Ginger-Lime Sirloin
Jamie Lawson, Managing Editor

This is one of my favorite things to cook on the grill in the summertime. The lime juice and Asian sauces in the marinade make the sirloin tangy and flavorful. And the freshly grated ginger and lime zest make this dish vibrant and memorable.

Garden-Fresh Chicken and Rice
Kate Ensign-Lewis, Online Editor

I've made this dish several times, and it doesn't disappoint. What I love about it:

(1) It's easy. It takes about 30 minutes, start to finish.
(2) It really is fresh. It's a light but satisfying summer meal that makes you feel like you're doing something good for your body and your tastebuds.

Tip: Don't substitute oil (or anything else) for the butter. The recipe is simple and the butter is essential because it really adds to the flavor. Of course, you can always ignore my tip, but I can't guarantee the results.

Reese’s Cheesecake Brownies
Kaela Worthen Gardner, Associate Editor
 
So, basically, these are the most unbelievably delicious dessert you could ever eat. I’ve made them three times now, each with slight variations. I recommend subbing out the milk chocolate chips for semi-sweet, because otherwise the flavor is a little too rich for my liking (though my husband, who is a die-hard milk chocolate fan, thinks they are the best in this form). If you’re a dark chocolate fan like me, I’ve also made them using dark chocolate chips and dark chocolate Reese’s and had them turn out great. But no matter which way you choose to make them, you’re guaranteed lots of pleasure in the form of chocolate and peanut butter, and—if you take them to the office like I did—lots of popularity, too.
