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.

I created this Savory Sweet Potato Mash because I wanted a different twist on the traditional sweet potato casserole that is typically on the holiday table. Not to say that there isn’t a bit of sweet, they are sweet potatoes, but there is no added sweetener (or gooey marshmallows). This is a dish that you can easily prepare a day ahead of time, and just heat up when you are ready to serve, which is what I did when I was testing my holiday recipes.
You’ll love how easy this Savory Sweet Potato Mash is to prepare. Even better, you’ll love the flavor of this new twist on a holiday classic. Rather than the added sweetness of sugar or maple syrup, this sweet potato mash uses sage, rosemary, and leeks to create a unique savory flavor. The recipe is also gluten-free and Whole30 friendly.…

If you haven’t tried my Homemade Teriyaki Sauce, you really need to check it out. It uses all natural ingredients and is also gluten-free. I don’t think you’ll ever go back to store bought teriyaki once you discover how easy it is to make. Did I mention that it’s also Whole30 friendly?

I don’t know how much cooking you’ve done with toasted sesame oil, but it really imparts an amazing flavor to anything that’s cooked in it. These Toasted Sesame Green Beans are no exception. Sautéing the beans gives them a crisp tenderness, and the almond slivers add a crunch of texture to the dish. These green beans are so simple and quick to prepare, but they are packed with huge flavor.
Toasted Sesame Green Beans make an excellent side dish to accompany any protein, or you can serve them over a rice dish to create a vegetarian entree. I do believe you will love these green beans as much as we did.…
