Indian food is the best. I love playing with Indian flavors and spices. It makes me so happy. Have you ever had Saag Paneer? It’s a spinach/greens (saag) curry with fresh cheese cubes (paneer). It’s one of my all-time favorites. I had this bright idea of swapping out the cheese cubes for chicken and tweaking …
Main Dishes
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.
Now that Everything Bagel Seasoning is a household staple, how have you been using it? Are you sprinkling it on everything? I love all of the Everything Bagel-ized products at Trader Joe’s — including their Everything Bagel Gravlax. Are you a gravlax fan? Gravlax (or cured salmon) is surprisingly easy to make and MUCH more …
This delicious tamale pie with tender shredded chicken and green chile sauce is made with millet flour and is gluten-free and corn-free! What’s a tamale pie? Tamale pies are a tex-mex shortcut to get the flavors you love from tamales without all of the labor-intensive prep. The filling is usually meat or vegetables in a …
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 …
Friends, I had a hard time reigning in this wild rice salad recipe. This is literally a “choose your own adventure” situation, and I wanted to ADD ALL THE THINGS. BUT. I thought it would be better posted as a base. A jumping off point, if you will. However you choose to make it, it’s …
Have any of you tried my Paleo Zucchini Flatbread? I posted it in 2016 and ever since I’ve wanted to make them into little sandwich wraps. My flatbread recipe worked beautifully! And I tried it with spaghetti squash and got great results, too. (More on that in the recipe notes below.)
I realize that the Internet probably has enough Instant Pot shredded chicken recipes (especially for tacos), but I feel like it needs one more. (Maybe more than that. I’m not promising this is the last shredded chicken recipe I’ll ever post.)
*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 …
Sablefish! This is the first sablefish recipe I’ve posted! And ohhhh, it’s a good one. I’m a huge fan of fish — mostly salmon and sturdy white fish that I can marinated and grill and turn into Fish Taco Bowls, Fish Nuggets, or Cajun Foil-Packet Salmon. What is sablefish? I’ve recently been trying out some …
If you’ve been around here for a while you might be surprised to see a recipe for Instant Pot black beans. I’ve been mulling over how I wanted to approach this topic, since my blog has had a somewhat firm “paleo” stance for the past several years. Truth be told, I’m not a fan of …
Indian has always been a huge favorite of mine. And Steve’s. Since the early college days of our marriage when we’d splurge $35 for our anniversary at Bombay House in Provo, UT. We LOVED the rich, flavorful curries and the warm, chewy naan bread. *swoon* Steve started dropping hints about cooking Indian food at home …
How’s everyone hanging in there? We’re into week 2 of #stayhome and although Steve and I still have our chiro office open, we don’t go anywhere. (Honestly, it’s not that different from my regular life. Heh.) One thing I’m grateful for is all of the stuff I stashed in the freezer. Including ribs.
Oh man. I don’t remember the last time that I posted something with ooey-gooey cheesiness. It doesn’t happen that often these days, but I felt like this spaghetti squash bake could be an exception. But first, Steve’s a patient guy. Have I ever talked about this? When we’re at a restaurant and we’re eating something …
I always feel super domestic when I make homemade bone broth. I went through a phase about 10 years ago where I made a LOT of what we ate from scratch on stove top. That was back when I “only” had 2 kids and our lives were a lot less busy and complicated. These days I …
Does the thought of prepping a whole chicken freak you out? I’ve been told this by a lot of people which is why I wrote a monster post to explain why it’s actually easy. And I attempted to answer all of the questions you might have. But, first I want to tell you a story …
Making homemade chicken breakfast sausage was a revelation to me. It’s hard to find good quality breakfast sausage without additives or extra… “stuff” It’s a perfect addition to scrambles, omelets and breakfast bowls! Speaking of breakfast bowls . . . There are a few things I could eat every day: Variations on taco salad. Really …
Here we go. This is what I was teasing you with when I posted that Instant Pot Coconut Rice over the weekend. Rice isn’t super interesting in a photo by itself, so I put some of this curry on top. OHHH you’ll love this Thai fish curry. Well, unless you don’t like fish, then… don’t …
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 …
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. Meanwhile Steve looks at me with an eyebrow cocked. JK. He’s used to it. And he gets excited because he thinks recreating restaurant recipes is …
After writing two cookbooks with a total of 27 (!!) recipes for pulled meat (and five BBQ sauces) in both books, I thought it was rather sad that I didn’t have an Instant Pot Pulled Pork recipe on my site. A total shame, right? It’s a classic recipe that everyone should have in their collection. …
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, …
I have this great friend named Kristi. She has been a reader of my blog for at least 9-10 years. And we even met in person once! (I happened to be near where she lived once so I totally knocked on her door at 10:30PM like a creeper. And she still likes me.) Kristi has …
If you make anything I post this summer — it has to be this grilled chicken recipe. Actually…. I’ve got another recipe in the pipeline I could say the same thing about. But first, make this. This chipotle-lime marinade is SO SO AMAZING. It goes perfectly with the fruity salsa on top! Yeah, you could …
