Ingredients

INGREDIENTS

  • 4 cups green cabbage, shredded
  • 1 cup carrots, grated
  • 1 bell pepper, julienned
  • 1 cup green onions, sliced
  • 1/2 cup fresh cilantro, chopped
  • 1 cup crispy chow mein noodles
  • 1/3 cup creamy peanut butter
  • 2 tablespoons soy sauce
  • 2 tablespoons honey
  • 1 tablespoon rice vinegar
  • 1 tablespoon lime juice
  • 1 teaspoon sesame oil
  • Salt and pepper to taste

Instructions

  1. In a large mixing bowl, combine shredded cabbage, grated carrots, julienned bell pepper, sliced green onions, and chopped cilantro.
  2. In a small bowl, whisk together peanut butter, soy sauce, honey, rice vinegar, lime juice, and sesame oil until smooth.
  3. Pour the dressing over the slaw mixture and toss until everything is well coated. Season with salt and pepper to taste.
  4. Just before serving, top the slaw with crispy chow mein noodles for added crunch.
  5. Serve immediately and enjoy the vibrant flavors!

Notes

Tip: For a vegetarian version, replace honey with maple syrup, and adjust the seasoning to your preference.

For an extra kick, consider adding some sliced jalapeños or a dash of sriracha to the peanut dressing. If you’re looking for a gluten-free option, use rice noodles or a gluten-free soy sauce. This slaw can be made ahead of time; however, keep the noodles separate until just before serving to maintain their crunch.

Leftovers can be stored in an airtight container in the fridge for up to two days, but the noodles may lose their crispiness over time.

This dish brings together perfectly seasoned chicken, with a golden brown crust that crunches audibly with each bite, and a luscious polenta that is infused with the rich flavor of roasted garlic.

Ingredients

INGREDIENTS

  • 4 bone-in, skin-on chicken thighs
  • 2 tablespoons olive oil
  • 1 teaspoon garlic powder
  • 1 teaspoon onion powder
  • 1 teaspoon dried oregano
  • 1 teaspoon dried thyme
  • 1 teaspoon paprika
  • Salt and pepper to taste
  • 1 cup polenta
  • 4 cups chicken broth
  • 1 head of garlic, roasted
  • 1/2 cup grated Parmesan cheese
  • 2 tablespoons butter
  • Fresh herbs for garnish

Instructions

  1. Preheat your oven to 425°F (220°C).
  2. In a small bowl, mix together garlic powder, onion powder, oregano, thyme, paprika, salt, and pepper.
  3. Rub the chicken thighs with olive oil and then generously coat them with the herb mixture.
  4. Place the chicken thighs skin-side up on a baking sheet and roast in the oven for 35-40 minutes, or until the skin is crispy and the internal temperature reaches 165°F (74°C).
  5. While the chicken is roasting, bring the chicken broth to a boil in a medium saucepan.
  6. Gradually whisk in the polenta, reducing the heat to low and stirring continuously until thickened, about 5 minutes.
  7. Incorporate the roasted garlic, Parmesan cheese, and butter into the polenta, mixing until creamy and well combined.

Notes

Tip: For a deeper garlic flavor, roast the garlic in advance or add more cloves to the polenta during cooking.

For extra flavor, marinate the chicken thighs for a few hours or overnight. You can also experiment with different herbs like rosemary or thyme based on your preference.

If you don’t have polenta, feel free to substitute with mashed potatoes or creamy risotto for a similar texture. Store any leftovers in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 3 days. Reheat the chicken in the oven to maintain its crispiness.

Ingredients

INGREDIENTS

  • 1 medium head cauliflower, cut into bite-sized florets
  • 1 cup all-purpose flour
  • 1 cup water
  • 1 teaspoon garlic powder
  • 1 teaspoon onion powder
  • 1 teaspoon paprika
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 1/2 teaspoon pepper
  • 1 cup buffalo sauce
  • 1/2 cup ranch dressing
  • 1 tablespoon chopped fresh parsley for garnish

Instructions

  1. Preheat your oven to 450°F (232°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
  2. In a mixing bowl, whisk together flour, water, garlic powder, onion powder, paprika, salt, and pepper until smooth.
  3. Dip each cauliflower floret into the batter, allowing the excess to drip off, then place on the prepared baking sheet.
  4. Bake for 20 minutes, flipping halfway through, until the cauliflower is golden and crispy.
  5. Remove from the oven and toss the baked cauliflower in buffalo sauce until evenly coated.
  6. Return the coated cauliflower to the baking sheet and bake for an additional 5 minutes to set the sauce.

