NOT YOUR DRIVE THRU CHICKEN TENDERS WITH HONEY MUSTARD
Blew my own mind with these… pure nostalgia.
Growing up in the South most likely results in eating an ungodly amount of fried chicken, not to mention a particular, incredibly delicious drive-thru chicken nugget with honey mustard.
This is my cleaned up version using a grain free batter and no junk honey mustard. Let me just tell you… these did not disappoint!
Saffron Braised Short Ribs
A hearty, savory recipe featuring luscious saffron - delicious for a weekend dinner...
These short ribs are delicious served alongside roasted potatoes, polenta, or asparagus.
If you’re not super comfortable in the kitchen, meals like this can come across as intimidating to make. That's precisely why I like to show the making of them. I'll walk you through the process in hopes you'll see they are pretty straight forward. It's just a matter of following simple steps.
Japanese Sweet Potato, Shiitake & Caper Pancakes
Bringing together a few of my favorite ingredients to make these savory pancakes. Mineral-rich shiitake mushrooms bring the irresistible umami. Japanese sweet potatoes boost the nutritional value, add subtle sweetness, and hold everything together. And capers add a needed briny bite.
Delicious for pretty much any meal… just serve them with a poached egg in the morning, sliced avocado for lunch or alongside a hearty roast for dinner.
Note: I use stemmed shiitakes for this recipe, but like the save the stems to add a little umami to broths and soups.
Buffalo Chicken Taquitos
Panna cotta may seem fancy, but when it comes down to it, it’s basically milk jello—in this instance, a matcha latte in gelatinized form.
