Pork Chop with Carrots and Romesco Sauce
Romesco sauce is traditionally a seafood sauce from the Catalonia region of Spain. It’s made from roasted red peppers, almonds, olive oil, and garlic. However, because it’s so rich and hearty, it pairs fantastically with pork, chicken, or lamb. I made a simple pork chop with stove-top braised carrots to

Easy Paleo Romesco Sauce
Romesco is a bold, Spanish sauce traditionally made with roasted red peppers, olive oil, garlic, and almonds. Originally from the Catalonia region on the Northeastern coast, it was meant to be served with fish. But the versatility of romesco lends itself well to pork, chicken, or lamb. Romesco can also be used as

Herbed Chicken Wings
Is there any bad time for wings? I didn’t think so. Chicken wings are good for lunch, a snack, a side dish, parties, or even a dinner. Heck, I’ll even eat some cold leftover chicken wings for breakfast. These herbed wings are a great alternative to the normal hot-sauce or

Chicken Legs with Butternut Squash and Apples
This is another one of those super easy, one-dish, kind of recipes that I’m a big fan of. The chicken comes out perfect. The butternut squash and the apples make a nice sweet and savory balance, and the sage ties it all together. I used a very small butternut squash here

Dijon Egg Salad with Bacon
On one hand, I can’t say I’ve been the biggest fan of egg salad. But on the other hand, each time I’ve had it, I can’t help but say “Why don’t I eat this more often?” It’s a question for the ages. And with the addition of bacon, garlic, and

Roasted Bone Marrow
If you haven’t tried bone marrow, it’s a must try. Some people don’t like it, but those people are wrong 😉 If you can turn on an oven, you can make roasted bone marrow. It’s that easy. The hard part is finding it. If you’ve already got a favorite local butcher,

Pork Chop with Mustard Reduction and Roasted Okra
In my part of the world, okra only shows up for a short period of time during the year, so I like to do what I can with it. It’s an interesting vegetable that’s beloved by the South, and slowly making it’s way (thankfully) throughout the rest of the U.S.

Apple Smothered Pork Chop
I know I say a lot of my dishes are super easy to make, but this one really is! A pork chop, an apple… and only 1 dish to clean. And if that’s not enough, it’s packed with bold, classic flavors everyone from kids to adults will love. Prep time: 2 min.
