Baked Blueberry Lemon French Toast

I’ve made this several times and it is always a huge success – everyone loves it! I double the amount of blueberries and serve it bourbon maple syrup and something savory (bacon or sausage on the side, or a quiche if I have a larger crowd). Someone always asks for the recipe!!!

Steak and Potatoes with 5 Minute Chimichurri Sauce

I followed the recipe to the letter, and it came out perfect! The potatoes were nice and crispy, and I cooked the steak to medium-rare doneness. An effortless chimichurri sauce to make and tasty too!

Salmon with Garlic Cream Sauce

Oh my goodness…how delicious is this?! I used my cast iron pan for both the salmon and the sauce. The salmon was beautiful – crispy on the outside and so moist inside. I doubled the sauce recipe and served it with Greek lemon rice. Restaurant worthy!

Creamy Sausage and Gnocchi

One of my favorite recipes of all time! And as a bonus one of the few 30 minute recipes that actually only take 30 minutes.

My 2 year old also devoured this, spice and all!!!

One Pot Chicken and Mushroom Orzo

My husband and I enjoyed the heck out of this recipe! Don’t over think it; there are lots of ways to tweak and still make it taste perfect. We especially enjoyed the addition of orzo, but I’m sure you can’t go wrong with other ingredients you have on hand.
