Ingredients

INGREDIENTS

  • 1 lb shrimp, peeled and deveined
  • 1/4 cup fresh lime juice
  • 1/4 cup chopped cilantro
  • 2 cloves garlic, minced
  • 1 teaspoon ground cumin
  • Salt and pepper to taste
  • 8 small corn or flour tortillas
  • 1 cup shredded cabbage
  • 1/2 cup grated carrots
  • 1/4 cup mayonnaise
  • 1 tablespoon lime juice
  • 1 teaspoon sugar
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • Fresh cilantro leaves for garnish

Instructions

  1. In a bowl, combine lime juice, chopped cilantro, minced garlic, ground cumin, salt, and pepper.
  2. Add shrimp to the marinade and let them sit for about 10 minutes.
  3. While the shrimp marinate, prepare the slaw by combining shredded cabbage, grated carrots, mayonnaise, lime juice, sugar, and salt in a separate bowl. Mix well and set aside.
  4. Heat a skillet over medium-high heat. Cook marinated shrimp for 2-3 minutes on each side until they turn pink and are cooked through.

  7. Serve immediately with extra lime wedges on the side. Enjoy!

Notes

Tip: For a more pronounced flavor, refrigerate the shrimp in the marinade for 30 minutes before cooking.

For the slaw, feel free to add other vegetables like bell peppers or red cabbage for extra crunch and color. If you want to make the dish spicy, add finely chopped jalapeños to the shrimp marinade.

These tacos can be served with your choice of corn or flour tortillas; just warm them up before filling. Leftover shrimp can be stored in the fridge for up to two days and served in salads or wraps.

Ingredients

INGREDIENTS

  • 12 oz penne pasta
  • 1 lb chicken breast, diced
  • 1 cup sun-dried tomatoes, chopped
  • 1 cup heavy cream
  • 1 cup grated Parmesan cheese
  • 2 cups spinach, fresh
  • 4 cloves garlic, minced
  • 1 tsp Italian seasoning
  • Salt and pepper to taste
  • Olive oil for cooking

  1. Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).
  2. Cook the penne pasta according to the package instructions until al dente. Drain and set aside.
  3. In a large skillet, heat olive oil over medium heat. Add the diced chicken, season with salt and pepper, and cook until browned and cooked through, about 6-8 minutes.
  4. Add the minced garlic and sun-dried tomatoes to the skillet, sauté for an additional 2-3 minutes until fragrant.
  5. Stir in the heavy cream and Italian seasoning, bringing the mixture to a simmer. Add the fresh spinach and half of the Parmesan cheese, stirring until the spinach wilts.
  6. Combine the cooked pasta with the chicken mixture, mixing well to coat.

  9. Remove from the oven and let cool for a few minutes. Garnish with fresh basil before serving.

Notes

Tip: For a crispier top, broil for an additional 2-3 minutes at the end of baking.

For a healthier twist, try using whole wheat pasta or swapping in zucchini noodles. You can also substitute chicken with cooked sausage or a plant-based protein for a different flavor profile.

Leftovers can be stored in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 3 days. Reheat in the oven for a crispy topping, or in the microwave if you’re short on time.

Ingredients

INGREDIENTS

  • 4 bone-in chicken thighs
  • 1/4 cup honey
  • 1/4 cup balsamic vinegar
  • 2 tablespoons soy sauce
  • 2 cloves garlic, minced
  • 1 teaspoon dried thyme
  • Salt and pepper to taste
  • 2 pounds potatoes, peeled and cubed
  • 4 tablespoons butter
  • 1/2 cup milk
  • 3 cloves garlic, roasted

Instructions

  1. Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C).
  2. In a small bowl, whisk together honey, balsamic vinegar, soy sauce, minced garlic, thyme, salt, and pepper.
  3. Place the chicken thighs in a baking dish and pour the honey-balsamic mixture over them, ensuring they are well-coated.
  4. Bake in the preheated oven for 30-35 minutes, basting with the sauce halfway through, until the chicken reaches an internal temperature of 165°F (74°C).
  5. While the chicken is roasting, boil the potatoes in salted water until tender, about 15-20 minutes.
  6. Drain the potatoes, then return them to the pot. Add butter, milk, and roasted garlic, mashing until smooth and creamy. Season with salt to taste.
  7. Serve the chicken thighs hot, drizzled with the remaining glaze, alongside a generous scoop of garlic mashed potatoes. Enjoy!

Notes

Tip: Let the chicken thighs rest for a few minutes after baking for juicier meat.

