When I think of fall cooking, apples and pork often come to mind. This easy, healthy-yet-hearty single skillet dish combines the two deliciously – and the cooking time – it’s just 15 minutes! The original recipe for this dish was kindly sent to me by a chef colleague of mine, […]
There is no reason to grab a blue box of macaroni and cheese when you have a recipe that is as easy as this and results in something SO much better. This recipe is an updated version of the stovetop macaroni and cheese I created for my first Eat What […]
It’s hard not to say Olė to a scrumptious soup with only 5-ingredients that takes only 15-minutes to make. Honestly, “homemade” just doesn’t get much easier—or faster.
