It’s a new BIG bowl salad, friends!! And this one makes my mouth water every time I think about it. Nutty and crunchy and fresh and filling, layered with golden brown roasted chicken (spatchcock-style!! It cooks in 45 minutes with gloriously juicy meat and crispy skin) and fried shallots. Inspired by my memories of the Roasted Chicken Salad at the Faena Miami Hotel, let’s get in the kitchen and go on vacation!
Dear Air Fryer, where have you been all my life? If I told you chicken breast and Brussels sprouts could be this juicy, this tender, this crisp, this succulent, this indulgent, this consistently perfect time after time and this easily made, you would immediately say NO WAY!!! But it’s true. Oh, and there’s also the vinegary shallot butter of my dreams. You’re welcome.
One of the simplest, most elegant, deliciously indulgent and ultra-comforting classic spaghetti preparations – Cacio e Pepe! Aka Cheese & Pepper! The sauce is cheesy (pecorino & parmesan, to be exact), silky, velvety, slightly spicy… think grown up mac n’ cheese – but in a little black (pepper) dress. Please do yourself a favor and get some pasta and cheese, crack that pepper, and make this tonight!
This is one of my all-time favorite meals that takes me right back to visiting my family in Turkey. On hot afternoons, we’ll turn on the grill and turn out dozens of these juicy, tender, perfectly charred and gently spiced köfte burgers, paired with a giant bowl of fresh, herby, crisp Greek salad. An easy and delicious way to feed a crowd (or party of 1!), this meal is the perfect balance of something filling and flavorful, but still light enough to eat while soaking up the summer sun. Add your icy cold beverage of choice and enjoy a little slice of Mediterranean heaven.
This is a great quick weeknight dinner or weekend meal when the whole family needs to eat quickly! The salty, crunchy bits of bacon flavor the entire bowl, with little dollops of creamy ricotta melting throughout. I especially love to make this in spring when the peas are tender and fresh, but it’s equally satisfying with frozen peas for a warm and filling bowl. The beans hide amongst the pasta for a nice little healthy addition, too!
This recipe is a fun flip on a traditional lobster roll – reimagined as a lobster salad and brioche croutons served in lettuce cups. Perfect for individual bites or as a beautiful platter, I hope you enjoy it as much as I do!
We’re making such a simple and glorious summer lunch today – gazpacho! I love a raw soup served cold on hot summer days, and even better when it’s as easy as this one. I’ve added watermelon to the mix with sun-ripened tomatoes, which gives it an extra burst of sweetness and hydration, plus tons of cucumbers, and a little pop of jalapeño! This recipe is great if you want to make it a day ahead and let the flavors meld overnight in the fridge.
Slow simmered meat and veg, topped with creamy clouds of mashed parsnips instead of traditional potatoes, this Shepard’s Pie is easy, versatile, and will scratch that winter comfort food itch in all the best ways!!
PS. I went to a dinner party years ago where this was the main dish and was the biggest hit — it remains one of my favorite meals that is casual as they come but still eats like a celebration.✨
This preparation was inspired by a TikTok video I have not been able to find since I first saw it, and it looked so good I was forced to order an Air Fryer on the spot so I could make THIS: perfectly tender salmon with the crispiest skin and the sticky-spicy glaze of everyone’s dreams in 10 minutes flat.
I added sushi rice, a delectable creamy-salty-spicy mayo (good with chicken too!), and plenty of chopped fresh crunchy veg to round it out.
Minced ruby red roasted beets float atop whipped clouds of caramelized garlic and goat cheese on a crisp, crunchy toast. YUM.
