Another HUGE Instant Pot win! This mojo pork is life giving. Pork shoulder is one of my favorite things to make in the Instant Pot because it takes SO MUCH LESS time than a low and slow oven roast, and it is unbelievably juicy, tender, and delicious. The way I make pork in the Instant Pot most often is with my Carnitas recipe, but this Mojo Pork might just be my new fave. And it is super ...
One Pan Coconut Lemon Chicken
This - is - the - easiest - dinner - ever. We're talkin' ONE pan, THREE ingredients, 20 MINUTES tops on your prep + cook time. It is so easy you guys, and it's SO GOOD! The chicken is juicy, the sauce is delicious, and it is extra perfect served over rice with tons of sauce spooned over top. When we make this, we serve it with a side salad + throw some rice in the Instant Pot when the chicken ...
Whole 30 Coconut Curry Ramen
There are few things I love more than a big bowl of flavorful, delicious ramen - the kind where broth is so deep and flavorful that it's almost rich. It's one of my favorite things to eat! I love making ramen at home. It's not quite as authentic as the places that simmer their broth for five years and add toppings like pork cheek or something awesome and crazy like that, BUT - this one goes ...
Steak with Spicy Cucumber Salsa
Thisssssssss is the HEIGHT of a satisfying, easy weeknight dinner, friends. The steak gets a delicious sear and is then roasted to medium rare perfection, and the whole thing is topped off with a WONDERFUL, fresh, crunchy, satisfying spicy cucumber salsa. It's dinner dreams, feel me? It's the combination of flavors and textures that will make your taste buds sing Christmas carols all year ...
Crispy Oven Baked Salt and Vinegar Chicken Wings
Y'all. These chicken wings are CRISPY. Like...SUPER crispy. Crispy as in fried-level crispy. I am in love. And it all goes down in the oven! No deep frying in oil. A hot oven and a long cook time takes care of that crispy skin for you. These are designed to be a nod to salt and vinegar chips, but they don't have quite the super jaw cramping vinegar flavor that the chips do - this is more ...
Chimichurri Chicken
Say hello to your brand new weeknight favorite, friends and family! This chicken is a super sneaky weeknight meal because it's one that doesn't taste like it took half an hour to make! Not. At. All. The chicken is juicy and moist (not to mention super flavorful from the blackening seasoning), and the chimichurri is crazy flavorful and impossibly fresh. They are a match made in heaven! The ...
Roasted Leek Salad with Apple Cider Vinaigrette
I love a good fall salad. Salads are typically seen as a "fresh summer" type situation, but fall salads are my fave! They seem to have heartier ingredients, and it's not uncommon that they have a roasted veggie or two thrown in there. In this case, our roasted veggie is the humble leek. It's a type of onion, but the flavor is mild and extra savory in my opinion! They get caramelized, soft, ...
Caramelized Butternut Squash with Pecans
This. Butternut. Squash. Is. NEXT LEVEL, you guys. Butternut squash is usually the star in soups, you don't see it quite as often served on its own as a side. But, man oh man oh man, this caramelized butternut squash is to die for! The sweetness of the veggie itself is deepened by the caramelization, but then we've got pecans, lots of garlic, sage, and thyme thrown in for the last few minutes - ...
Chopped Cauliflower Salad
There's something so fun and satisfying about a salad without any greens! They are super extra hearty, and it's like a bowl full of JUST the toppings (which are the best part anyway, right?!). This salad is definitely hearty, but it's also full of flavors and textures that balance each other out: Roasted, tender cauliflowerCrunchy fresh celery and fennelNutty almondsA bright lemon ...
Thai Stir Fry with Curry “Peanut” Sauce
THAI FOOD. Sorry for screaming - I get overly excited about Thai food. It's my fave. That and sushi. I can't pick between them - DON'T MAKE ME. I actually have to make a concerted effort not to post constant Thai recipes on here and be repetitive. I already have another Thai recipe coming next week, so I couuuuld be doing a better job at this. Oh well...YOLO. This dish is a total mix ...
