One of my go-to breakfasts is cinnamon swirl bread. It's packed with that swirl of cinnamon-sugar goodness and tastes even better when toasted and smeared with some butter. It even makes the perfect base for french toast. Talk about the ultimate breakfast! Don't get me wrong, I always have a loaf of store-bought cinnamon bread on hand. It's delicious.

It's actually quite simple and hey, you'll have every right to brag about your finished, homemade bread loaf! View this post on Instagram soft, gooey, fluffy cinnamon swirl bread. excuse us...

Today, I’m sharing my baked chicken thighs recipe

These chicken thighs are crispy on the outside and moist on the inside. The reason I love this recipe is the fact that I can have dinner ready from start to finish in an hour.

This Whole30-compliant sheet pan Teriyaki Salmon is a cinch to make and a breeze to clean up! Don’t you love when you can throw everything on a sheet pan and have dinner ready in 30 minutes?

After developing my Easy Teriyaki Salmon recipe using my favorite flavor booster, All-Purpose-Stir-Fry Sauce, I started brainstorming different ways to turn it into a complete sheet pan dinner. I love the idea of sheet pan suppers, but it’s not always easy to pair a protein with vegetables that’ll cook at the same time AND taste good together. Luckily, this combo hits the mark! Key cooking tips Make sure you use thin French green beans (a.k.a. haricots verts) as opposed to regular old fat green beans. The skinnier green beans will be cooked through with a little crunch when the salmon is ready. If you can find only regular green beans, blanch them in boiling salted water first to par-cook them....

An easy and elegant recipe for Smoked Sausage Stuffed Mushrooms cooked on your smoker (or oven)

Smoked sausage is the secret to the BEST stuffed mushrooms ever! These make a great holiday appetizer or for a family gathering!  What could be better than delicious bite sized stuffed mushrooms filled with savory goodness? The answer is smoked sausage in that filling! Add smoked sausage to an already flavorful filling of shallots, garlic, crème fraîche, parmesan cheese (and more), and then smoke the stuffed mushrooms to create the ultimate stuffed mushroom. Smoking bulk sausage (sausage not in casings) is an easy way to get incredible smoked flavor into a number of meals. A few of my favorites include, smoked sausage and lentil soup, the smoked sausage and hatch chili beer cheese dip(!!!), and smoked sausage lasagna. It’s a...
