Ranch Fried Chicken in Easy Dinner Recipes,Classic American ranch dressing herbs and seasonings appear in three components of the recipe—the buttermilk coating, the flour coating, and the ranch dipping sauce—to pack summer flavors into this fried chicken. Using boneless thighs ensures juicy meat without the hour-long brining process. Frying the thin breasts takes half the time that bone-in chicken parts require, which allows the fresh herb flavors to flourish.

The recipe calls for drumsticks, but feel free to use whole chicken legs. If you have some chicken wings or thighs, fry them as well. Just remember to reduce the cooking time for smaller pieces of chicken.

Crab Cake Poppers in Easy Dinner Recipes,Good lump crab doesn’t need much to set off its flavor, and when it’s the star of the show like it is in these Crab Cake Popper appetizers. Red bell peppers, onion, and celery complement the freshness of the lump crab while the crunchy Panko bread crumbs add some texture to offset the seafood’s creaminess. Because there isn’t a lot of mayo or binder to hold these poppers together, be sure to use a light hand when molding your little bite-size nuggets to hold their delicate flavors.
Crab Cake Poppers
Almond Flour Crab Cakes in Easy Dinner Recipes,The substitution of almond flour for conventional wheat flour in this recipe originated as a gluten-free workaround, but because almond meal absorbs moisture without becoming starchy, it provides structure while keeping the cakes moister and more tender than a traditional crab cake. Just give it a try, you will not regret it!

Crab Cakes Baltimore-Style in Easy Dinner Recipes,This is a classic crab cake inspired by those that were served at Obrycki's Crab House, a rollicking fish restaurant in a former row house on East Pratt Street in Baltimore. It's my favorite crab cake recipe. If you don’t overmix and don’t pack your mounds too tightly, you will experience pure, unadulterated crab cake heaven. They are simply delicious.

Deep Dish Cinnamon Streusel Dessert Pizza in Easy Dinner Recipes,This Deep Dish Cinnamon Streusel Dessert Pizza has buttery brown sugar streusel crumbles and creamy maple glaze. 30 minutes from start to finish! Eat it for breakfast. It’s so thick and pillowy and bready, and the cinnamon flavors are so cozy and I swear the flavors taste the better when you are wearing sweatpants and a fleece. At least that’s true if you live in Minnesota and you own items of clothing called “fleeces”. It reminds me of a cinnamon roll in dessert pizza form, or coffee cake pizza. It begs you for a steaming mug of coffee, a big glass of milk, or a shmear of sweet cream butter.

Perfect Paleo Pizza in Easy Dinner Recipes,You must have seen the pizza crust all kinds of ways, with different types of flours, but it settled on almond flour for its nutty flavor. It also mixes in spices—Italian seasoning and garlic powder—to give it more flavor. The eggs help make the crust fluffy. You just have to make sure you skip a dough with wheat and gluten and dairy (dairy-free mozzarella is surprisingly easy to find these days). But vegetables and pepperoni are totally allowed for topping. Supreme-style with mushrooms, bell peppers, olives, and red onion, which makes this pizza pretty irresistible.
