The best weeknight recipes are those that are versatile enough to work not just with what you want, but also what you have. As in this simple recipe for sweet-and-sour chicken. In a creative take on this classic Asian takeout, the lightly sweet and tangy chicken is intended to be nestled into a sub roll. But if you don’t have any or simply aren’t in the mood, it does just as well over noodles, wrapped in a flour tortilla or even – ready? – over rice.

It’s always nice when you can prepare a healthy meal with seasonal ingredients. It’s even better when you can do it using only a of couple pots and pans, making cleanup a breeze. This recipe for roasted pork chops and peaches from the August issue of Real Simple magazine features a sweet and savory topping of fresh fruit and herbs cooked in the same skillet as the meat. The pork and peaches are served over a bed of fluffy couscous to complete the meal.
