mahi stands up well to the grill and is even better when marinated. Throw the fish on tortillas with some spicy pineapple-jalapeño salsa, and serve these tacos alongside some margaritas for the perfect Mother's Day meal.

Steak Au Poivre Soup
Steak au poivre is a French classic (not to be confused with steak Diane), typically made with filet mignon or sirloin steak covered in a creamy, peppery sauce. The sauce is downright drinkable and was made to be eaten with a spoon, so we thought—let’s soup-ify it!

Boursin Baked Ziti

Creamy, crumbly, herby Boursin cheese is the star of this easy riff on baked ziti. Many white baked ziti recipes call for swapping out the marinara for béchamel sauce, but a mixture of Boursin, ricotta, and heavy cream is much simpler—and super delicious.

Creamy vodka sauce is the ultimate comfort food, and with the addition of easy chicken meatballs, it becomes a simple, hearty dinner. We think these are perfect on their own, but feel free to serve them with pasta or crusty bread to soak up all that delicious sauce.

Grilled Steak Salad

This salad is simple enough for a weeknight but worthy of serving for a special occasion, thanks to its star ingredient—ribeye steak. You’ll grill it (and red onions), then combine it with cherry tomatoes, blue cheese, basil, and a drizzle of tangy balsamic dressing, turning it into the kind of impressive-but-secretly-easy dish you’ll be making all the time.

Pasta Alla Gricia

Along with carbonara, cacio e pepe, and amatriciana, this completes the four classic pasta dishes of Rome. And it's a classic for good reason: It gets its unbelievable flavor from only four ingredients, including guanciale (pancetta works too), Pecorino, and tagliatelle pasta. 😍
