Super Bowl

This easy guacamole recipe is best made in a Mexican mortar and pestle called a molcajete, but a bowl and a fork works fine. Just don’t rush to get it on the table. It takes a while for the avocado to absorb all the flavors you add to it. 

It’s pico de gallo, but make it roasted.

Roasting, then grinding masala adds a depth of flavor to these chicken wings from chef Preeti Mistry.

Even if you don’t like football, you probably like cake.

Solicited advice from Alex Beggs for whatever your Super Bowl party looks like this year.

Mashama Bailey’s irresistible lemony, crispy wings need two hours to marinate—so plan accordingly.

These grown-up moon pies are made with shortbread cookies loaded with blitzed-up pretzels and salty potato chips—the perfect contrast to the sticky-sweet marshmallows and bitter dark chocolate.

The holiday cocktail that takes you straight to the beach (and isn’t that where you want to be anyway?).

In this pizza, which is reminiscent of a Sicilian pie, the dough is enriched with whole-wheat or rye flour, then topped with a thin layer of anchovy-spiked tomato sauce (skip the fish, if you wish), and once it comes out of the oven, grated Parmesan and a mountain of greens. You have several pan options: For the thinnest crust with the crispiest bottom and edges, use a 13x9" rimmed baking sheet. If you don’t have one, you can also use a 10" or 12" cast-iron skillet: Your dough will be a bit thicker, more pillowy, and not as crisp. Or you can also easily double the recipe and use an 18x13" rimmed baking sheet. Just make sure to plan ahead: This dough needs to rise in the fridge for at least 12 hours.

Guaranteed to make any raw vegetable taste good.

The secret to the fudgiest, most chocolaty brownies is cocoa powder—not melted chocolate. We borrowed chocolate expert Alice Medrich’s technique, then added a cream cheese topping for tangy balance. Don’t overthink your camo design; the brownies will look even better when sliced.

The onions char on this pizza and sweeten in the oven and pair perfectly with sharp provolone cheese.

Mouth-numbing, sweet, salty, and crunchy peanuts you can’t stop eating.
