Recipes Worth Making This Weekend

Published 4 months ago • 1 min read

Hi Reader,

This weekend feels like a good one to go all out on dinner. Whether you're cooking for someone special or just treating yourself, here's what I'd put on the menu:

🥩 A Really Good Steak I've got two ways for you, depending on what you're working with:

Air Fryer Steak – Quick, juicy, and topped with garlic herb butter. The air fryer steak has been a popular recipe on my site for years, and for good reason. It's consistent. I love making this with ribeye steaks.
Pan-Seared Steak– If you want a restaurant-style sear with a beautiful crust, this is the one. All you need is a hot skillet, I use a cast iron.

🦞 Lobster Tails These are way easier than people think. I've got two methods for you:

Air Fryer Lobster Tails – Quick and hands-off. They come out tender and perfectly cooked every time.
Steamed Lobster Tails – If you've got a steamer pan, this is a classic way to do it. Simple and hard to mess up.

🍝 Spicy Vodka Rigatoni Creamy, a little spicy, and absolutely addictive. This one comes together fast, and it's the kind of pasta that makes people ask for the recipe.

Get the spicy vodka rigatoni recipe or if spicy isn't your thing, I have a vodka pasta sauce, just throw it over your favorite cooked pasta.

🍫 Chocolate Molten Lava Cakes Made in the air fryer, so they're done in minutes. Warm, rich, and that gooey chocolate center is everything. This is the dessert that makes the whole meal feel fancy.

You don't have to make all four (but I wouldn't blame you if you did). Pick one or two and make it a good weekend.

Happy Cooking,

Crispy chicken tenders, two ways

Hi Reader, When my brain is fried, and I can't figure out what to make for dinner, I make chicken tenders. I love how easy they are as a base. You can toss them in whatever sauce you want or just use them as a dip. Make sure to bake them on a baking sheet with a rack (Amazon affiliate link) to keep them crispy. 👉🏾 Here's the recipe: Crispy Oven Baked Chicken Tenders The one tip I want you to take away from this recipe is to toast your panko breadcrumbs in the oven before you bread the...

New Orleans BBQ shrimp (and it's not what you think)

Hi Reader, We spent spring break in New Orleans and had the best time. A gator tour, more food than I can list, and a whole lot of walking it off after. The BBQ shrimp stuck with me. It's not actually barbecued. It's jumbo shrimp simmered in a buttery, garlicky, Worcestershire-spiked sauce, and you eat it with crusty bread for soaking up every last bit of that sauce. Nothing sweet, nothing sticky, just bold Louisiana flavor in one skillet. 🍴 Get the recipe: New Orleans BBQ Shrimp. If this one...

Sausage Lentil Soup

Hi Reader, The weather in North Carolina has been all over the place lately. One day it's in the 70s, and the next it's cold, rainy, and windy. On the cold, rainy days, I want soup. Really good soup. This sausage lentil soup fits the bill. Not only is it delicious, but it's packed with good stuff — lentils for fiber, zucchini, celery, onions, carrots, and tomatoes. And the Italian sausage? It adds so much flavor. This is the kind of soup that makes you actually look forward to a gloomy day....
