I'm working on a series of small cookbooks. I'm not sure when they will be done but I'm going for easy, healthy and affordable.
Here are three from the first volume that are geared towards one pot dishes.
Skillet lasagna, chicken Alfredo and pizza pasta.
Everything was cooked in the one pot/pan.

Have you ever had grilled potato salad? Oh my damn!!
I par boiled the potatoes, tossed them in oil with sliced onions and some salt and pepper and cooked them on some foil on the grill.
The dressing was a concoction 😆
I will be making it again and writing it down.
I used:
Avocado mayo, Greek yogurt, dill pickle mustard, fresh dill and parsley, dried chives, salt and pepper, minced garlic and a splash of white wine vinegar and a little of the juice from a jar of banana peppers.
Let me tell you I did NOT make enough of that potato salad 😋
I will be making it again soon because there aren't enough left overs 😆
The chicken are thighs seasoned with Kinders garlic and parmesan seasoning.

Some mornings, “healthy” looks a whole lot less fancy than social media makes it seem. 😅
This breakfast took me maybe 5 minutes because I did a little prep work ahead of time. Yesterday I roasted potatoes, sautéed zucchini, peppers, and onions in avocado oil with garlic and seasonings, and cooked up some Italian turkey sausage. This morning I just tossed everything into the air fryer to heat up while I cooked a couple eggs. Easy. Filling. Balanced. Done. 🙌
And yes, veggies at breakfast count too. 👏 Your meals don’t have to be complicated to support your goals. A little protein, some fiber-rich carbs, healthy fats, and color on your plate go a long way.
This is one of my favorite “real life” meals lately because it feels comforting and practical without spending half the morning in the kitchen.
The Italian turkey sausage recipe is on my website if you want to make your own! 💜

I have been playing with some new recipes.

Tonight was dutch oven roasted chicken with veggies. I used herbs from my porch like sage, Greek oregano, thyme and rosemary. Lemon, and garlic as well.

Turned out delicious!

My husband inhaled his plate 😆

I reduced the drippings, not as a gravy but a light pan sauce. Everything has a light lemon herb flavor 🤌

Tonight I cooked some of the pork chops I posted about earlier. They were so delicious.

6 1" thick boneless pork loin chops. I seasoned with a garlic parm seasoning if you don't have that then you could use, salt, pepper, granulated onion and garlic.
Cook them over medium heat with about 1-2 tbsp of avocado oil. I put the lid on the pan to help retain moisture, flip about 4-5 minutes in. I cooked them until they hit 145° internal temp. Remove from the pan and set aside. Add a little butter to the pan if needed, I tossed in a small shallot and about 4 cloves of garlic all finely minced. Cook until golden then de-glaze the pan with 3/4 cup of chicken stock. Stir in a container of Garlic & Herb Borsin cheese (that was at room temp) and let simmer a minute for the sauce to thicken a bit. Put the pork chops back in the pan to finish cooking in the sauce.
I served them with mashed potatoes and a side salad.
This was so good!!!
