Salmon doesn't get any easier than this. Seasoned with lemon juice, dill and garlic, this juicy, tender, baked lemon dill salmon is bursting with tangy, fresh flavor and is a great recipe for spring and summer.
Perfectly hard boiled eggs are hard to beat. (Pun intended!) They’re incredibly versatile - great for a small and healthy breakfast or snack, and can be used as a base for various appetizers. Keep reading to find out how to quickly make perfect hard boiled eggs every time!
If there's one dish that Chris and I love to make together, it's this Udon and Steak Noodle Bowl. The inspiration for this dish came when Chris described a dish that he had when he was younger. Based on what he could remember about the ingredients and flavors, we set out to re-create the dish. This meal hits all the bold flavors you could crave in a weeknight meal and has since become a part of our meal rotation. A bed of udon noodles drizzled in sweet and tangy sauce cradles fresh arugula and crisp bean sprouts, while tender, perfectly seasoned, juicy steak tops it off.
There's nothing that quite hits the spot in the mornings like an omelette. This ham, cheese, and arugula omelette is full of protein from the eggs and ham and is so quick and easy, so you don’t have to wait a long time for your breakfast! Since omelettes are so versatile, you could use any veggie you'd like and even swap out the meat with tofu.
This isn't your ordinary mac and cheese. It's still the unapologetically cheesy, carby deliciousness that you know and love, but combined with the hearty spiciness of chili. If you like chili, and you like mac and cheese, you'll go crazy for this chili mac and cheese.
This lemon, asparagus, and chicken pasta is perfect for a busy weeknight meal. Made with tender asparagus and juicy chicken, it's a quick and easy dish that is bursting with bright and fresh spring flavors.
Did you know that you can cook a potato in the microwave? My boyfriend showed me this and it blew my mind. This "recipe" errs on the side of "life hack" rather than an actual recipe. If you're in the mood for a baked potato, you could spend 15 minutes preheating the oven, and another hour baking it. But if you don't have the time to bake the potato in the oven, you can quickly throw it in the microwave and get the same slow baked results!
This recipe is the result of my boyfriend taking one of my recipes and making it even better. Like the original recipe, this recipe is quick and easy and comes together in just under 30 minutes. This recipe uses Pad Thai noodles, eggs, and chicken as its primary ingredients, and is flavored with the original tangy Pad Thai sauce and creamy peanut buttery goodness. The noodles soak up the sauce so well in this recipe that you won't be able to not ask for seconds!
Cilantro and lime is a classic duo that I personally just can't get enough of. This creamy cilantro lime chicken pasta is extremely easy to make and requires minimal preparation. All you need is aromatic cilantro, fresh lime juice, and garlic to bring out the flavors of the chicken.
Lemongrass pork chops are a fundamental dish in many Vietnamese restaurants. Lemongrass is a great herb to marinate meats with. It gives the meat a hint of lemon and mint. This particular recipe tastes like you spent hours, but in reality, you only have about 10 minutes of active preparation.
My boyfriend woke up today and decided he was going to make soup. If you know me, you know that I love soups, so naturally, I was very excited for this. I'd like to note that this is one of his first soup endeavors, so anything could happen. The result - a rich coconut lemongrass chicken noodle soup that's the perfect combination of sweet and savory, with hints of lemongrass.
Pad Thai is a noodle dish originating from Thailand. In Vietnamese, this dish is called Hu Tieu Xao (Stir-Fried Noodle Dish). This is a flavorful Pad Thai recipe that anyone can make. It's quick and easy and comes together in just under 30 minutes. This recipe uses Pad Thai noodles, eggs, and chicken as its primary ingredients, and is flavored with a deliciously tangy Pad Thai sauce made of fish sauce, rice vinegar, soy sauce, brown sugar, lime, and sriracha.
