This gorgeously green burger makes such great use of the herbs in my garden. It comes loaded with the fresh flavor of cilantro, dill, mint, parsley and scallions, a kick from the jalapeño and a satisfying crunch from potato chips.

This is the dessert to turn to when you’re in need of an easy crowd-pleaser. The simple technique of caramelizing the banana slices adds depth, dimension and texture to this prep-ahead treat.

This drink is a play on the classic Long Island iced tea, but instead of all the liquor of the original, it uses actual iced tea. It’s perfect for a party — just put out the pitcher, a bucket of ice, cups and it’s a self-serve cocktail.
