sloppy joes with crispy shallots
These aren’t just any ol’ sloppy joe you had as a kid. My version has been “adulterized” by adding flavors of red wine vinegar for some tang, red wine for depth, San Marzano tomatoes because… they’re the best, red peppers for texture and sweetness, jalapeños for a little kick, and THEN topped with freshly fried crispy shallots & jalapeños to bring it all on home to Flavortown (totally felt like Guy Fieri writing that).
miso salmon over soy sesame ginger noodles
THIS recipe is the one you need to try IMMEDIATELY. The salmon (or chilean sea bass is another great option!) comes out flaky, tender and pretty much like candy. The sweetness of the miso salmon is balanced perfectly over the nest of savory, salty and slightly spicy (if desired) ramen noodles… you will want to make it over and over and OVER.
hoisin, ginger & lemongrass short ribs
YOU GUYS!!! These 👏🏼are 👏🏼 like 👏🏼 CANDY! I have made this recipe so many times and they never cease to blow my mind. They fall apart and almost taste caramelized from the hoisin and brown sugar in the sauce. They are sweet, salty, savory and scrumptious… all my favorite S’s.
pineapple grilled short ribs
These ribs are like bites of tender candy in your mouth that are packed full of flavor. Besides marinating time, they only take 3-4 minutes per side on the grill and you have complete perfection.
dry rubbed bbq ribs
I am totally a fall off the bone rib lover, and these were exactly that WITHOUT searing, grilling and all that jazz. All you need to make this recipe is your favorite dry rub, your favorite BBQ sauce, some aluminum foil & an oven! Say whaaaattt?
mamma g's pork medallions
This is such a unique recipe because the pork is simmered in a sauce made of vermouth, white wine & orange juice. I’ve never cooked with vermouth so I was so intrigued to try it! It is a simple yet eloquent taste that I really enjoyed.
the nest pot roast
Falling apart, tender & juicy… this pot roast will become a household staple for you, too! The prep time is hardly time consuming and then you just sit back and let the slow-cooked fill your house with the best aroma there is until its time for dinner.
sticky chicken
A little bit sweet and a little bit savory. I am asked frequently to make this for dinner and I can 100% understand why. And the good news is, I never mind because it’s the easiest recipe maybe on the planet! Bonus: it’s only 3 ingredients.
tarragon mustard cornish hens
Don’t let these little guys scare you off! Cornish Hens are simple to make and can be such elegant main dish for you, two or a group. This version is a French inspired recipe using ingredients such as dijon mustard & tarragon.
cranberry citrus rosemary chicken
It’s the holiday season and that deserves a dish full of holiday vibes, beauty and most of all, flavors. This chicken is not only a showstopper but it is so incredibly simple to make.
crispy honey mustard chicken
Pull off the bone chicken is always a good idea no matter what the season or occasion. I am always working on a perfect, juicy, crispy yet tender roasted chicken recipe and by George, I think I’ve done it.
daddy's grilled BBQ chicken
Growing up, my dad would make this BBQ chicken and it will forever be my favorite preparation. It is boiled before being grilled low and slow to finish the cooking and bring it to the perfect tenderness.
vietnamese beef with crispy rice
This is one of those recipes that you will crave over and over again. The tender, thinly sliced beef covered in a sweet, peppery, and slightly spicy sauce melts in your mouth. Then, it is served over a CRISPY rice… I mean, hello perfection!
coconut lime chicken
I love all things that involve ginger, coconut milk, and lime. Don’t you?! This recipe doesn’t take up your whole evening. It is super healthy and is perfect laid over Thai jasmine rice and paired with your favorite crisp veggie (my go-to is snap peas drizzled with a chili sauce!)
citrus salmon with broccolini & endive
Isn’t that the most beautiful array of edible colors you’ve ever seen? This makes me dream of summer with the fresh citrus notes paired with crisp vegetables and a perfectly seared fish.
beef & veggie stuffed peppers
Hearty, healthy & happy. Stuffed peppers are a perfect go to for a filling, non-guilty meal and are great to make for a crowd! This version is filled with veggies, herbs and loads of flavor.
