5-Ingredient Maple Dijon Salmon

Maple Mustard Salmon is a healthy dinner recipe, made with 5 ingredients and in only 15 minutes! You’ll love this delicious, easy, one-pan baked salmon. It’s gluten-free and low carb.   If you know me, you know my love for salmon! Not only is it delicious, but it’s such a pretty shade of pink! Well, technically the color is SALMON. So, I guess they call it that for a reason. Haha. Anyway, because it’s healthy (full of Omega 3 fats) and really quick and easy to cook, I make it often. When it’s warm outside, I grill it to use in Salmon Salad Veggie Bowls. Most of the time though, I like to make sheet pan salmon dinners. Because after...

Eating is loads of fun, but in order to do that, you’ve got to get off the couch and cook (let’s pretend that ordering pizza isn’t an option). The good news is that cooking can be incredibly enjoyable and it will put your creativity and dexterity to the test. The bad news is, watching Gordon Ramsay shout at amateur cooks for the 100th time on YouTube won’t make you a brilliant chef if you don’t hone your skills like a cuisine samurai.

These cooks are sharing some of their wisdom with amateurs and helping them avoid the most basic, common mistakes that some of us are guilty of. Personally, I overcrowd the...

Action Figure Review: Baxter Stockman (Glow-in-the-Dark) from Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles Ultimates by Super7

       Ready for some more Turtle Power? How about a new Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles line? Then let's get ready for Super7's Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles Ultimates line, a new 6-7 inch scaled line of action figures based on the vintage Playmates Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles line. Yes, these figures aren't based on a current piece of media, the comics, or the classic films; they're based on the 1988 Playmates toys that most of us had as kids. If you're at all familiar with Mattel and Super7's Masters of the Universe Classics or Thundercats figures then you might have an idea of what to expect as these follow a similar pattern: Larger, more detailed, and more articulated versions of...

This bourbon buttermilk fried chicken has that incredibly satisfying combination of shatteringly crisp skin and meltingly tender meat with an ever-so-subtle hint of bourbon

The hardest part is letting it marinate for 2 days. Adapted from Gina Medeiros | Personal Collection, 2020 This fried chicken recipe is an amalgam of recipes and techniques I’ve tried over the years in the pursuit of fried chicken that’s worth the work. Adding booze makes the coating crisper. You could use vodka for more neutral results, but my love of bourbon prompted me to try that and that and it has since become my default. Also, I love spicy hot Nashville-style fried chicken. So, this recipe is meant to bring all of the best iterations of fried chicken together in delicious balance. [Editor’s Note: This spectacular recipe comes to use from one of our recipe testers, Gina Medeiros.]–Gina...
