Like so many people, lunch is always a constant struggle for me. Figuring out dinner and breakfast is easy, but that midday meal – boy is it tough to crack. I constantly struggle with buying and prepping intentional lunches for the week. The one thing that has proven to be a savior is leftovers. If I make a dinner or two every week that holds up well in the fridge for a few days for a satisfying lunch, I can rest easy. Here are seven recipes I frequently turn to.

We’ve all been there: You have friends over for dinner, you notice your dining companion about to dig in, and, for whatever reason, you also know they haven’t washed their hands. Powerless, you look on in horror as their hand reaches, as if in slo-mo, arching through the air, ultimately making contact with a pita chip. Which is then dragged through the delightful pesto you made with the last of your summer basil, dripping germs and who knows what else.

And now? Now that pesto is ruined, at least for you. You consider ending the friendship, but in the grand scheme of things, not washing hands isn’t quite offensive enough to warrant that. Well, I guess it really could be, depending on what was on those hands. But it’s unlikely.

So, what to do instead?

There’s chocolate cake and then there’s this chocolate cake — four glorious layers of rich and tender dark chocolate cake, slathered with a whipped ganache frosting and drizzled with a bittersweet chocolate sauce. It’s not the one-bowl cake you make on a Wednesday night to serve after dinner, nor is it the brownie-cake hybrid you remember eating as a kid. This is a very serious, very deep and dark chocolate cake for people who aren’t afraid to shout their love of chocolate from the rooftops. The kind of cake so decadent that the only thing you can serve alongside it is a tall glass of cold milk or a cup of hot coffee.

A chocolate cake of this stature doesn’t have to be complicated. Using our favorite chocolate tricks — including blooming cocoa before baking and whipping chocolate and cream into frosting — we’ve streamlined the making of this decadent cake for maximum chocolate flavor and smart kitchen efficiency.
