This week, a classic sandwich gets a veggie-centric twist, and we’ve gotta say—we don’t miss the beef at all. Meaty mushrooms are sautéed with bold and savory steak spices til they’re crispy and caramelized. Then, they’re stuffed into toasted baguettes, along with a creamy Dijon mayo, a tangle of peppers and onions, and a blanket of gooey mozz. One bite will have you feeling like Rocky after he ran up all those stairs—but better, because you have a sandwich!

• Adjust racks to top and middle positions and preheat oven to 450 degrees. Wash and dry produce. • Cut potatoes into 1⁄2-inch-thick wedges. Halve, peel, and thinly slice onion. Halve, core, and thinly slice green pepper. Trim and slice mushrooms into 1⁄4-inch-thick pieces (skip if your mushrooms are pre-sliced!).

• Toss potatoes on a baking sheet with a large drizzle of olive oil, half the Fry Seasoning (you’ll use the rest in the next step), salt, and pepper. • Roast on top rack until golden brown and tender, 20-25 minutes.

• Meanwhile, heat a large drizzle of olive oil in a large pan over medium- high heat. Add onion, green pepper, and remaining Fry Seasoning; cook, stirring occasionally, until softened and lightly browned, 5-7 minutes. Season with salt and pepper. • Turn off heat; transfer to a plate. Wipe out pan.

• While veggies cook, in a small bowl, combine mayonnaise with mustard; season with salt and pepper. • Slice baguettes lengthwise, stopping before you get all the way through. Place, cut sides up, on a second baking sheet. • Toast on middle rack until lightly golden, 3-5 minutes.

• Heat a large drizzle of olive oil in pan used for veggies over medium-high heat. Add mushrooms and cook, stirring occasionally, until browned and crispy, 5-7 minutes. • Season with half the Steak Spice (all for 4 servings) and salt; cook, stirring, until fragrant, 30 seconds. • Stir in stock concentrate and a splash of water. Cook until liquid has evaporated and mushrooms are saucy, 1-2 minutes. • Return veggies to pan.

• Keeping baguettes on sheet, spread cut sides with half the Dijon mayo; fill with as much of the veggie mixture as will fit, then sprinkle with mozzarella. (TIP: For an extra-saucy situation, use all the Dijon mayo on the hoagies.) Return sheet to oven until cheese melts, 2-3 minutes. • Divide hoagies and potato wedges between plates. Serve with remaining Dijon mayo on the side for dipping.

Tonight’s chicken is all about the swoon-worthy pan sauce that’s made with apricot jam, citrusy ponzu, garlic, ginger, and butter. On the side, there’s jasmine rice and roasted broccoli. (Pssst—those sides would be equally delicious with the sauce.) This is one full meal we’re pretty sure you’ll want to whip up around the cluck.

• While rice cooks, toss broccoli on a baking sheet with a drizzle of oil, salt, and pepper. • Roast on top rack until browned and tender, 12-15 minutes.

• Fluff rice with a fork and stir in as much lime zest as you like. Season with salt to taste. • Slice chicken crosswise. • Divide rice, chicken, and broccoli between plates. Drizzle pan sauce over chicken. Serve with any remaining lime wedges on the side.

Whether you’re plant powered or a major meat lover, you’re bound to love these crispy cauliflower tacos! Florets are coated in a zesty tempura batter, then fried until golden and crispy. And since taco bars are all about the toppings, you’ll serve ‘em up with cheesy corn esquites, cilantro-lime rice, pickled radishes and cabbage, and red pepper crema for drizzling. Here’s to setting the (taco) bar high!

• Wash and dry produce. • Trim and thinly slice radishes. Zest and quarter limes. Roughly chop cilantro. Cut cauliflower florets into bite-size pieces if necessary. Drain corn, then pat very dry with paper towels.

• In a small pot, combine rice, 1 1⁄4 cups water (2 1⁄4 cups for 4 servings), and a pinch of salt. Bring to a boil, then cover and reduce heat to low. Cook until tender, 15-18 minutes. • Keep covered off heat until ready to serve.

• Meanwhile, in a medium microwave-safe bowl, combine cabbage and carrot mix, radishes, juice from one lime (two limes for 4 servings), 1 tsp sugar (2 tsp for 4), a big pinch of salt, and pepper. Cover tightly with plastic wrap and microwave for 30 seconds. Set aside, stirring occasionally, until ready to serve. • In a small bowl, combine smoky red pepper crema, half the mayonnaise, 1⁄4 tsp Southwest Spice (1⁄2 tsp for 4), and 1⁄4 tsp sugar (1⁄2 tsp for 4). Add water 1 tsp at a time until mixture reaches a drizzling consistency. Season with salt and pepper.

