This recipe was a variation on the one from Family Food On the Table. We added tomatoes at the end. I like making it in the instant pot because I can sauté and slow cook in the same dish. We had it with bowtie pasta but it would also work...

This recipe was a variation on the one from Simply Recipes. I made it in a large dutch oven and adjusted the ingredients slightly. We were very happy with how it came out. It’s not a hard recipe but it does take some time, particularly getting all the ingredients cut...

This is a recipe from Instagram advertised as a good option for meal prep. You can adjust the amount of sriracha in the Yum Yum Sauce to control the spice level. I halved the spice in the sauce from the original recipe since it packs some heat, but when the...

This was inspired by the “Brown Sage-Butter Chicken Pot Pie” from page 173 of the Half Baked Harvest Super Simple Cookbook. It’s perfect to pair in a meal plan with Rotisserie Chicken Bone Broth to get the richest broth flavors. I’d also like to compare it with Tieghan’s Skillet Chicken...

This recipe comes from Antoni Porowski in Queer Eye Season 9 episode 4 “The Snack Attack is Back” (around the 22 minute mark). The name is French for “baked in parchment” and it uses the paper to seal in moisture and steam the fish. Don’t skimp on the toppings either...
