We're transporting you to the old-fashioned diner for a plate of fluffy buttermilk pancakes.

We love the tang of buttermilk and the richness of butter for an even cakier stack. This recipe is easy enough for a fast breakfast with the kids or doubled for a weekend brunch with friends.

This deviled shrimp tostada is my favorite version of tostada. Not only is this dish texturally thrilling with crispy fried corn tortilla, silky avocado spread, tender shrimp and fresh diced veggies, the flavors of sweet, sour, savory, and spicy really make for a well rounded dish to serve cool on a hot day.

This fried rice is so deliciously savory, nobody will believe you made it with an air fryer. It's full of toasted, crunchy rice bits that add a great contrast to the chewy interior. The shrimp is tender and juicy, and the bites of peas burst in your mouth. Finish it up with Sriracha mayo and fresh green onion to compliment everything perfectly. If you don't have shrimp on hand, you can also use leftover chicken or steak.

I disagree with stacked pancakes. They are juvenile nonsense for several logical (if not strictly scientific) reasons. Reason Number 1: Gravity. All can agree that fluffiness is the goal in pancakes. To achieve that, we use flour with the lowest possible protein content, we add buttermilk and baking powder to the batter to create air, and we fold the batter as gently as we would comb a baby’s hair. We do all that just so, at the end, the pancakes can be stacked and compressed to death by the sheer weight of one fucker sitting on top of another? Frankly, it’s mind-boggling.

You can find dashi powder, tenkasu, and the condiments for serving at your local Japanese market, or in the Asian foods section of the grocery store. Additionally, some markets carry special okonomiyaki flour, which includes flavorings and a little yam starch to give the pancake a spongier consistency; if you use this specialized flour, only add the water per the recipe below, and skip the dashi stock powder.

This creamy Cajun shrimp and sausage pasta dish was inspired by the flavors of gumbo. Like lots of gumbos, this recipe starts with a roux that adds depth and complexity to the creamy sauce. We like this with a simple green salad and crusty bread.
