Stone Fruit Caprese from NYT Cooking. In place of tomatoes, I used plums and Palisade Peaches, and in place of vinegar this uses lemon juice. Don’t forget the olive oil—it takes the dish up a notch! We give this a 5.

We have a lot of cucumbers from our garden, so this is Spicy Cucumbers with Mint Scallions and Crushed Peanuts from NYT Cooking. This has a dressing that is nicely balanced in flavor and quantity with the cucumbers and herbs. Key step is letting it chill for 30 minutes—perfect in our heat! Simple and fabulous, this gets a 5.

Mushroom Smash Burgers from NYT Cooking. These are really quite delicious! The mushrooms really do become flat and crispy. I would use a bit more onion powder and salt on the mushrooms, but these still get a 5.
