Chris Cooks: Seafood Bake with Avocado Butter Sauce

If you're familiar with what a clam bake is, don't compare this to that. This is closer to a low country seafood boil, but is done with vegetables, wrapped in tin foil and baked in the oven. And yes, it's keto-friendly and super yummy. Though I use snow crab legs, you could use clams instead, […]

Last week, I added a few new save and splurge items to my skincare routine I wanted to share. A couple months ago, I tried Lancome's micellar water as a makeup remover/toner. It worked well, but it was also $40 and I didn't feel like it was that good. So when it ran out I was looking […]

Salmon with Lemon Pepper Sauce

Lemon pepper salmon is a pretty common dish, though it usually refers to salmon sprinkled with a premade lemon pepper seasoning. Though I've had my share of that version, and don't mind it at all, this is the version I prefer. A perfectly cooked salmon portion, with a sauce of cream, roasted peppers, and lemon […]

Chris Cooks: Grilled Steak Tacos

Steak tacos, but perhaps in a way you haven't had them before. This is a quick, veto-friendly meal (when using lettuce as opposed to tortillas) that will be perfect for dinner with family or friends. If you don't have a grill, try using a grill pan on your stove top instead. You'll be surprised at […]

Chris Cooks: Garlic & Herb Pork Tenderloin with a Warm Potato Salad

I'm not a fan of what most people think of when they hear the words, "potato salad." Cold potatoes just aren't my thing. But this warm version is easy and packed with flavor. Served with a simple grilled tenderloin rubbed with herbs and garlic, it's all perfect. This is a grilled recipe, but the pork […]
