Yucatan Chicken Puffy Tacos with Peanut-Red Chili BBQ Sauce and Red Cabbage Slaw

If you're looking for a weekend project that will make you feel like a master chef, check out this recipe from Bobby Flay. The cabbage slaw is a refreshing counterbalance to the boldly-spiced chicken thanks to the addition of fresh mint.

Grilled Cabbage Caesar

This is a striking variation on a classic Caesar salad using a whole head of red cabbage instead of romaine lettuce. It gets the crunchy addition of tangy sourdough croutons that you make yourself in a jiffy. One of the best parts of this recipe: there's no raw egg to deal with when making the dressing!
