Fried Perch with Coleslaw & Oven Fries
Nothing beats cooking fish you caught yourself. This fresh fried perch recipe pairs lightly breaded perch with a tangy Greek yogurt coleslaw and crispy oven fries for an easy meal that's perfect after a day on the lake.
Moules-Frites (mussels + Fries)
Sometimes the best dinners aren't complicated. A bowl of mussels in a buttery white wine broth, crispy oven fries, a simple salad, and plenty of bread to soak up every last drop. This is one of those meals that feels like a vacation, even if you're eating it at your own kitchen table.
Turkish-Style Potato + Beef Stew
This Turkish-inspired beef and potato stew is the kind of meal you make from what you have, and it turns out better than expected. Built with biber salça, tomatoes, and a quick homemade stock, it’s simple, flavorful, and perfect served with fresh bread. Made with local sausage? Definitely veers from Türkiye and leans more Greek!
Enchilada soup
This is how I make enchilada soup when I actually want it to be as nutritionally beneficial as it is good. I start with two bone-in chicken legs, sear them, and build a real broth instead of using stock from a box. Then I layer in smoky chipotle, tomatoes, beans, and corn to turn it into a simple, filling soup that feels like a full meal.
Carnitas tacos + salsa negra
These pork loin carnitas tacos are oven-braised with citrus, garlic, and bacon for rich flavor, then crisped for texture. Served with a deep, smoky salsa negra made without chipotles, plus fresh toppings. Includes freezing instructions.
Stuffed Acorn Squash
This stuffed acorn squash recipe is a cozy, nutrient-dense dinner made with Italian sausage, mushrooms, kale, feta, and crispy bread crumbs. Easy to prepare, full of flavor, and perfect for meal prep lunches or a healthy meal.
