If you don’t know how to spatchcock a chicken (or turkey) it’s your lucky day. It’s easy to do and spatchcocking has SO many benefits! But I’m going to be honest. It isn’t for those who get the heebie jeebies while handling raw meat. And you may need earplugs. Just sayin’.

If you have a smoker/grill combo like a Traeger or a CampChef (We got the CampChef!) then you’ve GOT to try this recipe. (By the way, this post isn’t sponsored, but if you’re looking …

It’s dark and rich and it makes me so happy. I’ve been making this sauce for years. It was originally part of my Easy Grilled …
Up until a few years ago I thought making clam chowder would be a pain. I never ate it unless I was in a restaurant. (Mmm. Chowder on both coasts is pretty fabulous.) When I watched my grandma make it I realized how easy it was to make homemade clam chowder. I like my grandma’s …
Do you like a good fish fry? And by fish fry, I mean shrimp, too. And some fries and some kind of dipping sauce. And those pickled red onions. All of it. This particular meal was inspired by our trip to Aruba last June. I was hoping to find something uniquely “Aruban”, but honestly, it’s …
If you haven’t used an Instant Pot to make potato salad, you’re in for a treat. My mom’s best friend made the BEST potato salad. And as far as I knew, she eyeballed everything without a recipe. It was infinitely better than store-bought potato salad which is often weirdly sweet and lacking salt. And boring. …
Have you ever had cilantro pesto? It’s a cilantro-packed version of traditional basil pesto with a few twists. Honestly, I like it better than basil pesto. It’s tied with Dill Pesto for me — try that one out, too! If you’ve ever had chimichurri, it’s similar. Chimichurri is traditionally made with parsley, but I like …
Egg Roll in a Bowl has become pretty popular lately! I’ve been making these for a few years, but for some reason never posted it. My kids LOVE these bowls. They’re on our family’s “favorite dinner list” — a very exclusive list of only unanimously voted recipes that we all love. I always hear “YAY!” …
After I posted The Best Chicken Fajitas (they really are), I tried that same marinade with some steak fajitas. You know what? It wasn’t as good with steak. Beef has a stronger flavor and needed a deeper, smokier sort of flavor. So, I got to work and created the best steak fajitas I’ve ever made! …

Homemade Steak Seasoning is one of those staple recipes I’ve been using for 10+ years, but never posted. Why? I figured everyone had a steak seasoning they liked and maybe the Internet didn’t need another version. But almost every time I mention steak seasoning on Instagram, someone asks me if I make my own and …
This post is in partnership with Fresh Menu Kitchen. All opinions shared are my own. Ingredient prepping has become one of my favorite hacks to save time in the kitchen during the week!
