Salads for dinner are something that we have at our house at least twice a week. I know most people think salads can be a little boring, but I always make it my goal to make them hearty and full of flavor. Lately I have been obsessing over my cobb salad, and recently I have fallen in love again with my crispy baked buffalo chicken salad. This is a salad that I make anytime I get a craving for buffalo anything. It is a healthier meal idea that is super satisfying and can be made quickly any night of the week. This recipe for crispy baked buffalo chicken salad is one that will have you excited for salads at dinnertime over and over again.
Lettuce wraps are one of those things that I love having almost weekly. There are so many possibilities for flavor combinations and I especially love using lettuce wraps with spicy food because of the crisp freshness that the lettuce gives the dish. While you are probably most familiar with Asian Chicken Lettuce wraps, I love using wraps in other recipes as well. Spicy Korean pork is one of those foods that has an undeniable flavor and is actually really easy to create at home too. These delicious grilled spicy Korean pork lettuce wraps are a great weeknight dinner option and will quickly become a favorite dish in your house.
Tacos have a special place in my heart and I’d say we have them at least once a week for breakfast or dinner. I love coming up with new combos that are a little bit unusual. They usually start as an experiment and end up as my new favorite recipe! To me, that’s what cooking is all about. These tacos are extra special thanks to the potatoes getting cooked in the chorizo renderings and a layer of fried cheese (frico) that really takes them to a whole other level! I am telling y’all that these tacos are amazing in every sense. From texture, taste, and beyond you are going to love these sweet potato and chorizo tacos for a new weeknight dinner.
Summertime salads happen at least a couple of times a week at our house because when the weather is this hot outside, turning on the oven just isn’t an option. There is one salad in particular that we have almost weekly and that’s a classic Cobb salad. I have several different versions of Cobb salads that I have shared with you before, but for some reason I have managed to forget to share the one recipe that started them all. There is something so good about the mix of ingredients in a Cobb salad and I love making my homemade ranch dressing to serve with it. This is salad that got my son eating salads again so you know that it is delicious! Today I am sharing the best grilled chicken Cobb salad that you need to add to your weekly dinner rotation as soon as possible.
When summertime hits, there are a few seasonal produce items that always end up in my fridge each week. Summer squash, zucchini, and corn are my go-to during this time of year because there are so many possibilities for recipes to make with them. You can grill them, roast them, stuff them, sauté them, and one of my favorites is to add them to pasta dishes! Who doesn’t love a good pasta dish? Thats why I love adding veggies into pasta recipes anytime that I can! This delicious recipe for summer squash and corn pasta is going to quickly become your new favorite way to use up all of those summer vegetables available right now.
Life has been interesting to say the least the past two months right? Quarantine life has definitely taught me things about myself that I didn’t know and challenged me in new ways. Mostly because of the amount I have been cooking, there are some nights where I am just not sure I have it in me to make one more meal. I have never felt like that before, but when you are cooking three meals a day, every day, for everyone in the family, it can burn out even those of us who love to cook! I am sure you can relate, which is why simple and easy dinners are lifesavers right now. Sheet pan meals have always been a go-to dinner for me on nights where I just do not want a bunch of dishes to clean up. I can place everything on the same pan, it goes into the oven, and dinner is done and done. Minimal effort and maximum flavor is what I am all about. My sheet pan apricot chicken and broccoli is one of my new favorite sheet pan dinners and I know that your whole family will love it too.
