Let’s Talk About Pot Roast (And Also, Slightly About Tuesday Nights) You know those days when you come home, keys lost somewhere in your bag and (somehow) the dog’s leash is tangled around every leg of the dining table? Pot roast is the kind of meal I crave on days like that. Actually, last winter, …
Alright, Let’s Talk Chicken (and Air Fryers) So, you know those kinda grey, drizzly evenings where you just want something good—like, really good—but you can’t be bothered with three pans and a pile of washing up? That’s exactly when I stumbled onto this Air Fryer Garlic Parmesan Chicken recipe. First attempt was a bit of …
Let Me Tell You About This Cheesy Legend Oh, Longhorn Parmesan Crusted Chicken. Just saying it makes my mouth water. You know, the first time I tried to re-create this at home was after a totally embarrassing date (don’t ask), when I basically craved comfort food so badly, even my cat demanded a taste. The …
Let Me Tell You About Pan-Fried Pork Cutlets… Okay, so every time I make these pork cutlets I’m instantly hauled back to my little apartment kitchen, windows fogged up and the smell of golden, crispy bits floating around. The first time? Disaster. Burnt breadcrumbs everywhere and I may have mistaken salt for sugar at one …
Catching Up in the Kitchen Let me tell you, there was a Monday last winter—classic looming work deadline, school project crisis (how many Popsicle sticks does a diorama need, anyway?)—and I realized at 6:32 PM we hadn’t started dinner. Enter this mad dash hero: 15 Minute Healthy Roasted Chicken and Veggies. Honestly, it’s been my …
Pork Chops Worth Turning the Oven On For Let’s be honest for a sec, okay? There are days when I want to impress but can’t quite face the idea of a five-step marinade, three sauces, and a pan that’ll take all night to scrub. Enter: oven baked bone-in Pork Chops. My mom made these on …
Oh hey there! Have you ever braved a roasted beef tenderloin for the holidays (or just because you found one on sale and thought, ‘why not?’)? I clearly remember the first Christmas I tried it—everyone hovering in the kitchen, my cousin sneaking pieces of dough as I tried to tie the roast, and that slightly …
The Tale of My (Slightly Chaotic) Fajita Nights So, picture this: it’s 6:20 pm, I’m starving, my phone’s making weird buzzing sounds, and the kids are debating (yet again) whether or not peppers are actual food. That’s when I haul out my trusty old sheet pan—yep, the battered one with burnt cheese scars—because, honestly, there’s …
Let Me Tell You About This Pork Tenderloin Thing… Okay, you know that feeling when you can’t decide what to cook but you want something that looks like you tried a little? That’s how I ended up making pork tenderloin in the oven for the first time—totally on a rainy Tuesday night, couldn’t be bothered …
If You’ve Never Made Smothered Chicken Like This… Okay, I have to admit—my first attempt at Texas Roadhouse Smothered Chicken was born from a bout of hangry (that’s hungry + angry, in case you didn’t know) desperation after a long workday. I’d had the real deal at the actual restaurant a couple of weeks before, …
