The perfect salad for Christmas Dinner

No matter what your entree is for Christmas dinner, I’m willing to be that this Christmas Salad will go with it.

It’s a combination of peppery arugula and crisp radicchio, topped with juicy oranges, creamy goat cheese, cinnamon roasted almonds and beautiful pomegranate seeds.

But the thing that sets this salad apart is the zesty orange dressing. It’s creamy but not too creamy, filled with the flavor of fresh orange juice, sweetened with a bit of honey, and made a bit tangy by white wine vinegar and Dijon mustard.

Citrus & Herb Turkey Breast Tenderloin Recipe

I’ve seen so many memes this year about how everybody thinks turkey is the worst part of Thanksgiving dinner. I don’t agree, and it doesn’t have to be this way!

I think the problem some people are running into is over-cooked and under-seasoned turkeys. Or maybe they don’t like being stuck with leftover turkey meat for a week after the holiday?

This Turkey Tenderloin Recipe is here to solve all of the internet’s problems. It is absolutely BURSTING with the bright flavors of citrus and herbs.

And, it’s a standout option if you’re looking for a smaller, hassle-free entree for Thanksgiving that isn’t a whole roasted turkey.

Tender and juicy Pork Chop and Applesauce recipe

Pork chops and applesauce are a classic combination, and you can just never go wrong with something so classic.

This recipe elevates the traditional dish by making homemade applesauce with an optional bit of spice to liven things up.

Why do you put applesauce on Pork Chops?

While some people might shy away from eating fruit and meat together, they’re actually a great pairing.

The natural sweetness and tanginess of apples complement the richness of the thick double-cut pork chop, satisfying your taste buds.

And while the recipe below will ensure that your pork chops end up perfectly juicy, if you DO accidentally overcook them a bit, the applesauce is there for you to add some moisture back to every bite of pork.

Serve Crab Stuffed Shrimp as an appetizer or dinner!

One of the best things about cooking at home is realizing how possible it is to create a restaurant-quality dish without being a trained chef.

One of the best examples of this is a recipe like Stuffed Shrimp with Crab.

It’s nothing more than cutting open some shrimp and stuffing them with an easy-to-stir-up mixture of crab and seasonings, but it couldn’t be more impressive.

And even better – it only takes 10 minutes to bake, thanks to starting with a grocery store shortcut of pre-cooked shrimp.

This potato salad with bacon uses an easy technique to ensure it is perfectly dressed when you serve it.

More so than a lot of foods, there is a HUGE number of ways to make potato salad. Sauces, add-ins and even the type of potato may vary.

But I think the one thing we can all agree on is a good version of it needs to be properly dressed. Not an overly gloppy mayo-laden mess, but definitely not dry and under-seasoned either.

This potato salad with bacon recipe uses a technique I’ve been relying on for years – dividing the dressing in half and adding it at two different stages.

Have you ever added your dressing to warm potatoes, refrigerated your salad, and then wondered where all your dressing disappeared to? The potatoes suck it all up sometimes!

With this technique, you toss the still-warm potatoes with half of the dressing, then chill the salad to allow the warm potatoes to suck up and marinate in all of that flavorful dressing.

Then, once it’s chilled, just before serving, you add the rest of the dressing and toss again.

This technique ensures that the potatoes are seasoned by absorbing some of the dressing, but there’s also more dressing for the surface of that potatoes. It’s a perfectly dressed potato salad.

This is the Best Steak Marinade

It’s probably a Midwest thing, but I grew up eating flank steak marinated in bottled Italian salad dressing. And honestly, it was so so good. 10/10 would eat again.

Recently I wanted to make steak lettuce wraps with flank steak and wanted to marinate the steaks first. I was kind of craving something along the lines of that Italian dressing, but didn’t want to run to the store for a bottle of dressing.

I did have a bottle of balsamic vinegar on hand after making my balsamic glaze recipe, so I started there. Using that, along with some other things I had around, I was able to whip this marinade up in just a few minutes.

Use this Balsamic Steak Marinade for flank steak, skirt steak, or any other cut of beef you would like to marinate before cooking.
