Garlic Roast Bird w/ Charred Lemon Chimi + Charred Onions

Posted by Samantha Moniz on

This dish may look fancy but I promise even the most novice home-cook could whip this up. All the ingredients are tossed onto one sheet pan and cooked on the Traeger for that wood-fired flavor. Let's also talk about the star of this dish, the chimichurri. I would eat a leather boot if it were covered in this stuff. No better way to get an added dose of freshness than with a sauce of fresh herbs and yummmmmy EVOO.

Greek Meatballs

Posted by Samantha Moniz on

I love these meatballs because they are PACKED with flavor. They also keep well in the fridge and are even yummy served chilled. I love a simple meal that comes together with ease but impresses your hungry guests. I can always tell by the various groans and grunts between bites that I've hit a home run. This is a go-to recipe for that lingering ground meat in the freezer, great to switch it up when you want something other than a burger or a Bolognese.

Sweet + Sour Pork Loin Roast

Posted by Samantha Moniz on

The day I tested this I’d gone to the store and got everything on my mental list. I got home and I realized I completely forgot a fresh pineapple 🤬. It was on my written list sitting in the kitchen island but never made it to my mental list. I went ahead and worked with what I had. This recipe was BOMB without the pineapple and I know it would have been even BOMBER with it. That’s life! Sometimes we have everything we need to make the perrrrfect meal and other times, it’s pretty perfect with what we have. Especially now, don’t let a missing ingredient keep you from whipping up something yummy. Make it work people!

Posted by Samantha Moniz on

The fridge was EMPTY yesterday and it’s always so much harder to think up recipes with an empty fridge. Thankfully I have a few staple recipes hanging around for inspiration.. like this one! I am looooving pork loin roast. It’s as if a pork loin, ate another pork loin. It’s the pork loin’s big brother. I’m not messing with the little pork loin anymore, the pork loin ROAST is here to stay!
