  • Guacamole Deviled Eggs

    Guacamole Deviled Eggs

    Part guacamole, part deviled egg, this appetizer is addictive. Make them knowing they will be eaten in minutes. Simple to create, the hardest part is peeling the hard boiled eggs. But, I promise it will be worth the effort. They will be a huge hit at your next tailgate or watch party. Plus, you can…

  • Maple Dijon Salmon

    Maple Dijon Salmon

    This four ingredient entree is the answer to busy weeknight meals. Maple Dijon Salmon is ready in under 10 minutes and tastes fantastic. It’s also healthy, but we won’t tell anyone about that. The last several times I made this I roasted carrots and potatoes together, but if you’re in a hurry, I’d open a…

  • Mustard Grilled Chicken

    Mustard Grilled Chicken

    This recipe for mustard grilled chicken is a regular at our house. We’ve been making it all summer and are not even close to getting tired of it. It also takes under 30 minutes from start to finish. Sometimes, I’ll throw chives or thyme in the marinade. Others, I forget and make it without. Either…

  • Lemon, Garlic and Thyme Slow Cooker Whole Chicken

    Lemon, Garlic and Thyme Slow Cooker Whole Chicken

    For several years, I’ve used my slow cooker regularly to cook an entire chicken. I had been using the 100 Days of Real Food cookbook’s version, which uses a combination of spices. But, several months ago, I started switching it up, and the results have been fantastic. Essentially, I now give the chicken the Ina…

  • Cinnamon Baked Apple Slices

    Cinnamon Baked Apple Slices

    This is a rare, two-ingredient side, and I can guarantee your family will love it. We eat cinnamon baked apple slices almost every Sunday with chicken, peas and salad to reset our system after Saturdays spent eating pizza, brownies and other unwholesome things. I’m going to go out on a limb and say these apples…

  • Tomato and Watermelon Salad

    Tomato and Watermelon Salad

    This simple, 5-ingredient dish works best with peak season produce, so you should probably make it soon. Here, tomatoes and watermelon are plated together with a faint sprinkle of salt and pepper. Then, they’re topped with feta and a drizzle of arugula oil, which sounds fancy, but comes together in minutes. Personally, I think this…

  • Tomato Basil Pasta

    Tomato Basil Pasta

    When I was a kid, we would go out for Italian as a family whenever we were out of town. Often, my parents would get the tomato basil pasta. (Like every time) So, in honor of tomato season, I decided to try my hand at my own version. With peak season ingredients, the sauce doesn’t…

  • Beets with Honey and Goat Cheese

    Beets with Honey and Goat Cheese

    So, I have beets for you today, which I’m sure is disappointing for many of you, but please, hear me out. These beets are peeled and sliced thinly. Then, roasted in a hot oven. They’re served with a drizzle of honey and sprinkling of goat cheese. The combination is addictive. Really. I swear. Here’s some…

  • Perfect Flank Steak

    Perfect Flank Steak

    Yep, that’s steak. It’s so good that if you make it men and women will weep at your feet. Plus, since it’s flank steak, as opposed to a more expensive cut, it won’t break the bank and can be on your table in under 30 minutes. So, grab a box of kleenex, and let’s get…

  • Fresh Salsa

    Fresh Salsa

    This recipe is crazy easy, but with fresh, in-season tomatoes, the results are addictive. In it, I used just a little jalapeno, because I am a wimp. Feel free to scale the heat level up by adding more or leave it out if that’s not your thing. Stir this together soon for some of your…
