HOME COOKING Though I’m a big fan of ground beef tacos, this recipe, made with slow-cooked chuck roast, is a lot more flavorful—plus any extra meat holds up well for a save-it-forward meal later in the week. —Cyndi If you don’t love the smoky heat of chipotles, reduce the amount of adobo sauce in the recipe. Ree says: “Hyacinth’s recipes are amazing, and her friend illustrated each dish in the book!” Leftovers for Lunch Use the beef that’s left after dinner to whip up quesadillas for a quick midday meal. And if your lunch hour is more like “lunch 30,” make the recipe the night before, then just warm the quesadillas in the microwave.

Ready for Rhubarb For Ree, spring means it’s time for rhubarb desserts! h, how I love rhubarb! It always reminds me of my grandmother: There was a little restaurant in her town called The Ideal Cafe, and they served rhubarb pie year-round. I like baking with it in the spring when it’s fresh. It’s so beautiful and weird and tart—and when you mix it with lots (and lots and lots) of sugar, it makes a pretty wondrous dessert!
