Crispy Cranberry Brie Bites

Jenny Park / November 11, 2026

This holiday appetizer is the perfect blend of fuss-free and fancy, taking less than 15 minutes to prepare while looking as festive and beautiful as it is delicious. Creamy Brie and tart cranberry sauce are nestled inside buttery, flaky phyllo dough, baked until golden and melty, then topped with sweet honey and a sprinkle of toasted pecans and fresh thyme. Serve them warm straight from the oven on a holiday platter, and you’ve got a…

Crispy Chicken Thighs (in a Creamy Mushroom Sauce)

Jenny Park / October 18, 2026

I can practically hear the knife cutting through the golden, crackling skin into the juicy, tender meat of a perfectly cooked, crispy chicken thigh. Cue the mouthwatering now. We’ve solved the soggy chicken skin problem by searing our chicken thighs on the stove before nestling them into a pan of creamy mushroom sauce and baking through. This method creates perfectly cooked, crispy chicken thighs every single time. You’ll love the complex, tangy flavor of the…

Pumpkin Risotto with Seared Scallops

Jenny Park / October 5, 2026

We’re all about getting in the spirit of pumpkin season with our Pumpkin Risotto with Seared Scallops. Risotto is one of my favorite foods EVER. I love it so much because it’s easy to make, extra comforting and so tasty. I also love that there are hundreds of flavor variations for risotto, like our pumpkin version today. We topped our pumpkin risotto off with some buttery seared scallops and some simple (and highly addictive) candied…

Pork Tenderloin Sandwich

Jenny Park / September 21, 2026

One of my favorite foods to eat while growing up in the midwest was a Pork Tenderloin Sandwich. I’m not sure why this sandwich isn’t as widely talked about as something like deep dish pizza or Italian beef sandwiches. It totally should be because it’s delicious and always hits the spot. It’s similar to a wiener schnitzel, expect it’s made with a pounded out pork loin instead of veal and sandwiched between two hamburger buns….

Croissant Breakfast Bake (with ham and cheese)

Jenny Park / August 17, 2026

As we know from our fan-favorite sausage and egg breakfast casserole and sausage strata, bread and hash browns are delicious additions to breakfast bakes. They’re easy to add and create a filling, starchy base that’s delicious and satisfying. But when you want a show-stopping breakfast that feels extra special, we’re here to tell you to skip the potatoes and bread and reach for croissants instead. Since croissants are already laminated with layers of butter, they…

Pan Fried Gnocchi (Caprese Style)

Jenny Park / August 16, 2026

The only thing that beats soft, pillowy gnocchi is gnocchi that’s soft and pillowy on the sides, while golden brown and crisp on the outside. With no pot of boiling water required, just a few minutes in a hot skillet gets these potato dumplings perfectly cooked and ready to toss with juicy cherry tomatoes, burrata cheese, basil, and a flavor-packed basil vinaigrette. It’s the same flavor as our caprese gnocchi, but with a simpler cooking…

Homemade Spaghetti-o’s

Jenny Park / August 10, 2026

If you need to get dinner on the table fast and want everyone to be licking their bowls clean, then homemade spaghetti-o’s are the answer. It’s a guaranteed kid-pleaser, but we promise you’ll also love this slightly grown-up version of your childhood favorite. As a one-pot meal, it’s almost as easy as popping open a can, but using real ingredients like tomato sauce, garlic, parmesan cheese, and dried anellini pasta (for classic O’s!) gives it…

Vietnamese Fried Spring Rolls (Chả Giò)

Jenny Park / August 9, 2026

If you’ve ever eaten at a Vietnamese restaurant, you may have shared a plate of Chả Giò. It’s one of the cuisine’s most famous appetizers. There is something so irresistible about crunching your way through a delicately crispy fried pastry wrapper into a warm, earthy, juicy filling. One roll always leaves us wanting more! Like garlic noodles, potstickers, and fresh spring rolls, we had to recreate our favorite Chả Giò. The impossibly thin pastry wrappers…

Tomato Butter Pasta (with Shrimp)

Jenny Park / July 26, 2026

We love a good tomato sauce. Fresh tomato sauce, a bright and peppery Romesco sauce, and ultra-creamy vodka sauce all have a special place at the table. But when we want something that’s deeply rich and decadent, and seriously simple to whip together, we reach for the tomato butter pasta. While many recipes for tomato butter pasta use a pan sauce, we roast cherry tomatoes, garlic, and seasonings until everything is blistered and bursting with flavor. All…

Liege Waffles

Jenny Park / July 19, 2026

Be warned – once you try these Liege waffles, standard waffles will officially be in your past. The caramelized shell, soft and chewy inside, and pockets of crystallized, crunchy sugars make Liege waffles a one-of-a-kind breakfast. Unlike traditional waffle batter, Liege waffles are made with a yeasted dough, giving them a dense, completely irresistible, bread-like chew. Instead of granulated sugar, they use Swedish pearl sugar, which creates crunchy, candy-like pockets in every bite. While we…

