Ceviche is a South American dish that uses citruses to essentially cook the fish (aka, you won't even need to use the stove). Grab household items such as onions, cucumbers,

tomatoes, cilantro, lime, and olive oil, get some great quality seafood, and you have all the ingredients. The two important things to remember are 1) always get fresh fish 2) make

the recipe a couple hours before serving for the best taste. Serve with chips and impress everyone!

product that doesn't take that much thought? Timeless!

of thirty minutes, from preparation to actually cooking it.

The hardest part about making macaroons is mixing the batter, literally that's the biggest challenge. An easy trick is to make sure that the final batter, when mixed, doesn't have

peaks. The final mixture should flatten immediately when the whisk is taken out. Once you perfect the mixture, macaroons only take about 10 minutes to bake. Time to get the

perfect Instagram pic.
