The most delectable, flaky fish slathered with a creamy mustard mayonnaise that melts into the crunch of breadcrumbs and all served with tender crisp asparagus. What if I told you this was all possible in about 15 minutes?

If you’ve been craving soft, foldable tortillas that fit into a low-carb lifestyle, these cauliflower tortillas are about to become your new go-to. They’re tender, flexible, and surprisingly sturdy — perfect for tacos, wraps, or even as a base for mini pizzas.
What makes them so great? Just three main ingredients: cauliflower, eggs, and almond flour. That’s it! No long ingredient list, no fancy equipment — just wholesome, real food. 
...There’s something deeply satisfying about a bowl meal — layers of texture, color, and flavor coming together in one comforting dish. This Crispy Tofu Bowl with Chow Mein Sauce is my go-to when I’m craving takeout vibes but want to keep it fresh, balanced, and made right at home....especially when I'm wanting a plant based meal.
 If you’ve ever been on the fence about Brussels sprouts, this recipe might just change your mind. Truly the best I've ever had & compliments to my niece, Country, who placed these before me when I was visiting she & hubby Eric in Michigan.
 If risotto feels a little intimidating or fussy, this recipe is here to change your mind. We’re making a creamy, cozy corn risotto using jasmine rice instead of more expensive arborio rice, and topping it with spicy, golden seared shrimp tossed in chili crisp. The result? A dish that’s equal parts comforting, indulgent, and just a little fiery.
This isn’t your traditional Italian risotto—it’s a mash-up of pantry smarts (using the rice you have) and bold flavors that turn a weeknight dinner into something special. 
There’s something magical about fall flavors wrapped up in buttery, flaky puff pastry. This Butternut Squash & Ricotta Puff Pastry Tart is one of those recipes that feels like it belongs at both a cozy weeknight dinner and a holiday gathering. It’s simple enough to make on a whim but beautiful enough to impress.
At its heart, this tart is all about balance—roasted butternut squash brings caramelized sweetness, ricotta adds creamy lightness, and puff pastry delivers that irresistible crunch. A scattering of fresh herbs and a drizzle of harissa honey takes it to the next level. 
There’s something special about starting your day with tacos. They’re quick, endlessly customizable, and pack a punch of flavor that a plain bowl of cereal just can’t compete with.
These Sweet Potato Jalapeño Breakfast Tacos are the perfect blend of hearty, spicy, and fresh—giving you a satisfying morning meal that feels a little indulgent while still being full of wholesome ingredients. 
If you’re craving big flavors but short on time, this Thai basil beef & green bean stir fry is the weeknight dinner you need. Made with ground beef instead of sliced steak, it comes together quickly with simple ingredients and is perfect over rice (or my husband's favorite...fat Udon noodles) for a satisfying meal.
When the air turns crisp and the leaves start tumbling, nothing feels more comforting than a skillet full of cozy fall flavors. Maple mustard chicken with apples and onions is exactly that—sweet, savory, tangy, and perfectly balanced. It’s one of those dinners that looks fancy enough for guests but is simple enough for a weeknight meal.
Sometimes dinner just needs to be fast, flavorful, and—most importantly—require minimal cleanup. That’s where crispy chicken sheet pan tacos come in. This one-pan wonder combines juicy chicken, melty cheese, and golden-toasted tortillas into a meal that will have your whole household hovering around the oven.
Succulent shrimp, seared to caramelized perfection in a sticky sweet, umami essenced sauce and served with tangy pickled ribbons of carrots and crispy garlic chips. Chef Roy Yamaguchi’s creations shine with Hawaiian soul, ands this recipe holds firm to that Hawaiian craftsmanship.

Whenever I see someone sharing their mom's or their grandmother's recipes, I know they're going to be good because they have passed the test of time, enough so to be handed down to the next generation. When I saw this unique twist on green beans, I knew I had to try it and I was not disappointed.
 There are certain dishes that just sound intimidating. Soufflé is one of them—right up there with croissants and Beef Wellington. It conjures images of French kitchens, copper pots, and chefs whispering in reverence so as not to scare the delicate thing into collapsing. But here’s the truth: a soufflé is actually far less fussy than its reputation. Yes, it’s a showstopper—golden on top, airy in the middle, and in this instance scented with tangy cheese—but it’s also completely doable in a home kitchen. The trick isn’t mystical skill; it’s timing, a little technique, and a healthy dose of confidence.
Because Leftovers Deserve a Glow-Up
If you’ve ever looked at a pile of leftover turkey and thought, "There has to be more to life than sandwiches,"congratulations—you’re one casserole away from your culinary redemption arc. Enter Shortcut Turkey Tetrazzini: the creamy, cheesy, pasta-filled comfort food your tired fridge turkey dreams about. And the best part? It’s a shortcut recipe, which means you get all the nostalgic vibes without spending your entire evening making a roux or questioning your life choices.

