Monte Cristo Sandwiches

A delightfully mustardy version of the battered and fried turkey, ham, and cheese sandwiches.

Pastrami Salmon

Melon Lime Slushy

This frosty drink is as refreshing as frozen lemonade but has the added lushness of summer melon. Fresh thyme gives the fruit’s sweetness some grown-up dimension.

Rhubarb Spritzer

To get the prettiest blush color for this drink, be sure to choose rhubarb without any green streaks, and don’t remove the fibrous pink peel.

Salmon Cakes 
With Arugula Salad

Spiced Peach Lassi

Buttermilk, packed with calcium and probiotics, lends a subtle tanginess to this spice-spiked lassi. Finish with a sprinkle of chopped pistachios for a hit of crunch.

Blackberry Summer Smash

Ginger beer (which contains no alcohol) adds a sweet kick to the tart blackberries. It’s readily available in supermarkets.

Flourless Oatmeal Chocolate-Chunk Cookies

Instead of chocolate chips, chop up an antioxidant-rich bar of dark chocolate for these crispy cookies.

Shrimp and Veggie Tacos With Chipotle

Pistachio-Crusted Chicken with Carrot Raita

The Indian-spiced yogurt raita does double-duty, flavoring the chicken and serving as a dipping sauce.

Polenta Caprese Pizza

The polenta crust needs to chill at least 2 hours before baking, so prep it the night before (or in the morning before you run to work—it's that easy).

Sesame Rice Noodles with Shrimp

Crisp julienned vegetables add crunchy texture to wheat-free pasta. To prep them fast, try the Oxo Julienne Peeler ($10, Oxo.com).

Almond-Crust Raspberry Cheesecake

A quick raspberry sauce adds pastry-shop polish to this cheesecake. Want extra to serve alongside the dessert? Double the ingredient amounts and reserve half the sauce.

Garden Chicken Alfredo

Yogurt subs for heavy cream, so it's lowfat and only tastes splurgy.

Mediterranean Bison Sliders

Our mini-burgers have exotic spices and herbs to make sports day gourmet.

Angry Shrimp

Fiery chipotle gives a kick, and the iron in shrimp keeps you high-energy.

Avocado-Alfalfa Turkey Burger

Tart, fruity pomegranate molasses brightens up the mellow turkey.

BLT Bliss

Corn Fritters with Spicy Zucchini Salsa

"Don't worry if the fritters seem a little flimsy—they hold together and flip easily during cooking," Bemis says.

Roasted Brussels Sprout and Apple Salad

"The maple-tahini dressing is rich but not heavy; you won't feel weighed down," Bemis says.
