Watercress Chimichurri: Chris Cooks

Chris Cooks: Watercress Chimichurri

So many diets out there, it's so nice when you come across something that is safe for just about all of them. Chimichurri is one such thing. Chimichurri is a condiment made with fresh herbs, garlic, and olive oil (and a few other things) that is amazing on meats and vegetables alike. I add fresh […]

Over the years, I've shared all my feast-level Thanksgiving recipes. Those are still available and never changing because they'll taste as good this year as they have the last seven years. But in case you're keeping your group small, I wanted to share something a little different for this year. An entire Thanksgiving dinner, in […]

Grain & Dairy Free Peach Cobbler

Peaches are my favorite fruit. Hands down. And not in a "I'm saying it's my favorite because that's what this post is about" way. Literally - favorite fruit. And over the years I've fostered this love every fall by buying boxes of peaches, freezing them, and using them all within a month on making peach […]

27 Meals For Staying Home

It's a stressful time. For everyone. Stress leads to stress eating. Which, at least for me, usually centers on foods high in carbs and low in nutrition. And that wouldn't be so bad if it weren't arguably more important than ever to have your immune system firing on all cylinders. Below we share 27 recipes […]

Eggs & Asparagus

Traditional American breakfast is a bit sticky for me. On the one hand, I love me some bacon, eggs, hash browns, and pancakes. Other the other hand, feeling like you need a nap at 10am isn't the best way to stay productive through your day. I've found that, if I'm going to eat breakfast, small […]

Amazing Allergy-Friendly Thanksgiving Stuffing (gluten-free, grain-free, dairy-free, egg-free)

I'm just gonna put it out there that I make the best Thanksgiving dressing (stuffing) I've ever had. It's a cornbread dressing, and man it's good. But as we've added more and more diet restrictions to various members of our family, I've been trying to find a way to get all that same comfort and […]

Arugula & Prosciutto Salad with Apple Cider Vinaigrette

Arugula & Prosciutto Salad with Apple Cider Vinaigrette

Is there anything more "fall" than the taste and smell of mulling spices? But with nearly a month still to go, I can't move away from all this fresh produce yet. This salad is fresh and flavorful, perfectly walking a tightrope between the seasons. It only takes a few minutes to prepare and would be […]

Keto Salmon with Lemon Pepper Sauce

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 […]

4 Courses to Love - Pork Tenderloin and Asparagus Over Dijon Potato Puree w/Pomegranate + Balsamic Reduction

I'm not sure if it's the same for you, but whenever I think "special occasion," filet mignon jumps out at me. And of course, there's good reason for that. Filet mignon comes from a part of the back that cows don't strain too much. Muscles that a cow uses a lot will be tougher, as […]

Roasted Sweet Potatoes with Maple and Bacon Vinaigrette

I've never cared much for sweet potatoes, as historically prepared on Thanksgiving (marshmallows and all). I think my beef is that they are often overcooked to the point of mush, and lacking in the flavor department. And adding marshmallows, for me, only enhances the mushy mouthfeel. It's like I'm eating baby food, and I've always […]

Homemade Cranberry Sauce Worth Serving

Perhaps one of the least heralded parts of the Thanksgiving spread is the cranberry sauce. There it sits on a plate, in the middle of the table, oftentimes still retaining the shape of the can it was extracted from. Dinner ends, and it's still there. Maybe someone cut a piece out of the corner, but […]