Beer Battered Onion Rings

Jenny Park / June 14, 2026

I’m not sure if I know a single person that doesn’t like Beer Battered Onion Rings (same goes for French fries). Seriously though, what isn’t there to enjoy about onion rings? When made well, they’re light, fluffy, crispy, salty, and slightly sweet. Our recipe for Beer Battered Onion Rings is super simple and result in the best tasting, most crispy coated onion rings! Seriously, these are glass shattering onion rings you guys! We use a…

Spanish Churros

Jenny Park / May 31, 2026

During a trip to Spain, I fell in love with the light and crispy texture and barely sweet flavor of Spanish Churros (covered in decadent chocolate sauce, of course!). When I couldn’t find the same texture and flavor anywhere I looked in the States, I recreated the recipe myself. The dough is incredibly simple, made with just flour, baking powder, salt, and boiling water, and once pushed through the churro mold, it fries into beautifully…

Homemade Chocolate Sauce

Jenny Park / May 25, 2026

Our homemade chocolate sauce is ready to drizzle over ice cream, coat fresh fruit, or spread on top of Leige Waffles in less than 15 minutes! With just five ingredients, you’ll have a rich, velvety sauce that’s guaranteed to be better than anything you’ve had from a jar or bottle. The secret is using unsweetened cocoa powder and heavy cream as the base, which creates a sauce that’s intensely chocolatey and silky smooth without any…

The BEST Pasta Salad Recipe

Jenny Park / May 17, 2026

We don’t call this the Best Pasta Salad Recipe lightly. It’s loaded with fresh, zesty flavors, hearty ingredients, and works just as well for lunch meal prep as it does for a summer potluck or picnic. Chilled cavatappi pasta is loaded with salty bites of salami, creamy mozzarella pearls, kidney beans, and briny, juicy bursts from Castelvetrano olives and cherry tomatoes, then tossed in a simple Italian vinaigrette. With just 30 minutes of hands-on time,…

A good dressing can completely change the quality of a meal, and our Italian Vinaigrette makes everything it touches better. Plus, it takes just a handful of staple ingredients, 5 minutes to shake together, and lasts for a week in the refrigerator!

Flautas

Jenny Park / April 12, 2026

Our addictive Chicken Flautas is what you get when you fill a tortilla with cheesy shredded chicken and poblano peppers, roll it up, and fry it until the tortilla is crispy and golden brown and we’re here for it! We seriously can’t get enough of this easy and flavorful Mexican favorite. It’s decadent and simple all in one and a fun way to switch up our favorite taquitos recipe or chipotle chicken nachos. We love…

Cashew Chicken

Jenny Park / April 6, 2026

We love this Cashew Chicken Recipe so much y’all. We have been creating a lot of quick and easy, Chinese-style takeout dishes to make at home lately and this is definitely one of our favorites! It’s been really nice to be able to make simple, flavor packed dinners at home. We love being able to control the amounts of each ingredient we use, making some of our favorite takeout dishes slightly healthier too. Not only…

Tallarines Verde (Peruvian Green Spaghetti)

Jenny Park / April 5, 2026

If you’re looking for a flavorful alternative to pesto pasta, Tallarines Verde is exactly what you need. This dish literally translates to “green noodles” and gives traditional pesto pasta a Peruvian spin, turning simple ingredients like basil, spinach, walnuts, queso fresco, and evaporated milk into a restaurant-quality, refreshingly light sauce. While the emerald green hue is show-stopping all on its own, you’ll love the balance of rich creaminess and fresh herbs in every bite. It’s…

Panko-Crusted Lamb Chops Recipe

Jenny Park / March 30, 2026

I couldn’t be more excited about our parmesan and Panko-Crusted Lamb Chops Recipe! This recipe is DELICIOUS and so easy to make. These lamb chops make a great main dish, but I also LOVE serving it as a hand held appetizer! I also love these panko-crusted lamb chops because they come together from start to finish in under 30 minutes! This means you can make these even on a busy weeknight! The parmesan and panko…

Breakfast Casserole

Jenny Park / December 7, 2025

I love breakfast foods so much and this Breakfast Casserole is very high on my list of favorites. I love our easy breakfast casserole recipe for so many reasons – it takes almost no time to put together, it can feed a crowd (hello Christmas morning breakfast idea!), it can easily be scaled up or down (or just make the recipe as is and have leftovers, which are delicious) and the flavor is incredible! It’s…

Sticky Toffee Pudding

Jenny Park / December 1, 2025

English Sticky Toffee Pudding is one of my top 3 favorite desserts of all time. I don’t think it gets enough love in the states and I wish that would change! I love it so much and this recipe is SO GOOD. It’s fluffy, moist and rich; plus the toffee sauce just takes it over the top. The lightly sweetened whipped cream adds a nice balance to the decadent pudding. Our sticky toffee pudding recipe…
