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.

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!

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.

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.

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.

Earthy, bitter kale, fluffy and protein-packed quinoa and spicy roasted sweet potatoes get dialed up to an 11 with the addition of a zippy, creamy tahini dressing, crunchy sunflower seeds, red onion and fresh parsley. Did I mention this recipe is vegan, vegetarian, gluten-free AND dairy-free?!

Call it “Mexican chicken noodle” soup, if you will. Instead of noodles, this flavorful and spicy chicken soup is laced with waxy, hearty hominy - a cousin of the corn family. Spicy, bold and zesty, it’s absolutely perfect for cold fall and winter evenings!

This soup is easy to throw together and can be made vegan if you’re using veggie stock! Pair it with some garlic bread or even a “cheese toasty” as the Brits would day, and it’s sure to bring comfort during this season.

What makes this recipe so stinking good isn’t just the harissa, but added simple ingredients of garlic, extra virgin olive oil, lemon, good sea salt and parsley. Cooked low and slow, the salmon stays perfectly moist under a bed of oily, fragrant harissa oil.

Whenever I can get my hands on some pork tenderloin, I know I’m making this easy yet incredibly flavorful pork tenderloin marinade.

This salmon recipe is all about the compote! The compote takes its sweet time to roast and become jammy perfection in the oven. Prepared with just a few simple ingredients and one “secret” ingredient for a subtle yet warming spicy kick.

This tomato, avocado and arugula salad is a prime example of why simple food is sometimes the best food. Using some perfectly ripe heirloom cherry tomatoes, avocado and, my favorite, peppery arugula, this salad is accentuated with bright notes of lemon, olive oil and good flaky sea salt to perfectly highlight the season’s best.

There’s no debate: garlic fries are essential to watching a ball game! Using just a good’ ol bag of frozen crinkle cut fries doctored up with lots of fresh garlic, parsley and seasoning salt, you too can enjoy garlic fries and root on your team from the comfort of your own home!

Inspired by our favorite curry in Seattle, this Trinidadian curry is spicy, warm and comforting. Forewarning: this curry packs a serious heat punch! That being said, even though there’s a whole habanero not messing around in there, the curry manages to stay flavorful and actually not destroy your taste buds. Trust me on this!

I am obsessed over this new cocktail hour stunner. Perfect for a hot, summer day and getting your happy hour on in festive fashion, these salted watermelon margaritas are as cool and refreshing as can be.

My tried and true blasted broccoli is perfect as is, but when I tested out a new umami-forward combo, it truly rocked my world. Instead of dressing with olive oil, salt, pepper and red pepper flakes, I jazz up my broccoli with two umami flavor boosters: soy sauce and fish sauce.

While most ceviche utilizes raw shrimp that “cooks” in citrus juice, I actually prefer to flash poach my shrimp to ensure it’s cooked fully. Then it’s loaded with three types of citrus, cilantro, red onion, tomato jalapeño and, last but not least, cool cucumber and creamy avocado.

This recipe is living proof that sometimes seasonal and simple is the only way to go. The key to ensuring perfectly cooked yet not slimy or soggy zucchini in the slightest is actually tossing the zucchini straight on your heat source sans seasonings or oil.

I’m a huge fan of this corn salad because it’s so refreshingly different. Grilled corn, a spicy/sweet/zesty vinaigrette, cool and creamy avocado, cilantro and jalapeño make this salad a perfect side dish to enjoy this summer.

You won’t find a trace of lettuce in this salad and that is a very good thing. With cauliflower done two ways, a plethora of fresh herbs, bursts of pomegranate seeds, lemon juice for brightness and pistachio for crunch and complexity, this salad is downright sensational.
