Potatoes have so much potential for delicious flavor, and these Rosemary & Chili Smashed Potatoes are no exception. These are basically a hybrid version of a moist (trigger word, sorry) boiled […]

Roasted Butternut Squash with Rosemary & Sage | Chris Cooks
Squash is nobody's favorite food. Maybe a baby's? But when it comes to adult foods, squash doesn't fall at the top of the favorite food list. That being said, I think squash is a very underrated food that doesn't get enough hype. Consider this my attempt to hype up some hearty, yummy, roasted butternut squash. […]

Roasted Beets You'll Wanna Eats | Chris Cooks

Anchovies get a bad reputation. I blame the 90s Ninja Turtles movies, but whatever the reason it is unjustified. Just because they're fish, doesn't mean that what you add them to will taste like fish. They are a seasoning, like garlic powder. If treated right, they add depth to a dish without drawing attention to […]
