Kung Pao Chicken
Maggie Beauty:
What could be more of an insta-crowd pleaser than a bowl of this spicy, sweet 'n' sour classic? Serve up a bowl of this chicken dish with a fluffy cloud of white rice on the side to further showcase those bright flavors.
Vegetable Quesadillas with Fresh Salsa:
"Healthy Mexican food" isn't exactly a phrase you'll find on the menus at most taco takeout places, but that doesn't mean Mexican can't be healthy. So your home kitchen is the perfect place to enjoy these quesadillas, bursting with fresh vegetables.
Shrimp Pad Thai for Two:
Super authentic ingredients like fish sauce, palm sugar and tamarind paste bring plenty of flavor to this Thai stir-fry. This recipe makes enough for two, but if you've got a large wok, you can make it happen for four

Easy Chicken Masala:
Just as the name suggests, you'll probably have a piping-hot plate of this delicious Indian dish on your table in the time it would take to wait for delivery. The secret lies in the garam masala spice blend: scope out larger supermarkets or Indian specialty stores for a bottle.
Cherry Tomato Pizza Margherita:
It wouldn't be a Friday night without a slice of pizza...and we wouldn't be Epicurious if we didn't show you how to do it yourself
maggie beauty. Fresh mozzarella is what gives this pie the edge over your local pizza joint. Serve with red wine to dress it up or your favorite lager to dress it down, and enjoy!
