This Week’s Flavor Fest
Say goodbye to the 5 p.m. panic. With crisp proteins, savory gravies, and pizza nights, you’ll sail through the week with smiles at the dinner table.
Instant Pot Carnitas
Pressure-cooked pork shoulder infused with orange zest, cumin, and garlic. After cooking, shred and flash-fry for crispy edges—tacos just got legendary.
Bang Bang Chicken
We’re trading deep-frying for a quick bake, then tossing tender pieces in a whipped mayo-chili sauce. Garnish with scallions and crushed peanuts for extra crunch.
Skillet Salisbury Steak
Seasoned beef patties seared to perfection, then simmered in a decadent onion-mushroom gravy. Serve over garlic mashed potatoes with a side of green beans.
Easy BBQ Chicken Pizza
Brush the prebaked crust with garlic olive oil before adding toppings: shredded chicken, slivered red onion, cilantro, mozzarella, and tangy BBQ sauce. Broil for a bubbly finish.
Classic Chicken Piccata
Lightly breaded chicken breasts pan-roasted in butter, then enveloped in a bright caper-lemon sauce. Spoon extra sauce over pasta or roasted potatoes.
Chef’s Special Tip
For maximum flavor in your carnitas, brown pork chunks in batches before pressure cooking. This extra step builds a deep, caramelized crust.
