Inspired by the California Club pizza from California Pizza Kitchen, I decided to whip up my own version. It's loaded with tons of fresh veggies, so that means it has to be good for you, right?

This pasta originally came to be from the miscellaneous ingredients in my fridge, and depending on whom I'm cooking for, it changes a little each time I make it. The recipe makes enough for a party or for leftovers, which is a bonus because it is excellent the next day whether you serve it cold or reheated.

We transform classic chicken Parmesan into a quick and easy dinner. Chicken parm pizza showcases breaded chicken with melty cheese and a rich marinara sauce.

A pizza version of the sloppy joe, this hot and melty open-faced sandwich is a surefire kid pleaser. Adults love it, too!

This slow-cooker chicken stroganoff takes just a handful of ingredients and a few minutes of your time, but it's still rich and comforting. If you need a reason to dust off your slow cooker, this is it.

With just a few minutes of prep work, this slow-cooked pork carnitas recipe is easy to make. Use the tender pulled pork as a juicy burrito filling, or crisp it up in a skillet to make unforgettable tacos.

A couple of smart shortcut ingredients, specifically taco seasoning and canned tomatoes with green chiles, make these chicken tostadas a snap to assemble.

The combination of pork and cherries has long been a favorite of mine. The hint of spice and chocolate in the salsa mole makes the combination even more special.

I make chana masala, the classic Indian dish, in my slow cooker. Browning the onion, ginger and garlic first really makes the sauce amazing.
