This Hawaiian mac salad is different from your typical macaroni salad and makes an excellent accompaniment to sweeter grilled chicken like Huli Huli chicken. The original recipes swear by the necessity of using regular Hellman's/Best Food's mayo.

Serves 4

2 large hard-boiled eggs, cubed with egg slicer or grated on large holes of box grater
8 oz elbow macaroni

Makes 20-24 cookies

• 1½ cups AP flour

• 1 teaspoon kosher salt
• ½ teaspoon ground cayenne (optional)
• 2 teaspoons ground cinnamon (optional)
• ½ cup unsalted butter, room temperature
• 1½ cups light brown sugar
• 1 large egg, at room temperature
• 2 teaspoons vanilla extract

• Mini marshmallows, frozen, ~100

• ¼cup granulated sugar and 1 t cinnamon for cinnamon sugar step at baking

In a medium bowl, whisk flour, cocoa powder, baking soda, salt, and optionally cayenne and 2 teaspoons ground cinnamon.

• 1 cup white sugar
• ½ cup light corn syrup
• ¼ cup water
• ¼ teaspoon salt
• 1 cup peanuts (ideally raw peanuts with the skins, but roasted is ok, and if salted, omit the salt)
• 2 tablespoons unsalted butter, softened
• 1 teaspoon baking soda

Preparation:

Have all ingredients measured out before starting.

Grease a large rimmed baking sheet. Set aside.

Instructions

Combine sugar, corn syrup, water, and salt in a heavy, 2-quart saucepan over medium heat. Stir until sugar is dissolved and the mixture comes to a boil, about 5 minutes.

This Kitchn recipe was a nice way to use up some leftover summer produce, and tasty to boot. We don't usually grill our pizzas, and this turned out just fine using our standard Neapolitan pizza cooking process.

Ingredients
1 ball pizza dough (about 1 pound), store-bought or homemade
2 to 3 tablespoons tomato sauce, store-bought or homemade
1/4 cup shredded mozzarella cheese, or to taste