• Heat a drizzle of oil in a large pan over high heat. Add corn; cook, stirring, until golden brown and lightly charred in spots, 3-5 minutes. (TIP: If corn starts to pop, cover pan and shake to toss.) Turn off heat; transfer to a second medium bowl. Wipe out pan. • Add hot sauce, half the cilantro, half the lime zest, remaining mayonnaise, 1⁄2 tsp Fajita Spice (you’ll use the rest later), 1⁄4 tsp sugar, and a squeeze of lime juice to bowl with corn. (Use 1 tsp Fajita Spice and 1⁄2 tsp sugar for 4 servings.) Stir to combine; season with salt and pepper.

• In a third medium bowl (large bowl for 4 servings), whisk together tempura mix, remaining Southwest Spice, remaining Fajita Spice, 1⁄3 cup cold water (2⁄3 cup for 4), and a pinch of salt and pepper. TIP: If needed, add more water 1 TBSP at a time until it reaches a pancake-batter- like consistency. • Stir cauliflower into batter until fully coated.

• Heat 1⁄3-inch layer of oil in a large, heavy- bottomed pan over medium-high heat. • Once oil is hot enough that a drop of batter sizzles when added to the pan, working in batches, use tongs to add coated cauliflower to pan in an even layer. (TIP: Don’t crowd the pan!) Cook until golden brown and crisp, 2-3 minutes per side. TIP: Lower heat to medium if cauliflower begins to brown too quickly. • Using a slotted spoon, transfer cauliflower to a paper- towel-lined plate. Season with salt.

• Wrap tortillas in damp paper towels. Microwave until warm and pliable, 30 seconds. • Fluff rice with a fork; stir in remaining cilantro, remaining lime zest, 1 TBSP butter (2 TBSP for 4 servings), and a squeeze of lime juice. Season with salt and pepper. TIP: The rice is delicious as a side dish or taco filler! • Add Monterey Jack to bowl with corn esquites; toss to combine. • Serve cauliflower, corn esquites, rice, tortillas, red pepper crema, and remaining lime wedges in separate bowls or plates for a build-your-own taco bar!

This lunch is (quite literally) gold! A mix of sour cream, mayo, and curry spices coat chicken and golden raisins in creamy, golden-hued flavor. The chicken salad is then stuffed inside steamy tortillas and topped with shredded carrots for even more crunch and color. Glorious texture, rich flavors, brilliant hues—yep, that’s a solid (gold) wrap!

• Halve wraps on a diagonal; divide between plates. Serve with any remaining carrots on the side.

Curry, cauliflower, and chicken—the three keys to dinner success! Roasted cauliflower gets its golden hue and savory-sweetness from curry powder, while a za’atar-spiced bulgur base adds herby flavor with a hint of citrus. Dried cranberries sweeten the deal and everything’s topped with juicy chicken and a cool drizzle of yogurt. If you're aiming for a dinner victory, just remember the three C’s!

• While bulgur cooks, pat chicken* dry with paper towels; cut into bite-size pieces if necessary. Season with salt and pepper. • Heat a drizzle of olive oil in a large pan over medium-high heat.

If you're a fan of breakfast for dinner, you can't pass up huevos rancheros, the classic Mexican breakfast featuring sunny-side up eggs with a spicy tomato sauce over toasty tortillas. Our version swaps tortillas for black beans and rice, then everything is piled in a hearty bowl with fried eggs, fresh salsa, and a creamy enchilada sauce. It's so good, you might just want it for breakfast, too!

This Italian-style turnover has everything! Garlicky mushrooms and spinach are sprinkled with Parmesan, then wrapped up in a buttery pizza dough with a blanket of mozzarella. While the outside turns golden and crispy in the oven, fillings melt and meld to form a soft and savory center. Finally, the cheesy stuffed treasures are sliced and dunked in a marinara for an umami punch. Holy stromboli!

Microwave until butter has melted, 30 seconds. • Remove pizza dough from tube and unroll onto a lightly oiled baking sheet. Slice in half at perforation and use your hands to stretch each piece into a 6-by-8-inch rectangle. (For 4, fully assemble the first two stromboli before starting on the second two so they all fit on the same baking sheet.)

• Spread mozzarella evenly across each piece of dough, leaving a 1⁄2-inch border around edges.
