BEST Prime Rib Rub

My family doesn’t have a certain meal we eat every Christmas, but often enough, it’s prime rib. Otherwise known as a standing rib roast, it can be intimidating for a home cook to execute.

So let’s just start at the beginning. The first step to achieve a beautifully seasoned prime rib that will leave your guests impressed is a really great Prime Rib Rub.

A rub made with simple ingredients like rosemary, thyme, garlic and shallots creates a deeply flavorful and crispy crust on the meat, making it a memorable meal every single time.

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.

A Bourbon Lemon Cocktail perfect for happy hour

A well-made bourbon sour (or bourbon smash drink) is a refreshing joy to drink. Made with bourbon and a generous amount of simple syrup and lemon juice, it’s sweet while still being well, sour.

But what if you could elevate the experience even more? This Bourbon Rosemary Cocktail only requires adding a few sprigs of rosemary to the pot while you’re making the simple syrup.

This rosemary-infused simple syrup is also the backbone of my cranberry rosemary cocktail, grapefruit vodka cocktail and rosemary gin cocktail.

Today, we’re using it for a sophisticated yet approachable twist on a classic bourbon sour.

The perfect Rosemary Syrup Recipe for whisky, gin, vodka or mocktails!

Whether it’s summer and I have lots of it in my garden, or it’s fall and I have some leftover after making butternut squash noodles, it seems like I often have extra rosemary I want to use up.

If you can relate, and you love a great cocktail, I suggest you try this fresh homemade Rosemary Simple Syrup.

Do you like whisky? Or maybe you prefer gin or vodka? The great news is that this syrup pairs perfectly with ALL of those things.

Or, if a mocktail is more your speed, I have you covered there, too.

When you think of a charcuterie board, you might think of a cocktail party, a light dinner or even an afternoon snack. But I also think of breakfast!

As I’ll explain below, charcuterie for breakfast is quite common in Europe, and I think we should celebrate here in the United States, too!

Read on to learn how to build an epic Breakfast Charcuterie board perfect for a weekend brunch or holiday gathering like Mother’s Day.

You will love this Easy Salmon Recipe

Even though we have America’s favorites like buttermilk chicken and fettuccine bolognese, the #1 most popular protein around here has been salmon for quite awhile. While many home cooks are intimidated by making salmon, it doesn’t have to be that way.

I’m happy to keep providing easy salmon recipes with step-by-step tips that will give you restaurant-quality meals at home, like salmon pasta and salmon pesto pasta.

Just like my grilled sockeye salmon, this lemon herb baked sockeye salmon recipe is very simple yet very delicious.

It’s great for just eating on it’s own with a side of roasted glazed carrots, or as a way of cooking salmon to make another recipe, like Cajun salmon pasta or salmon cakes.

“This was maybe the best baked salmon we have ever tasted! This will go into our regular rotation.”

I truly didn’t know it at the time I was first developing it, but my gin rosemary cocktail has become one of my go-to drinks, pretty much all year ’round. And it turns out that quite a few of you like it, too!

In the spirit of making spirits bright, today I’m sharing a cocktail that is perfect for the holiday season, but can be enjoyed any time of the year, really.

This Cranberry Rosemary Cocktail comes together lighting quick, with just a few ingredients. Make one or two, or stir up a big pitcher of it! If you’re having a party, don’t forget the shrimp deviled eggs and phyllo cup appetizers!

DIY Charcuterie Cup Ideas

All the way from a Thanksgiving charcuterie board to a charcuterie chalet and many stops in between, there’s no denying that this time of year is perfect for as many fun charcuterie board ideas as you can dream up.

Whether you’re entertaining a crowd with a wine and cheese board or just having some snacks at home, this type of food is probably at its most popular during the holidays, so you can have a cranberry rosemary cocktail or grapefruit mule in one hand, and a snack in the other!

And sure, I’ve already done jarcuterie, and I know you’re thinking that this charcuterie in a cup really isn’t much different. And you’re right – it’s not! I’m just publishing these mini charcuterie cups to give you even more inspiration for single serving charcuterie this holiday season.

Swoon-Worthy Honey Glazed Carrots Recipe

Lately, I’ve been really into vegetable side dishes that are as special (or MORE special) than the main dish on my plate. I love it when the vegetables like butternut squash noodles or balsamic asparagus are actually the star of the plate, and any meat or protein is kind of the supporting player.

This technique goes against everything I learned in culinary school, where it was always: start with the meat (like grilling flat iron steak or lamb lollipops), then figure out some sort of vegetable to accompany it.

My new strategy is to find a really fresh piece of fish or chicken, sprinkle it with simple seasonings, and simply throw it in the oven.

Since those “recipes” like my sockeye salmon recipe take about 30 seconds of prep time, I have plenty of time to devote to the vegetable I’m about to give the royal treatment.

These Garlic Honey Roasted Carrots were SO SO SO good that I couldn’t even tell you what else we had for dinner the night we ate them. All I remember are the honey garlic carrots!

I’m not on TikTok. The only TikToks I see are the ones my friends text me, or the ones popular enough to eventually make their way onto Instagram. Honestly, if I signed up, I’d probably spend way too much time on it, so I’m OK staying off of it.

This means that most of the current food trends fly right past me, because most of them originate on TikTok. But once in awhile, some, like jarcuterie and breakfast charcuterie boards are popular enough that even I can’t ignore them.

One of the original TikTok trends, Dalgona coffee, has made it’s way into my repertoire, and when I’m not making caramel iced coffee, I’m still making Dalgona coffee (more like still trying to make my way through the HUGE jar of instant coffee granules I bought).

And recently, of course, I haven’t been able to miss the butter boards making the rounds on all forms of social media. Whether you love them, hate them or haven’t tried one yet, I’m sure you’ve also realized they’re impossible to ignore.

Give me room temperature salted butter any day of the week, and I’m in. And with it being apple season (also known as autumn) here in Pure Michigan, I thought I would combine butter with APPLE butter made from Michigan Apples to create my own spin on this wild, fun trend.

Grab some friends, and, for those over the age of 21, a round of bourbon apple cider cocktails or caramel apple mules, and let’s dive in to this butter board recipe!
