I used to be suspicious of sheet pan meals. There’s no way everything can be done at the same time! Now that I’ve tried a few sheet pan recipes with great success (check these out), I think my fear is over. I made this one from BA and it turned out to be another win-win.… Continue reading Sheet Pan Chicken Meatballs and Charred Broccoli
I like easy recipes and I cannot lie. But sometimes easy recipes are bland and boring. To get around this, try to find a recipe with your favorite meat/protein (duh) and that one flavorful ingredient that will make it stand out. For me: olives. I know olives aren’t everyone’s thing, and if you hate them,… Continue reading Sheet Pan Vinegar Chicken
I’ve been sharing a lot of recipes that use my favorite kitchen toys. I know not everyone has a slow cooker, pressure cooker, and air fryer so it’s time for something more conventional. Sit down for this one. The oven. I know. Scandalous. I really like sheet pan recipes when they work, like those Sheet… Continue reading Sheet Pan Lemon Parmesan Chicken and Veggies
It seems like sheet pan recipes are all the rage, which really shouldn’t come as a surprise. Throw everything on a single baking pan and pop it in the oven. Only one pan to clean. So easy. What’s not to love? Except I’ve been very skeptical that everything comes out perfectly cooked at the same… Continue reading Sheet Pan Chicken Fajitas
Merry Christmas! All vaccinated and boostered up, we were excited to have family over, which was a change from the previous year. For appetizers, we had a selection of meats, cheeses, olives, and fruits along with Ina Garten’s amazing Rosemary Roasted Cashews. These nuts are incredible: a little sweet, a little herby, a little spicy,… Continue reading Pumpkin Cake with Cream Cheese Frosting
Hello summer! Before it gets too hot, let’s use the oven one more time for a tasty meal: meatloaf! I remember dreading meatloaf growing up. It was exactly what it sounded. A loaf of dense, heavy, plain, icky meat. Since then, I discovered that we weren’t making it right. You just can’t throw a couple… Continue reading Turkey Meatloaf
I love fish, but sometimes I don’t know what to do with it. Salt and pepper with a squeeze of lemon seems to be my fallback, but it’s not very exciting. I want something more memorable, but not overpower the fish. Let’s keep it simple. I came across a recipe from Delish that seems to… Continue reading Garlicky Lemon Baked Tilapia
The final days of summer are gone. It’s officially fall, but the hot, breezy weather isn’t convincing me to bring my sweaters out just yet. There’s still time to grill. Keeping with that theme, you must try this easy steak marinate. I chose sirloin steak because it happens to be one of the more “inexpensive”… Continue reading Italian Marinated Sirloin Steak
Last week, I shared with you Pineapple BBQ Chicken Foil Packets. Lo and behold, I’m still on my foil packets kick. I love Mexican food so let’s make fajitas! I often order fajitas when I go to a Mexican restaurant because I can’t make them at home. Although I do try, no way can I… Continue reading Chicken Fajitas Foil Packets
It’s the end of August. School started a couple weeks ago, which typically marks the end of summer. With the boy in school, it’s impossible to go on a vacation, which is hard because Labor Day seems to be my end of summer. The weather is still hot and I’m ready for a last trip,… Continue reading Pineapple BBQ Chicken Foil Packets
