We are officially entering the season of cozy foods and to me that means more soups, pastas, and stick to your bones kinds of recipes will start to be made in my kitchen and probably in yours too. Skillet meals are something I try to cook a lot of because it always means less clean up for me and honestly, even though I love cooking, I absolutely dread the dishes afterwards. So anytime I can use less dishes to make a meal, then I am all for it. That’s why I decided to create this recipe for easy skillet chicken parmesan that would be a one pan deal that’s easy enough to make on any night of the week.
We only have a few more weeks of summer and I have mixed feelings about it all. I mean let’s be honest, in Texas we have about three more months of summer weather, but with every new season there is a shift. I am hanging on to low key dinner nights, grilling in the backyard, sounds of water splashing in the kiddie pool behind me, and not having too much of an agenda. So that’s what we are going do for these last weeks of summer. Let’s savor it all with a fun twist on a classic recipe that I grew up eating. Low country boils are popular in the south and are typically served up on a warm summer day spread out on newspapers and enjoyed with cold beers. But because not everyone has a ginormous pot hanging around and an outside burner, I am taking those same nostalgic flavors and making them easy enough for anyone to whip up any night of the week. This recipe for low country boil skewers is going to be your new favorite grilling recipe and you are going to love just how easy they are to make.
Salads for dinner are something that we have at our house at least twice a week. I know most people think salads can be a little boring, but I always make it my goal to make them hearty and full of flavor. Lately I have been obsessing over my cobb salad, and recently I have fallen in love again with my crispy baked buffalo chicken salad. This is a salad that I make anytime I get a craving for buffalo anything. It is a healthier meal idea that is super satisfying and can be made quickly any night of the week. This recipe for crispy baked buffalo chicken salad is one that will have you excited for salads at dinnertime over and over again.
Lettuce wraps are one of those things that I love having almost weekly. There are so many possibilities for flavor combinations and I especially love using lettuce wraps with spicy food because of the crisp freshness that the lettuce gives the dish. While you are probably most familiar with Asian Chicken Lettuce wraps, I love using wraps in other recipes as well. Spicy Korean pork is one of those foods that has an undeniable flavor and is actually really easy to create at home too. These delicious grilled spicy Korean pork lettuce wraps are a great weeknight dinner option and will quickly become a favorite dish in your house.
Tacos have a special place in my heart and I’d say we have them at least once a week for breakfast or dinner. I love coming up with new combos that are a little bit unusual. They usually start as an experiment and end up as my new favorite recipe! To me, that’s what cooking is all about. These tacos are extra special thanks to the potatoes getting cooked in the chorizo renderings and a layer of fried cheese (frico) that really takes them to a whole other level! I am telling y’all that these tacos are amazing in every sense. From texture, taste, and beyond you are going to love these sweet potato and chorizo tacos for a new weeknight dinner.
Summertime salads happen at least a couple of times a week at our house because when the weather is this hot outside, turning on the oven just isn’t an option. There is one salad in particular that we have almost weekly and that’s a classic Cobb salad. I have several different versions of Cobb salads that I have shared with you before, but for some reason I have managed to forget to share the one recipe that started them all. There is something so good about the mix of ingredients in a Cobb salad and I love making my homemade ranch dressing to serve with it. This is salad that got my son eating salads again so you know that it is delicious! Today I am sharing the best grilled chicken Cobb salad that you need to add to your weekly dinner rotation as soon as possible.
