Smoked Pork Loin Roast with a Savory Rub
Smoked Pork Loin is one of my favorite summer recipes. It’s easy to prepare, turns out perfectly juicy, and always brings a smile to the faces of those eating it. This is a recipe that I love to serve for a gathering of friends—it’s easy to smoke more than one pork loin if we have a larger crowd.
While I know most of us aren’t having large gatherings at the moment, this is a perfect recipe for a family barbecue in the backyard. A two pound loin will provide about four generous servings. If you’re only feeding two people (like me), you’ll have leftovers to make bbq pork sandwiches 😋
…Air Fryer Chicken Parmesan with Homemade Marinara (Gluten-free)
Air Fryer Chicken Parmesan has a crispy coating with juicy tenderloins and has quickly become a favorite recipe in this house. The homemade marinara is quick and easy, but is definitely worth simmering for a time to develop further depth of flavor. The first time I tried making this dish, Russ said, “This is the best Chicken Parm I have ever eaten.” That made my mind up. I knew I had to perfect the recipe to share with the rest of you.
I absolutely love how crispy the chicken is with this easy recipe, yet it remains juicy and tender inside. No need for a knife, your fork easily slices through the cutlets. Plus, using the air fryer is much healthier for you than deep frying in oil. You also cut down on the messy cleanup that frying always involves.…
Air Fryer Whole Chicken with Lemon and Thyme
Air Fryer Whole Chicken with Lemon and Thyme is a recipe that I’ve been making on repeat lately, at least every other week. Why, you ask? Number one—it’s tender and juicy with a deliciously crispy skin. Number two—it’s incredibly economical. Not only do you have an easy, scrumptious dinner for the night, but you also have leftover shredded chicken to incorporate into other recipes. Plus, you also have the bones to cook down into a nourishing broth for so many uses in the kitchen.

Unstuffed Pepper Casserole
If you like stuffed peppers, you will love how easy this Unstuffed Pepper Casserole is to make. And, even better, it’s great for meal prep—it freezes well for easy week night dinners.
Plus, it’s super easy to adapt this recipe to what you have on hand. Use any rice or grain you have in your pantry. I’ve used white, brown, or wild rice (sometimes a combination). You can even use quinoa for an extra nutritional boost. Don’t have fresh peppers? Dice up a jar of fire roasted peppers. I like to use turkey sausage in mine, but you can substitute any ground meat you have on hand. Heck, you can even go vegetarian and substitute mushrooms or eggplant for the meat. …
