With more sunshine, my end-of-day goal is to spend a few moments putzing in my garden. This means dinner consists of simple recipes, served with easy but delicious drinks, like smashes. These smashes make up a whole new world of cocktails with endless options for muddling, mixing, and of course sipping. This one is just perfect for today’s 10-Minute Happy Hour.

While we love the chance to cook in a new-to-us kitchen, the last thing we want to do on vacation is prepare a meal that creates a lot of extra work and dishes. That’s why we gravitate toward one-pot meals. Not only do they cut down on cleanup time (time which could be better spent enjoying family and friends), but they are also easier to execute — even if your rental kitchen isn’t the most well-equipped.

Here are 11 one-pot meals that will let you focus more on vacation than on cooking and cleanup.

Tartines with butter and jam, fluffy croissants, and other flaky-buttery rounds, paired with an orange juice and little else — this is the usual formula for French breakfast. Every French person in my life rattled off a variation of these breakfast mainstays when I asked them what they were accustomed to eating growing up — although the really decadent breakfast pastries, or viennoiseries, like chausson aux pommes or pain au chocolat, were generally reserved for weekends.

I’ve never understood how the common morning ritual — starch-heavy with little to no protein — can sustain appetites until lunchtime. As someone who loves breakfast and grew up eating everything from scrambled eggs to waffles with fresh fruit, always with a giant glass of milk, I struggled to feel satiated when I attempted to adapt my habits. When I realized that yogurt was more popular as a dessert than a versatile breakfast item, I knew I was in trouble.

But breakfast habits are showing signs of changing — at least in Paris, where I’ve lived for the last decade. It’s safe to say Parisians will never forgo their morning carb fix, but there are considerably more options for those who are looking to switch up their routines, thanks to restaurateurs and café owners (both French and foreign) who are finally giving the morning meal proper attention.

Here’s a look at a few welcome additions to the Parisian breakfast menu.

When you need a break from catching Pokémon on Pokémon Go (or if you just need to recharge your phone), take a minute and make these vodka cherry Pokéballs. It’s the boozy snack you didn’t know you and your friends needed to catch ’em all.

I spend an extraordinary amount of time on Pinterest — organizing boards, dreaming in themes of color (what, you don’t have a board explicitly dedicated to the color pink?), and marveling at how many people shared recipes for honey garlic shrimp. So I tried one, and it was pretty icky. I’m pretty sure the shrimp were in a diabetic coma before they even made it onto the plate. But the appeal of those flavors never left me, so I set out to make a version more akin to my initial expectations.

If you’re stuck in a breakfast rut, sometimes all you need to do is take a basic dish and turn it on its head. These granola tarts, for example, are a riff on the simple granola-yogurt-fruit breakfast combination. Instead of sprinkling granola on top of the yogurt, we’re turning the granola into mini tart shells. Breakfast just got way more exciting.
