Recipes Worth Making This Weekend

Published 6 days 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,

Jamaican Style Pepper Steak Recipe

Hi Reader, I've been sharing a few quick stir-fry recipes that we love, and this Jamaican Pepper Steak is one of them. The beef is seasoned with allspice and all-purpose seasoning, seared until browned, then combined with bell peppers, thyme, ginger, green onion, and a savory sauce. Pepper Steak Recipe What I love about this one is the flavor combination. It's a stir fry at heart, but the seasoning is unmistakably Caribbean. That allspice and thyme with the soy sauce and ginger is such a good...

Country-style ribs (oven method)

Hi Reader, I love BBQ. Not just in the summer when everyone's grilling outside, but year-round. There's something about that smoky, sweet, sticky sauce that I love no matter what month it is. These country-style ribs give you all that BBQ goodness without dealing with a grill in February weather. Country Style Ribs Recipe The technique is simple: low and slow in the oven. You season them, cover them with foil, and cook them at 300°F for over two hours. Then brush them with BBQ sauce, increase...

Braised Lamb Recipe

Hi Reader, I'm a fan of the Cava restaurant, where they have the most flavorful braised lamb bowls with all those fresh toppings and sauces. This is not their exact braised shredded lamb recipe (I don’t know what they put in theirs), but this one? Oh my goodness. It’s so good. This braised lamb has become one of my favorite recipes to make when I want something I can stretch. I cook a big batch, use it in bowls for a few days, and freeze the rest for later. It’s one of those base recipes that...
