These marinated Thai steak kabobs are easy, flavorful and delicious — especially with a drizzle of coconut curry sauce. If you serve them alongside some coconut rice, they’re positively dreamy.
This smash burger recipe is my favorite burger. I always say that about new stuff I post, but…. for real this time. Caramelized onions and jalapenos are cooked with a smashed grass-feed beef patty and covered with chipotle mayo in whatever bun you like!
These marinated lamb loin chops are perfect for a fancy meal for two that doesn’t take much effort! Grill them or cook them in a skillet — they’re tender & delicious either way! I’d be interested to know how many posts start off like, “I don’t even like [insert food] but here’s a great recipe …

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! …
This instant pot recipe for tender Shredded Beef with Green Chile is perfect for taco night! This juicy beef that requires no chopping makes for easy preparation. Serve with tacos, salads, burritos, or on a bed of rice or grains.
This easy sausage & rice skillet is one of my favorite ONE PAN meals. And bonus — it’s done in about 30 minutes! (And everyone will like it. Honest.)
I wanted this Instant Pot pot roast to be easy enough to make on a weeknight, but special enough to make for company. (Those kinds of recipes are the best, amiright?) I also LOVE fresh rosemary and garlic — especially together. They make such a delicious pot roast and the gravy is just heaven. If …
*I’ve partnered with Walmart for this post. Any comments or opinions shared are my own.* My favorite kinds of meals are the ones that require the least amount of brain power. They’re ones that I can make from things I have on hand or grab a couple of things from the store without consulting a …
Ah, grilling season isn’t over yet, friends. I think fall might be better for grilling anyway because it’s not blazing hot outside while you’re cooking stuff over a very hot fire. Sweaty, much? Luckily, you can make these amazing beef skewers ANY TIME OF THE YEAR. Plus, it’s another reason to pull out the Homemade …
Today is Steve’s birthday. The big 4-0, people. Steve’s the kind of guy who embraces stuff like that. I embrace it, too . . . on him. I like how his hair is on its way to be salt and peppery just like his dad’s. He’s lucky to have a full, thick head of it, …
As much as I love throwing a burger on the grill with some wild toppings, I sure don’t have a lot of burger recipes on my site! Note to self: create more burger recipes.
One of my favorite easy things to make on a weeknight is a sheet pan dinner. I almost always have some kind of pre-cooked sausage in the fridge (Aidell’s is our favorite!). This Quick Sausage & Veggie Sheet Pan Dinner can be eaten alone or over salad greens or as part of a rice bowl. …
I’m going to do something slightly unconventional with this post, but since there are no hard and fast rules to blogging, it’s cool, right?
For someone who LOVES a good burger, I have a surprisingly small stash of burger recipes on my site. I’ve had an idea for an ultimate mushroom burger for a while now and this recipe turned out even better than I hoped!
This goulash recipe is reminiscent of a authentic Hungarian goulash with tender chunks of braised beef and a bright red paprika sauce. It’s cozy and comforting and the epitome of comfort food. It’s also a simple recipe and easy to make, too!
Meatloaf is one of those love/hate foods — either people really love it or they really. . . don’t. And, bless its heart, meatloaf won’t win any beauty contests. I’ve always wondered why general meatloaf opinions are so polarized — it s a comfort food, after all. Maybe there are just too many poorly made …
These cute little skillet meatloaves are a quick weeknight meal that cook up much faster than a traditional meatloaf!
These killer burgers are topped with a chipotle-infused combo of caramelized onions and mushrooms and a special smoky garlic aioli. They’re great with or without a bun, too!
This steak chili without beans is, hands down, the best beef chili I’ve ever eaten. It contains all the things you want in a chili, plus slow-cooked beef for an extra tender and hearty meal! Your family will love this flavorful recipe!
Why are these the best Sloppy Joe’s ever? Well, they’re not overly sweet or fussy. You don’t even need a knife. (Honest!) And eating it over a pile of sweet potato fries puts chili fries to shame.
