Poblano Corn Pasta
Jump to Recipe A Pasta Dish to remember I don’t know about you but I have been craving pasta and this Poblano & Corn pasta gives me everything I want and NEED right now. It is rich, creamy, a little spicy and just plain YUMMY! Grill It Up… One of the things I love most about this recipe is the grilled poblanos and grilled corn. Now I understand it is not grilling season but no worries you can either roast them or use an indoor grill pan and get just about the same effect. That is what makes this pasta a great option year round… you can grill everything…

Skillet Lemon Chicken
I am so ready for warm weather and I so ready for this Skillet Lemon Chicken. All in one skillet Yes you read that right….the chicken and sauce are all made in one skillet, start to finish. The beauty of one skillet is that the flavors are going to build on one another without a lot of extra ingredients and there is one one pan to clean up at the end. I am a big, big fan of only one pan to clean up…that gives me more time to spend with my family and friends. Light but still rich Even though this chicken is cooked in a cream sauce…

Instant Pot Corned Beef & Cabbage
St. Patricks Day is just a round the corner and according to my dad that means it is time for Corned Beef and Cabbage. A few years ago I decided to fix it for him instead of taking him out, and I am so glad I did. It was his last St Patricks Day with us and he loved it as did I. Everything in one pot The beauty of the instant pot is that you literally can cook everything in one pot. That means one pot to clean up when everything is all said and done…I so LOVE that!! OK, well maybe one pot and a cutting board but…

Veggie Enchilada Stack
It is a Veggie Enchilada Stack kinda night. Veggies, chicken, beans, cheese and tortillas sound like a must make dinner. It’s all about the veggies… The beauty of this recipe is you can use whatever veggies you have on hand (or whatever ones your family will eat). This time around I stuck with squash, zucchini and peppers. Next time I am going to throw in some eggplant and possibly mushrooms for even more heartiness. One of the secrets of this dish is to season every layer, including the veggies. I kept it simple with just some salt, pepper and chili powder but made sure there was enough to make…

Teriyaki Salmon
Teriyaki Salmon will turn anyone into a salmon lover in no time. Perfectly cooked salmon covered in a delicious homemade teriyaki sauce that comes together in NO TIME! Ain’t your momma’s salmon Growing up the closest we got to salmon was the canned version made into croquette patties. As much as I loved those croquettes as I grew up I started to appreciate just how good fresh salmon really could be. There are so many options from grilling to roasting to pan searing. For some fun recipes, check out this Grilled Salmon or this Chili Rubbed Salmon for a little extra kick. I will say though this Teriyaki version is quickly…

Roasted Rib Roast
My brother blew it out of the park this past Christmas with the Roasted Rib Roast… trust me you need to make this ASAP! It all starts with the seasoning Having a good crust on a prime rib is everything and this recipe gives you a great crust but with just a few ingredients. To make the rub it is just Montreal Steak Seasoning and some extra pepper and that’s all. Seriously, it is all we use and just look at that crust! If you do not have Montreal steak seasoning you can use any all purpose seasoning you have, I highly recommend a course seasoning though for a pretty…

When it is super hot I am not into super heavy meals that weight me down… and this chicken is light but bursting with flavor. There is a bit of lime, a bit of coconut and some cilantro sliding in here and there, making this a perfect summer dish. One Pan & Done In the summer the least amount of time I can have the oven or stove on for is a…

Simple Roasted Chicken
Roasted Chicken is truly one of my staples for lunch & dinner. I mean think about it you can pair it with just about anything & it is done in no time…making it perfect for dinner this week. All about prep… In my opinion prepping the chicken is the most important part. This is when you can ensure there will be tons of flavor, it will be juicy and get the golden skin. So how do we do all of this… well, hold on…here we go. First is about the flavor. I prefer a little lemon, some herbiness (not sure that is a real word) and some delicious seasoning. So…
