BBQ Chicken Pizza
As you know, I’m a massive fan of any pizza recipe. While it’s not “authentic” by any means, BBQ chicken pizza is a classic fusion twist on pizza. My version is reminiscent of the CPK signature BBQ chicken pizza, with mozzarella, smoked gouda, red onion, cilantro, and, of course, saucy BBQ chicken.
One-Pan Chicken Thighs with Creamy, Herby Rice
These savory chicken thighs with creamy, herby and lemony rice recipe is not only easy to follow but a fun one to cook at that. You’ll love throwing this one together and just how easily this will level up your weeknight cooking game!
Easy Cheesy Skillet Caprese Baked Gnocchi
The last thing we all need for these busy times is a recipe that’s laborious, no matter how delicious. From start to finish, this recipe took about 40 minutes and most of that time is just oven time where the gnocchi sizzles away to bubbly, golden brown, cheesy perfection.
Spicy Italian Pizza Pie
When a pizza craving hits, I usually want something classic. And classic pizza for me means something meaty, cheesy and spicy. Enter my spicy Italian pie with mozzarella, ricotta, sweet Italian sausage and spicy pickled peppers for a perfect pizza pie bite.
Gochujang Browned Butter Brussels Sprouts
If you’re a fan of tasty, non-boring veggies, than this recipe has your name written all over it. I’m already a huge fan of roasted, crispy brussels sprouts that practically taste like candy from natural caramelization alone. Too good!
Peach, Pesto, and Burrata Flatbread
I can’t think of a recipe to make to say “goodbye” to summer than these peach, pesto, and burrata flatbreads. We’re talking juicy peaches, savory pesto, creamy burrata, peppery arugula, a squeeze of lemon, and a drizzle of honey to make for the ultimate sweet/savory combination.
Chicken Satay with Peanut Sauce
This recipe is ALL about the creamy, dreamy peanut sauce! This peanut sauce is so delectable, you could practically eat it with a spoon (not judging). But it’s also perfect for drizzling and/or dunking your chicken or even on a side of rice.
Chorizo Potato Tacos with Avocado Tomatillo Salsa
Arguably my favorite part of this recipe is the avocado tomatillo salsa. Just look at that gorgeous pop of green! It’s creamy, zesty and just slightly spicy and a perfect compliment to the savory and rich taco filling.
Summer Market Salad
Bright, fresh and full of texture, this summer market salad features lettuce, green beans, corn, feta, crushed pita chips and a za’tar, lemon vinaigrette. Summer in a bite!
Spicy Hawaiian Hot Dogs
In true Hawaiian food flavor profile fashion, it hits on sweet, savory and spicy notes for the all around perfect bite. Your summer just won’t be complete without adding these to your next BBQ spread!
Miso Ginger Cedar Plank Salmon
The combo of the perfect marinade, buttery salmon and a cedar plank, smoky kiss on the grill is pure perfection. Savory, sweet, tangy and buttery, it hits all the right notes on your palette. This true PNW recipe is one you’ll be making year over year.
Blistered Shishito Peppers with Dijon Mayo
A quick sauté in a hot pan with good olive oil, salt and pepper, and a squeeze of fresh lemon juice, then these babies are done and ready for snacking. I serve them up with my favorite, 3-ingredient sauce I’ve been whipping up for years. Mayo, Dijon and grated Parmesan create the perfect, creamy and tangy sauce for dipping.
Tortellini with Pesto, Peas and Crispy Prosciutto
I love the addition of peas in this creamy, herby and garlicky pasta for that burst of green color and nutrients, of course. But really, this recipe is all about the crispy prosciutto! An already perfectly tasty pesto pasta gets amped up to an 11 with crispy, salty, meat condiments on top.
Garlicky Roasted Tomatoes with Burrata
These jammy and garlicky tomatoes would be good alone or spread on crusty bread, but of course we’re talking indulgence here with this recipe. Freshly chopped basil, creamy, dreamy burrata and garlicky crostini turn these perfect tomatoes into a show-stopping dish.
White Pizza with Lemony Arugula
Perfect for entertaining and making an impressive pizza statement, these white pizzas feature a garlic and herb pizza crust, “good” olive oil, shredded mozzarella and creamy goat cheese for a pizza base that would honestly be perfect as is. But my favorite part of this pizza is the topping of a simple, lemon, olive oil and sea salt dressed arugula salad.
Pork Chile Verde
Big surprise, I use my Instant Pot to make this pork chile verde. The result is the most tender, juicy pork morsels you’ll ever taste, braised in a most flavorful, spicy verde sauce and done in just a fraction of the time in the pressure cooker.
Vietnamese Grilled Wings
I love Vietnamese-inspired chicken wings so much because of the umami boosters like fish sauce, lemongrass, lots of garlic and lime juice. The kiss of char these bad boys get on the grill just gives them that extra savory punch.
Margherita Pizza Grilled Cheese
All combined, this melty, cheesy sandwich makes for a toasty, crunchy grilled cheese that’s reminiscent of a classic Margherita pizza. It’s simple yet elevated and sure to satisfy your grilled cheese cravings.
Quinoa Salad with Grilled Corn, Tomatoes and Avocado
This salad serves as both a healthy carb and veggie-packed side dish. With sweet, grilled corn, burst cherry tomatoes, lots of fresh herbs, creamy avocado and a zesty, lime vinaigrette, this salad screams summer.
Instant Pot Quesabirria Tacos
Quesabirria tacos are so hot right now! The Instant Pot is not only key to making the most succulent, flavorful beef you’ve ever tasted, but the consommé or leftover braising liquid for taco dunking.
