Green beans are perfectly respectable on their own. But toss them with fresh garlic and Parmesan and roast them until the edges get blistered and crispy? Now we’re interested! 😉
These Garlic Parmesan Roasted Green Beans take about five minutes to throw together and 15-ish minutes in the oven. No boiling. No blanching. No ice bath.
We’re making a vegetable, not preparing it for surgery…;)
Regular mashed potatoes are already pretty fabulous, so naturally we’re going to mess with them 😉
These Brown Butter Parmesan Mashed Potatoes take everything we love about classic creamy mashed potatoes and add nutty brown butter, freshly grated Parmesan and just enough garlic to make everyone wonder why the potatoes are suddenly the best thing on the plate. Browning the butter takes about five extra minutes, which is dangerously close to effort around here, but the payoff is absolutely worth it!
Hot honey salmon is what happens when a perfectly respectable salmon dinner gets a little more interesting! Flaky salmon gets covered in a sticky, sweet-and-spicy glaze with garlic, Dijon and lemon, then baked until the edges get beautifully caramelized.
It looks suspiciously impressive for something requiring about five minutes of actual effort. And yes, we’re using store-bought hot honey. We have absolutely nothing to prove here 😉
Hot honey baked Brie is one of those fabulous appetizers that looks like you did something when you absolutely did not. Warm, melty Brie gets covered in spicy-sweet honey, toasted pecans and rosemary, and somehow putting the whole thing on a pretty plate with crackers makes it look like we have our lives extremely together.
This easy chicken tortellini soup is loaded with juicy chicken thighs, cheesy tortellini, vegetables and spinach in a savory garlic-Parmesan broth. It’s cozy and filling without being ridiculously heavy, takes about 30 minutes and only dirties one pot. Which already makes it an overachiever..;)
Dry chicken is completely avoidable! Here’s how to keep chicken juicy and tender, whether you’re cooking breasts or thighs, with a few ridiculously simple tricks that make all the difference.
These honey garlic pork chops are juicy, golden and covered in a sticky, buttery honey garlic sauce that tastes considerably more ambitious than the 25-ish minutes you actually spent making it. A little Dijon and apple cider vinegar keep the honey from wandering into pancake territory, while six cloves of garlic make sure nobody mistakes this for a timid pork chop.
This salted caramel apple crisp is loaded with tender cinnamon apples, ribbons of gooey caramel and a buttery brown sugar oat topping that gets gloriously golden and crunchy in the oven. It’s basically apple pie for people who don’t have the time or emotional bandwidth to negotiate with pie crust. Add vanilla ice cream while it’s still warm and suddenly fall seems like an excellent idea.
This loaded baked potato soup has everything fabulous about a loaded baked potato crammed into one ridiculously creamy bowl: tender potatoes, crispy bacon, sharp cheddar, sour cream and green onions. And despite the name, we’re not actually baking a damn thing first. Because spending an hour baking potatoes before making soup with them feels like an unnecessary administrative step.
This easy beef stroganoff has tender strips of beef, golden mushrooms and egg noodles swimming in a rich, creamy sauce, all made in one pan. The noodles cook right in the beef broth, the sour cream goes in at the end, and the whole thing tastes like you spent considerably more time on dinner than you did. Our favorite kind of kitchen trick..;)
