There’s a NEW butcher in town and he’s serving up all the plant-based, oh-so-CRAZY crispy chicken products your palette could desire! Don’t let the “plant-based” label fool you. These products are made with the highest grade ingredients using pea protein rather than soy based (hallelujah for the women in the world) and have a secret ingredient that provides a chicken like texture that will surprise you: bamboo!

First of all, don’t judge this recipe by the 3 year old picture above. I will definitely be reshooting this one but I thought it was more important to get this savory delight to your fingertips. This is one of my most made recipes here in my nest. I have never, and WILL never, get sick of it.

There is nothing more satisfying than taco filled with fresh & flaky blackened fish topped with a sweet & crunchy slaw in a charred flour tortilla shell. Well, at least that’s true to me! Summer is inching its way into view and so is lighter fare foods that will leave us satisfied without the overly full feeling.

Jumbo lump crab cakes was the birthday dinner request from my husband this year so I thought I’d give them a shot and WHOA, did they turn out AMAZING. A perfect crab cake in my book are thick and crispy with a punch of flavor that doesn’t take away from the decadent large clumps of crab.

There isn’t anything better than slicing your knife into a tender, juicy whole roasted chicken that’s been stuffed, seasoned & basted with citrus, fresh herbs, garlic & butter.

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.

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.

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.

This is one of my all time favorite go to’s, especially for a group! The layers of beans, cheese, fresh corn, red pepper, onion, and green chiles are perfect, especially with a dollop of sour cream on top! Also, this can be made with chicken, ground beef or even vegetarian!

What is better than a beautifully balanced pepperoni pizza? Pepperoni’s cut into the shapes of hearts… that’s what. This classic blend of toppings is enhanced with fresh sliced garlic cloves, crushed red pepper & fresh mozzarella versus shredded.

I mean, if it has THREE greens on it, it’s automatically in the healthy category… right? I LOVE the blend of these ingredients. It is bright with the citrus notes, herbaceous from the pesto, and so decadently creamy from the burrata & ricotta cheeses.

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!

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!)

I LOVE these carnitas. They are loaded with layers of flavor using a wet spice rub and a bath of delicious ingredients to slow cook in until they are falling apart. I have made pork carnitas in a variety of ways and think I have finally found the most perfect combination of seasonings and toppings. These can be made into a variety of dishes from tacos, burritos, nachos and salads. You’ll most definitely want to try these out!

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.

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.