Notes

Tip: For a vegan alternative, use a plant-based flour and a dairy-free ranch dressing!

Store any leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator. To reheat, simply pop them back in the oven for a few minutes to regain their crispiness. Serve with extra ranch for dipping!

Ingredients

INGREDIENTS

  • 1 lb fresh chorizo, casings removed
  • 2 medium potatoes, diced
  • 1 red bell pepper, diced
  • 1 green bell pepper, diced
  • 1 small onion, diced

Ingredients

INGREDIENTS

  • 1 cup rolled oats
  • 1 ripe banana, mashed
  • 1 cup milk (or dairy-free alternative)
  • 1 egg
  • 1 tablespoon honey or maple syrup
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 1 teaspoon baking powder

Instructions

  1. In a large bowl, combine the rolled oats, baking powder, cinnamon, and salt.
  2. In another bowl, whisk together the mashed banana, milk, egg, honey, and vanilla extract until smooth.
  3. Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients and stir gently until just combined; avoid over-mixing.
  4. Heat a non-stick skillet or griddle over medium heat and grease lightly with butter or oil.
  5. Pour 1/4 cup of batter onto the skillet for each pancake. Cook until bubbles form on the surface, then flip and cook until golden brown on the other side.
  6. Repeat with the remaining batter, adjusting the heat as necessary to prevent burning.
  7. Stack the pancakes on a plate and serve warm with your favorite toppings like fresh fruit, yogurt, or syrup.

Notes

Tip: For extra flavor, try adding chopped nuts or dark chocolate chips to the batter before cooking.

To ensure perfectly fluffy pancakes, avoid over-mixing the batter; a few lumps are okay! If you want to make them vegan, substitute the egg with a flax egg or a mashed banana. You can also add a handful of nuts or chocolate chips to the batter for extra flavor.

For storage, keep leftover pancakes in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 3 days. Reheat in the toaster or microwave before serving. These pancakes also freeze well, so feel free to double the batch for an easy breakfast option later!

Ingredients

INGREDIENTS

  • 2 large eggs
  • 1 ripe avocado
  • 4 slices of bread (sourdough or whole grain)
  • 1/4 cup fresh herbs (parsley, chives, dill)
  • 1/2 teaspoon garlic powder
  • Salt and pepper to taste
  • Olive oil for drizzling

Instructions

  1. Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).
  2. In a bowl, mix the chopped fresh herbs with garlic powder, salt, and pepper to create the herb crust.
  3. Toast the slices of bread until golden brown and crispy.
  4. While the bread is toasting, heat a small amount of olive oil in a skillet over medium heat.
  5. Crack the eggs into the skillet and cook them sunny-side up or to your desired doneness.
  6. Once the eggs are almost done, sprinkle the herb mixture over the top of each egg and let it cook for an additional minute to crisp up the herbs.
  7. Mash the ripe avocado in a bowl and season with salt and pepper to taste.
  8. Spread the mashed avocado generously over the toasted bread slices.
  9. Top each slice with a herb-crusted egg, and drizzle with a little olive oil if desired.

Notes

Tip: Adjust the herbs based on your preference; others like thyme or basil can also work well!

For the best results, use fresh herbs like parsley, chives, or dill for the herb crust. Feel free to experiment with different breads; sourdough or whole grain adds a nice texture. If you’re short on time, you can use pre-made herb seasoning.

Store any leftover herb crust in an airtight container for up to a week. Reheat your toast in a toaster or pan for a crispy finish, and add toppings like feta cheese or cherry tomatoes for extra flavor!
