If you’ve never tried roasting garlic before, this may just be a game changer for you. Fresh garlic can sometimes be overpowering, but roasting it brings out the garlic’s sweet notes and gives it a caramelized, nutty flavor. Trust me when I say it’s addicting.
This Cast Iron Skillet Frittata is going to become your new favorite way to serve eggs. It’s a fluffy, creamy, flavor explosion, that just looks fancy. Yep, it really is easy to prepare, uses only one pan, and is perfect for using up all those odds and ends in the fridge.
WARNING: Veggies are hidden in these Air Fryer Twice-Baked Loaded Potatoes. Ooey gooey Cabot Sharp Cheddar Cheese, creamy potatoes, and smoky bacon—come on, what’s not to like? Oh, that riced broccoli? Really, they won’t even notice. Yep, I’m okay with being sneaky if I can get an extra serving of veggies on the plate without hearing complaints.
Avocado Crema with Lime and Cilantro is the perfect creamy pairing for all your Mexican and Tex-Mex food recipes. It’s tangy and slightly spicy with a hint of chipotle’s smoky heat. Seriously, it was all I could do to not just eat it straight out of the bowl with a spoon. Well, maybe I had a few bites. 😉
Just do yourself a favor, and make this sauce as soon as possible. If you love avocados, I pinky promise you won’t regret it, and I do believe Avocado Crema will become one of your favorite all around sauces. I’ve been making variations of this for years, and this particular version is my favorite.
…Looking to up your salad dressing game? This Strawberry Basil Vinaigrette will impress with it’s slightly sweet, vibrant summer flavors.
I’m one of those gals who is totally happy drizzling a bit of extra virgin olive oil and balsamic vinegar over my salad. Yep, I actually like to taste my veggies. BUT, sometimes I want something extra special. That’s when I mix up a doozy like this.
Strawberry Basil Vinaigrette is a refreshing dressing for green and fruit salads alike. It’s creamy, tangy, and a little sweet from the strawberries and a touch of honey. Plus, it comes together in less than 10 minutes—your blender does all the work for you.
…Mango Salsa is definitely my new favorite. It has a touch of sweetness from the mangos and a kick of spice from the jalapeños, making it the perfect stand alone dip, or use it to top all your favorite tacos and nachos.
Living in south Florida definitely has its perks when it comes to mangos. It seems like half my friends have mango trees in their backyards—if not a mango tree, then an avocado tree. Not even gonna lie, I absolutely love when they share the wealth with me. But, what do you do when one of those friends brings you a bag of ten fresh mangos?
Well, Mango Salsa of course! (And Mango Coladas 😉) It’s quick, easy, and oh so yummy. Your friends and family will thank you for sharing with them. Fair warning though, they’ll probably keep asking you to make it again, and again, and again….
…Mediterranean Three Bean Salad is quick and easy to make and the perfect side dish for your summer grilling. I made this to accompany our grilled chicken over the weekend, and let’s just say I only had a few servings left for lunches for work.
Yep, it was that good. Do I even need to mention that it’s pretty healthy for you as well? The Cannellini beans provide a creamy contrast to the crunch of the chickpeas. And, tomatoes, cucumber, Kalamata olives, and feta cheese add a Mediterranean flair that is absolutely binge worthy.
…Easy Homemade Smoked Salsa is a game changer. I’ve often purchased smoky flavored salsas, but I got to thinking, “How difficult could it be to make my own?” Answer: Easy peasy! Yes, the smoking takes some time, but it certainly isn’t difficult. Besides, the extra depth of flavor that smoking the veggies creates is totally worth the extra time. Your tastebuds and your guests, if you actually save any for them, will thank you.
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.
