Quick and delicious weeknight meals
No Valentine’s Day dinner out for us (like everyone else!) this year. I decided to make my love a steakhouse dinner at home. I ordered some beautiful filet mignons from Snake River Farms. They have really amazing Wagyu beef and Kurobuta pork. I’ve been following …
Note: this is not a weekday dish unless you make on a Sunday and serve the next day. I love short ribs and as I mention in this early post of mine I remember the first time I ordered them at a restaurant — my …
We travel from the Korean Peninsula the other night to South America with last night’s Colombian steak recipe from Skinnytaste. I’ve made a ton of recipes from Skinnytaste over the past year. In general, they are quite easy, quick, and on the healthier side without …
