The great thing about this dish (besides being low carb) is you can cook it on the stovetop, in the oven, or on the grill.

You have to get the water-pasta ratio right, but besides that, you can’t mess this up. Perfect for an easy weeknight meal or when you’re feeding a crowd.

This risotto with leeks and shiitakes mushrooms is scrumptious. You can serve it as a side, but it stands well on it’s own as the main event. Perfect for a fancy night when you’re feeding a crowd.

The best one-pan chicken ever and I don’t feel cocky saying so because I learned this recipe at a Sur La Table cooking class. This dish is my go-to dish when I want to wow my guests with comfort food.

It doesn’t feel like summer until I’ve made fresh chimichurri with steak on the grill. The sides in this dinner, grilled corn with cilantro lime butter and brown butter plantains, are so tasty they deserve their own post.
