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 […]
