Mother’s Day- Little Gem & Herb Fries

May
8
One of my favorite lunches with my mom and sisters is a simple salad and French fries. Ordering a salad as a main takes the guilt out of devouring a platter of fries, lol. These herb fries turn out perfect every time. The two step cooking process ensures the inside is cooked to perfection while getting that perfect crunch on the outside. I'm topping them with lemon parsley salt and serving them with a super fresh little gem … keep reading darling...

Chilaquiles

Apr
25
Chilaquiles are one of my favorite brunch dishes. It's basically a big skillet of breakfast nachos. I'm using some of the left over barbacoa meat from the Mexican Street Tacos and the Barbacoa Enchilada Sauce to take this dish to the next level. I also fried some flour tortillas for the perfect homemade chips. I just top everything with fried eggs, avocado, some queso fresco and serve it right out of the skillet. Chila… keep reading darling...

Greek Chicken Pita

Apr

This Greek Chicken Pita is so incredible, I ate it 3 days in a row while testing the recipe! Trust me on this one- you will love it! The tzatziki is so creamy and filled with fresh herbs- it's the perfect balance to the bright Greek salad and lemony grilled chicken. I pile everything on a piece of grilled naan bread to serve but it can easily be adapted. You could serve it over a bed of greens if you are watching carbs and yo… keep reading darling...

Blackened Salmon

Apr
1
Blackened Salmon is one of my favorite go-to weeknight dinner recipes. It's clean and light and the blackening seasoning gives it a ton of flavor. I love this recipe because you just pop it in the oven and it turns out perfect every time. The trick to getting this cooked to perfection is to cook it at a super high temperature- 500 degrees. The high temperature gives is a perfect crust but keeps the salmon moist. I use a parch… keep reading darling...
