Mixed Fruit Jam

This was a fun mixed fruit jam to make as I got to experiment with vanilla bean paste and a food mill for the first time! Loved using in-season plums for this jam as it reminded me of a plum jam my grandma always had in her pantry when we came over to visit.

Lemon Pepper Chicken with Mushroom Risotto

Lemon pepper is one of my favorite flavor combinations! Loved creating this Lemon Pepper Chicken & Asparagus w/Mushroom Risotto as a meal prep option one week for our house, especially since it’s a simple one sheet pan, one skillet type dinner (fewer dishes, big yes!!). Check out my tips on how best to meal prep and more in my blog here too.

Black Garlic Chicken with Black Garlic Risotto

A byproduct of our experiments with Black Garlic, we loved creating this Black Garlic Chicken with Black Garlic Risotto recipe.

Green Beans Pecan-dine

A unique play on Green Beans Almondine, but with pecans! This simple side dish I’ve dubbed “Green Beans Pecan-dine”, is made with green beans, butter, pecans, salt, & lemon juice. Super tasty, tangy, and crunchy, I’ve also seen people add cheese to it and it’s delish! We made this as a part of the themed dinner for my parent’s 32nd-anniversary dinner, where each course had a peach element. Check out the full blog for the rest of the menu and recipes here later on.

Recipe Notes:

If green beans aren’t in season when you make this recipe, feel free to sub in 1 (9 oz) package of frozen French-cut green beans instead!
This is a play on the original Green Beans Almondine recipe, which I kept about the same, except subbing in the pecans. Feel free to make it with the almonds if you’d like!
I’ve also seen versions where they added up to a 1/2 cup of Asiago, Parm, or some other sharp-aged cheese to this and it turned out delicious. I would use VioLife’s Just Like Parm parm if making it vegan or a Manchego cheese if wanting to go the non-dairy sheep’s cheese route.

Crock Pot Steak Fajitas

This veggie-heavy dish was a great way to use up some summer squash and zucchini in my fridge to make these Crock Pot Steak Fajitas. Use this recipe to bring the restaurant fajitas you love home, minus the 500* sizzling plate, of course!

Crock Pot Pork Al Pastor

You all know how much I love pork al pastor. In a taco, on an arepa, heck, straight out of a bowl are some of my favorite ways to eat it. I always try it at different restaurants to see what the next great al pastor place locally to us might be, but in the meantime, I wanted to see how good I could make it at home in a crockpot! Introducing our recipe for Crockpot Pork al Pastor!! Check out more on us testing out recipes to get to this one in our blog here.
