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 …
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! …

Did you know this is the SIXTH blended squash soup recipe on my site? Fifteen years ago I still hated squash. Who am I and how did I get here? I’m pretty sure blended squash soups were my gateway to liking squash — particularly blended butternut squash soups. What is it about butternut squash? It’s …
This homemade guacamole, like the Homemade Pico de Gallo recipe I posted earlier this week, is one of my oldest recipes.

There are a few things I could eat every day: Variations on taco salad. Really …
This grilled caesar salad recipe is another recreation of something I ate at a restaurant and furiously jotted down notes as I picked my plate apart and tasted everything individually.
