MAKES: 10 servings · PREP TIME: 20 minutes · COOK TIME: 35 minutes I love paella. It’s like the Spanish version of jambalaya, which I also love. Paella is named for the type of pan it is cooked in, as shown in the photo. It comes in many different versions, but I...
BARBECUE PULLED PORK SANDWICHES
MAKES: 8 sandwiches (1 per serving) · PREP TIME: 20 minutes · COOK TIME: 7 hours This is a recipe comprised of recipes, but I couldn’t help myself. They complement each other so well that I would be doing you a great disservice if I didn’t show you how to put them...
BALSAMIC SHALLOT PORK CHOPS
MAKES: 4 servings · PREP TIME: 10 minutes · COOK TIME: 25 minutes There is something so delicious about a sauce made right in the pan. It catches all the delicious flavors from every stage of cooking to create one bold explosion of flavor. This sauce is also amazing...
EASY CUBAN PICADILLO
MAKES: 8 servings · PREP TIME: 10 minutes · COOK TIME: 25 minutes Picadillo is one of those dishes that every person makes differently, but I have yet to try a version I didn’t love. Many traditional versions of picadillo contain raisins. For that same subtle...
BEEF POT ROAST
MAKES: 8 servings · PREP TIME: 20 minutes · COOK TIME: 3 hours A big, hearty roast is my favorite thing to cook low and slow. You can take an inexpensive cut of beef that would typically be far from tender and use time and heat to transform it into something that is...

MAKES: 2 servings · PREP TIME: 5 minutes · COOK TIME: 12 minutes There is nothing quite like a perfectly seared rib-eye that has been basted in butter—or, in this case, butter-flavored coconut oil. Generously seasoning the steak with salt and pepper and then cooking...

MAKES: 6 servings · PREP TIME: 15 minutes, plus 20 minutes to marinate · COOK TIME: 10 minutes This is one of my favorite quick and easy meals for busy weeknights. It has minimal ingredients, maximum flavor, and comes together in less than thirty minutes of hands-on...
BEEF RAGOUT
MAKES: 6 servings · PREP TIME: 20 minutes · COOK TIME: 40 minutes The savory meat sauce in this recipe reminds me of a cross between sloppy Joe mix and beef stew. It is good old-fashioned comfort food at its finest. This dish is a great way to use up leftovers. Have...
CAESAR SALAD WITH CUMIN-SPICED PECANS
MAKES: 4 servings · PREP TIME: 10 minutes I seriously love Caesar salad. In fact, I almost always have one when we dine out. Minus the croutons, they are typically keto-friendly no matter where you order them. Often I order a large Caesar salad as my entree and add...
BACON-WRAPPED AVOCADO FRIES
MAKES: 5 servings (4 fries per serving) · PREP TIME: 15 minutes · COOK TIME: 25 minutes It doesn’t get much simpler than a recipe with just two main ingredients. And it doesn’t get much more delicious than when those two ingredients are bacon and avocados. For this...