To enhance the flavors, let the chicken marinate in the honey-balsamic mixture for at least an hour, or overnight if you have the time. If you prefer boneless chicken thighs, adjust the cooking time accordingly—boneless thighs will cook faster.

For the mashed potatoes, using Yukon Gold or Russet potatoes will yield the best creamy texture. If you want to lighten them up, substitute some of the butter with olive oil. Store any leftovers in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 3 days and reheat gently in the oven or microwave.

Ingredients

INGREDIENTS

  • 12 large Medjool dates
  • 6 slices of bacon, cut in half
  • 2 tablespoons honey
  • 1 tablespoon sriracha
  • 1 teaspoon smoked paprika
  • Salt and pepper to taste
  • Chopped fresh parsley for garnish (optional)

Instructions

  1. Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C).
  2. Slice each date lengthwise and remove the pit carefully, creating a small pocket.
  3. In a small bowl, mix together honey, sriracha, smoked paprika, salt, and pepper to create the glaze.
  4. Stuff each date with a small amount of the honey-sriracha glaze, then wrap it tightly with half a slice of bacon, securing it with a toothpick if necessary.
  5. Place the wrapped dates on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper, making sure they are spaced apart.
  6. Brush the remaining glaze over the bacon-wrapped dates for extra flavor.
  7. Bake in the preheated oven for 15-20 minutes, or until the bacon is crispy and caramelized, turning halfway through for even cooking.

Notes

Storage: Leftovers can be stored in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. Reheat in the oven for best results.

These bacon-wrapped dates can be made ahead of time and stored in the refrigerator before baking. Just pop them in the oven when you’re ready to serve! For extra flavor, consider adding a sprinkle of chopped nuts or fresh herbs before serving.

INGREDIENTS

  • 8 rice paper wrappers
  • 1 cup shredded red cabbage
  • 1 cup shredded carrots

  2. Fill a shallow dish with warm water. Soak one rice paper wrapper in the water for about 10-15 seconds until soft.
  3. Carefully remove the rice paper and place it on a clean surface. In the center, layer a small amount of shredded cabbage, carrots, bell peppers, cucumber, mint, and cilantro.
  4. Fold the sides of the rice paper over the filling, then roll from the bottom up to enclose the filling, forming a tight roll. Repeat with remaining wrappers and fillings.

  6. Serve the spring rolls with the avocado dipping sauce on the side. Enjoy fresh!

Notes

Tip: Feel free to swap in any seasonal vegetables or add protein like shrimp or tofu for a heartier option.

When assembling your spring rolls, make sure to keep the rice paper wrappers damp but not too wet to avoid tearing. You can customize the fillings with your favorite veggies, such as bell peppers, carrots, and cucumbers.

For a protein boost, consider adding shrimp, tofu, or chicken. If you’re preparing these in advance, store the rolls in an airtight container lined with a damp paper towel to keep them fresh. The avocado dipping sauce can also be made ahead of time; just be sure to store it in an airtight container to prevent browning.

Ingredients

INGREDIENTS

  • 1 cup mashed sweet potatoes
  • 1 cup all-purpose flour
  • 1 tablespoon baking powder
  • 1 teaspoon cinnamon
  • 1/2 teaspoon nutmeg
  • 1/4 teaspoon salt
  • 2 large eggs
  • 1 cup milk
  • 1/4 cup melted butter
  • 1/4 cup brown sugar
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract

FOR THE MAPLE PECAN TOPPING

  • 1/2 cup chopped pecans
  • 1/4 cup maple syrup
  • 1 tablespoon butter

FOR THE CINNAMON GLAZE

  • 1 cup powdered sugar
  • 2 tablespoons milk
  • 1/2 teaspoon cinnamon

Instructions

  1. Preheat your waffle iron according to the manufacturer's instructions.
  2. In a large bowl, mix the mashed sweet potatoes, flour, baking powder, cinnamon, nutmeg, and salt.
  3. In another bowl, whisk together the eggs, milk, melted butter, brown sugar, and vanilla extract until smooth.
  4. Combine the wet ingredients with the dry ingredients and stir until just mixed. Do not overmix.
  5. Pour the batter into the preheated waffle iron and cook until golden brown and crispy, about 5-7 minutes per waffle or according to your iron's instructions.
  6. While the waffles are cooking, prepare the maple pecan topping: In a small skillet over medium heat, melt the butter, then add the pecans and maple syrup. Cook for about 3-4 minutes or until the pecans are toasted and fragrant.

Leftover waffles can be stored in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. Reheat them in a toaster or on a skillet for a quick breakfast option. Enjoy your waffles with a dollop of yogurt for added creaminess!
