Russets aren't the only spuds worth stuffing. Smoke and heat, achieved with chili powder and ground red pepper, work particularly well with sweet potatoes.

View Recipe: Roasted Shrimp With White Beans and Feta

Roasting shrimp in the oven is a hands-off route to bringing out robust flavor; the method also helps prevent overcooking, keeping shrimp tender. Prep tip: It's easier to grate the rind before juicing the lemon.

Friday: Mushroom and Arugula Pizza

View Recipe: Mushroom and Arugula Pizza

There’s no better place to slip in some extra leafy greens than on a pizza. Peppery arugula adds a burst of tangy freshness that pairs perfectly with deeply savory toppings. Mushrooms are the ideal stand-ins for traditional cured meat toppers that are laden with sodium; a mix of cremini and portobello adds meaty, umami-rich flavor and earthiness
