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…

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…

Roasted Beef Tenderloin
Is there anything more decadent than a perfectly cooked steak? It makes any meal feel a little more special, something to savor, but it can also be time consuming and hard if you can’t grill… don’t worry I have the perfect fix. This Roasted Beef Tenderloin is as good as any grilled steak and is so easy you won’t believe it. 5 ingredients and DONE Anytime I see a beef tenderloin on sale I grab one.

Potatoes kissed with butter & garlic = AMAZING
Potatoes are a staple side in my family and I am always on a mission to make them fun and delicious. These Garlic Butter Potatoes are not only delicious but they are so easy, they are perfect for dinner tonight!! A side to remember Ok, Ok I know that skillet roasted potatoes are nothing too special…that is until you add in the garlic, butter and thyme. For a little extra fun I used triple color baby potatoes. I just love the combo of the red, yellow and purple (yes I said purple) potatoes. There is a great mix of texture and color making this side dish feel a…

making jam in the oven…yes the oven
Is there anything better than homemade jam? I don’t know about you but I love me some homemade jam, but I never thought I could make my own without a whole lot of time and trouble…well I am here to change your mind…we are going to be making jam in the oven. OK…now I know some of you might be thinking I am a little crazy. First I am talking about making jam, and second I am talking about making jam in the oven…yes both are true. So jam in the oven, really? That is what I thought when I first saw the recipe. I couldn’t understand how that would…

simple salmon = delicious
As I have said before simple really is sometimes the best way to go…and this simple salmon is definitely the best I have had in a while. The Hubby and I love salmon and we have had many different ways. Some with sauces, such as this Lemon Caper Salmon, or some grilled like this Grilled BBQ salmon … but I have to tell you one of our favorites is just this simple salmon and this spice combo makes it AMAZING!! The spices are simple, and you probably have them all on hand…and if you don’t you really should because they can make almost anything yummy…but anyway this simple combo adds just…

turning The Hubby into a sprout…
It is no secret that I love brussel sprouts. As I have mentioned before my sis-in-law started me on this brussel sprout love affair, and it has only continued over the years, but The Hubby has never been a fan. I have made many variations of these cute little bundles of veggie goodness trying to win him over but nothing has worked…UNTIL NOW. My journey of the brussel sprout started with this simple roasted version and then I feel in love with bacon & balsamic sprouts but these lemon parmesan brussel sprouts are a new favorite for sure. I started these by simply roasting them with my favorite spice combo and then…

simple green beans are AMAZING!
Simple sides are sometimes the best sides. There is just something so good about letting the vegetable come through without a lot of extra seasoning or technique being used to enhance it and these simple green beans are AMAZING! For me I find that roasting a veggie with a few simple spices really brings out the best in most veggies and these green beans are a perfect example of this simple cooking technique. Growing-up green beans was just about the only veggie I would eat, and the love for this little green spear has only increased as I have moved into adult hood. I love them cooked low and…
