How to Pan Sear Salmon (It's So Easy!)

Does cooking salmon intimidate you? I used to be very intimidated by the thought of cooking salmon. For the longest time, I would only prepare it in ways that could be baked in the oven. Growing up, I don’t remember us eating much salmon and I rarely recall us cooking fish on the stove so it was a big deal when I became more comfortable trying stovetop recipes. But it shouldn’t be intimidating because it’s simple! Here’s my easy recipe for fool-proof seared salmon!

RECIPE: Sweet Potato & Brussels Sprouts Skillet

A new recipe for you all!! And it’s a skillet meal! It feels like forever since I created a new dish and this is a fun one because you can really change it up to fit your family’s preferences! I was inspired by a ground turkey recipe my sister-in-law recently shared with me. Turkey is a no-go for us because of my husband’s poultry allergy but I liked the overall concept and was initally going to just swap out the ground turkey for beef and share another modification blog post about making a recipe work for your particular situation, BUT I ended up creating something entirely different and decided to write my own recipe to share with you guys!!

Pineapple Shrimp

Doesn’t the taste of pineapple just transport you to somewhere warmer?? Well it does for me, anyway! Growing up, my mom would bake this pineapple chicken dish every once in a while and it was a favorite for everyone in the house! Darrell is allergic to poultry so I don’t cook mom’s pineapple chicken for us but we recently started experimenting with shrimp and pineapple!

The Dish So Good We Cooked it 3 Nights in a Row

Y’all already know risotto is our favorite. We love how you can dress it up or keep it simple and therefore we love trying to new risotto recipes any chance we get. One of our new favorites is a red wine + goat cheese take on this Italian comfort food. I love trying different cheeses in risotto and I wasn’t sure if goat cheese would really “work” in this dish but IT DOES!! And if you’re not a huge fan of goat cheese, I think you’d probably still like this risotto because it’s not in your face with the goat cheese flavor!
