Boiled potatoes don’t need a long ingredient list to become a finished side dish. A German preparation called Petersilienkartoffeln keeps the potatoes plain during cooking, then adds butter and fresh parsley while they are still hot. Salt and pepper handle the rest.

Ground beef can handle plenty of seasoning, yet adding more salt, spices, or cheese isn’t the only way to give it more flavor. A small amount of acidity can change how all that richness tastes. The unexpected addition is balsamic vinegar. Even a splash brings acidity against the beef’s fat and savory flavor, while balsamic

Peaches may not be the first ingredient you reach for when making BBQ chicken, yet this slow cooker version puts two full cups into the sauce. Their fruit sweetness joins smoky barbecue sauce, brown sugar, cider vinegar, garlic, and chipotle pepper before the mixture gets poured over chicken breasts. Three hours in the slow cooker