This dish is worthy of buying some inexpensive turkey tenderloins, roast them up in your air fryer (I used my Ninja Foodi) & dice up for just this use.  Crunchy, creamy, and bursting with bold, wholesome flavor. The salad I'm taking to all the events this summer & serving at my house on repeat!
If you love the classic Waldorf salad but want something with a little more depth and nutrition, this Mediterranean-inspired version is for you. We've kept the essentials—crisp apples, celery, and toasted pecans—but swapped the mayo for a silky lemon tahini dressing and added protein packed lentils and a creamy avocado for savory, zesty balance. 
If you’ve ever had a turkey burger that was dry, bland, or just kind of sad, you’re not alone. But trust me—these air fryer turkey burgers are anything but. They’re moist, flavorful, and cook up in under 15 minutes. No grill, no grease, no flipping out (literally or figuratively).
Whether you’re trying to eat a little leaner, want a no-fuss dinner, or just love a good burger, this recipe delivers big-time comfort with minimal cleanup. Let’s talk juicy details.  Let’s face it—crispy food without the guilt is the dream. Enter: Air Fryer Chicken Schnitzel. It’s all the golden, juicy, cutlet-y magic you’ve seen blowing up your feed, but made lighter and faster in the air fryer. Bonus? No standing over a hot skillet and zero greasy cleanup.
Paired with a zingy fresh salad with a lemon tahini dressing that basically tastes like summer, this dish feels fancy enough for guests but is easy enough for a Tuesday. Ready to go viral in your kitchen? Let’s do this 👇 
So easy to prepare, so impressive looking & so delicious! I'd say this checks all the boxes.
 No Pizza Oven? No Problem!
Let’s talk about sweet, salty, and spicy perfection: the Pineapple, Prosciutto & Jalapeño Pizza. This flavor-packed combo might sound a little rebellious to traditionalists, but once you take a bite, you’ll get why it works. And the best part? You don’t need a fancy pizza oven to make it at home—just your regular oven. This recipe is an at-home interpretation of the iconic pizette served at Bar Acuda in Hanalei, Kauai. If you’ve ever had the pleasure of dining there with this sizzling little number in front of you, you know the vibe and all thoughts of "pineapple doesn't belong on pizza" go out the window. This is our way of bringing a little Hawaii back to your own kitchen.  There’s something about the scent of cinnamon, vanilla, and golden panettone baking in the oven that makes a chilly morning feel instantly warmer. This Panettone French Toast Casserole has quickly become a holiday favorite in our home — it's rich, fluffy, and just indulgent enough to feel like a celebration. And the best part? You can prep it the night before and simply pop it in the oven the next morning while you get yourself ready.
As a foodie, I’ve always believed that food tells a story—and sometimes, that story takes on a whole new chapter when you change your scenery. Right now, I’m writing mine from the lush, vibrant island of Kauai, where the ingredients speak louder than any menu ever could.
Cashew chicken may not be native to this island, but standing barefoot in the kitchen of my new friend, Parisa Jade (originally of Bangkok, Thailand) with the scent of orchid in the air and knowing the crash of waves is minutes away, this dish takes on a whole new life. 
GOLDEN, BUBBLY & ABSOLUTELY DELICIOUS
If you're looking for a dish that brings both nostalgia and gourmet appeal to the table, look no further than Mushrooms Au Gratin. This vintage recipe, beloved for its creamy texture and golden, cheesy crust, is a classic that deserves a comeback.

You can find her at https://kayleenreusser.com. Kayleen loves to bring back nostalgic recipes and I'm all for it. She kindly offered to open her home, and more importantly her kitchen, to share this lovely mushroom centric recipe and I know you're going to love it. 
If you're looking for a comforting yet vibrant dish, these Turkey Meatballs in Thai Red Curry Sauce are the perfect fusion of hearty and exotic flavors. The juicy, tender turkey meatballs soak up the rich, creamy coconut curry, creating a meal that’s both satisfying and easy to make. Perfect for a weeknight dinner or an impressive dish for guests!
 If you're looking for a fast, delicious, and budget-friendly meal, this SPAM and Broccoli Stir-Fry is a game-changer! SPAM, with its crispy, caramelized edges, pairs beautifully with tender-crisp broccoli in a savory, 2 ingredient umami-packed sauce. Whether you're short on time or just craving something different, this stir-fry is sure to hit the spot.
 I could not be a bigger fan of sheet pan meals and this gorgeously spicy, succulent shrimp atop the most gloriously roasted brussels and sweet potatoes is no exception,
