German Potato Salad

This German Potato Salad has a ton of flavor and it goes great with all of your summertime BBQ dishes. You can prepare it ahead and if you’re finishing up your other dishes, let it sit room temp or if you’re eating later, pop it in the fridge until you’re ready to eat. The longer the flavors have to meld together, the better!

Tomatillo Salsa

Tomatillo Salsa, which can also be referred to as Salsa Verde, however, it is usually referred to by ingredient rather than color. In my recipes such as the Chicken Enchilada Skillet Bake or the Salsa Verde Chicken Enchiladas, this my go-to recipe. It’s the perfect blend of spice and tartness and you can also serve it with chips on its own!

Pozole Rojo

For this Pozole Rojo recipe, I make it by rehydrating my own mix of dried chiles. I use a mix of Guajillo, Ancho and Chiles de Arbol. A good rule of thumb is the smaller the pepper, the more heat it packs. So, you can adjust with the number of each pepper you want to use based on how spicy you want to make your Pozole.

Za’atar Rack of Lamb with Pistachio Mint Gremolata

I created this recipe for Za’atar Rack of Lamb with Pistachio Mint Gremolata knowing that our family gatherings this Easter may still be on the small side. It’s a great alternative to that huge honey baked ham or larger cut leg of lamb. A rack of lamb adds an element of elegance to a holiday or special occasion and is perfect for a small gathering.

Dolmades

Greek food is one of my absolute favorite cuisines and Dolmades (Dolmathes) are one of my favorite Greek appetizers. They take a little bit of time to roll out, but they are well worth the work. If you happen to have extras leftover, they are great warmed up a few days later, or will even hold in the freezer until you’re ready for them again!

Mistletoe Mule

Everyone loves a great Moscow Mule recipe! This is my version that I created for the holidays, my Mistletoe Mule. This is a great drink recipe because you can tweak it with all kinds of various flavors, depending upon the time of the year. I have made this Mistletoe Mule with pomegranate juice and pomegranate seeds for garnish instead of sugar frosted cranberries.

Smoked Arroz Con Pollo with Chimichurri

I love a great one-pan, family style meal that packs a ton of flavor like this Arroz Con Pollo. One of the greatest parts of a one pan meal is that cooking everything together allows the rice to absorb all of the amazing flavors from the chicken.
