No more boring cobb salads! Made with the juiciest garlic rosemary chicken thighs and the most flavorful honey Dijon dressing!
If only all cobb salads looked like this, I never would have said no to them!
No, but really, this takes the traditional cobb salad to the next level. We’re not doing those boring cobb salads anymore.
Nope. Instead, we’re going to be using grilled chicken thighs – completely juicy and tender made with the simplest garlic-rosemary marinade. All you need is two hours to let all the flavors soak up.
While that happens, go ahead and crisp up your bacon, soft boil your eggs, slice up the rest of your ingredients, and whisk together the most epic honey Dijon vinaigrette.
Simply put, this salad will put all cobb salads to shame.
Sorry.

These breakfast pizzas, which are great for breakfast or breakfast-for-dinner combine two of my favorite foods – lox and everything bagel seasoning!
I used my easy breakfast pizza dough recipe and topped it with red onion and everything bagel seasoning, then baked it in the oven and finished it with a little cream cheese, lox, tomato, dill and capers. You can bake this in the oven or in the air fryer!

The easiest crockpot recipe of your life! It’s a one pot wonder – no searing, no fuss. Simply throw everything right in!
I love a good crockpot recipe. Especially the ones that cook low and slow for 7-8 hours, undisturbed, as you walk into the door from work where dinner is magically finished and set.
But then there are those other crockpot recipes that require a little bit of babysitting – ex. an initial sear before that low-and-slow goodness or a cornstarch slurry at the very end of cooking time.
But again, I truly love all slow cooker recipes. But I’m just not particularly fond of the ones that require that extra step, you know?
That’s why this recipe has quickly become my favorite recipe yet.
There’s no searing, no fuss. No extra steps of anything. No nothing.
Nope. You can throw everything right into the crockpot – all of it.
Then you can let it cook low and slow as the chicken gets so unbelievably tender – so tender, you can even shred this by giving the chili a good stir in the crockpot. (Note: chicken breasts can be substituted here, but thighs are much better in my opinion).
When ready to serve, top this bad boy off with all your favorite toppings – tortilla chips, cilantro, sour cream, red onion, avocado slices and lime wedges. But for me, personally, I just need a bag of tortilla chips for dipping purposes.
Yield: 6-8 servings
prep time: 20 minutes
cook time: 8 hours
total time: 8 hours 20 minutes

This light and easy chicken salad recipe made with leftover rotisserie chicken breast meat and my homemade ranch dressing. Great for lunch and meal prep!
I love keeping chicken salad on hand for easy lunch for the week. Buying a small container of the pre-made stuff is so expensive, and never as good as homemade. A few other chicken salad recipes I keep on rotation are Chicken Waldorf Salad, Chicken Salad with Avocado, Chicken Salad with Lemon and Dill and Cilantro Chicken Salad.
Fast, easy and budget-friendly using ramen noodles and ground beef for an amazing, saucy stir fry the whole family will love!
You have no idea how much I love a good stir fry. It’s always so quick to whip up, and you can essentially use up anything and everything in your fridge – making it cheap and budget-friendly.
And that’s exactly what this is. It doesn’t require too many ingredients, and by using ground beef and instant ramen noodles, this dish can’t come together any quicker.
The noodles just need 3-4 minutes to get nice and tender while your ground beef gets that beautiful crumble before you stir in the sauciest of all sauces that require only a few pantry staples.
From there, you can stir in those softened ramen noodles to sop up all those saucy bits.
You’ll be amazed as to how quickly this really comes together – 30 minutes or less from start to finish. Not to mention how many requests you’ll get for seconds and thirds guaranteed!
Yield: 4 servings
prep time: 15 minutes
cook time: 15 minutes
total time: 30 minutes

A super easy recipe for Korean BBQ beef with the most flavorful marinade! The thin slices of meat cook quickly, and it’s so tender!!!
It was always a treat when my mom would whip this up on those busy weeknights – marinating the beef just a few hours while I was at swim practice. And then she’d throw these onto a hot skillet, filling up the house with the best kind of beef aroma – you know, the smell at the Korean BBQ restaurants that get you so hungry.
The meat cooked in seconds, and she’d serve these with red leaf lettuce, rice, and red pepper paste. It was just perfection.
But with my mom being in Korea and all, she doesn’t really get a chance to make this for me anymore.
So I’ve done my best to “grow up” and whip this up myself. Now to be honest, nothing beats my mom’s cooking but this is a very close second.
The key here is to slice the meat as thin as possible. Throwing the steak in the freezer for 20-30 minutes helps with this process tremendously. That way, the thin cuts of meat can soak up the most epic marinade in just a few hours.
Once it’s done marinating, the hard part is over. Throw it onto a super hot cast iron skillet or grill pan and that smoky, sweet-savory charred bits of meat will simply put you over the edge.
Serve with rice and maybe a side of kimchi for a full meal. Or red leaf lettuce tacos also work perfectly here.
Yield: 4-6 servings
prep time: 2 hours 45 minutes
cook time: 15 minutes
total time: 3 hours
