The Wonton Soup to satisfy your cravings

I’ve had a hard time finding good takeout wonton soup near me, so, since it’s one of my favorite comfort foods, I’ve perfected the art of making it for myself.

If you think wonton soup is a combination of mushy wontons and flavorless broth, this soup will change your mind.

This post will walk you through how to make the shrimp filling and a super flavorful broth. It will also show you, step-by-step, how easy folding soup wontons actually is.

In no time, you’ll have a wonton assembly line happening in your kitchen, and a fresh and wholesome soup to eat!

“So yummy! Love the broth. I used whole shrimp and wouldn’t change a thing! Definitely a keeper. Thank you!”

Get ready for the most tender and flavorful Crockpot Pork Roast

The humble boneless pork shoulder doesn’t get enough love, in my opinion. Maybe because it’s also referred to as pork BUTT?

But this affordable cut of meat shines after a low and slow cook time.

This Crockpot Pork Roast gives you tender meat, soft carrots and onions, and a rich umami-bomb gravy, and your slow cooker does most of the work.

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.

This easy Ground Beef Stir Fry recipe is perfect for a weeknight!

With grocery prices going up and up, steak isn’t something that we buy very often. Ground beef is more affordable, but what can you do with it besides tacos, spaghetti and burgers?

Turns out, ground beef stir fry with rice is a delicious way to prepare this standby weeknight protein.

While stir fry is usually made with sliced steak or chicken, I actually kind of prefer it with ground meat! The little bits of meat get crispy and delicious, and it makes a really nice bite when served with rice.

These Air Fryer Salmon Bites are the best weeknight meal!

I think a lot of people might fall into one of two categories: 1.) Have an under-loved air fryer buried in their kitchen, or 2.) Would like to start eating more salmon but don’t know how to prepare it.

If you fall into one or both of those categories, this Air Fryer Salmon Bites Recipe was made especially with you in mind!

This recipe has a simple but flavorful marinade that results in the most tender salmon that you can use for bowls, salads, tacos and more!

Have you ever had Zucchini Grilled?

While sauteed and roasted zucchini are delicious, my personal favorite way to prepare this vegetable is on the grill.

If you’ve ever been intimidated by grilling zucchini, I can assure you that it’s easier than you think!

While many recipes require some precise knife work to cut each zucchini into perfectly flat slices, this one takes a much easier approach to cutting the vegetable.

Long spears of zucchini are super easy to cut and grill. We’ll also be adding a miso glaze for rich umami flavor with a touch of sweetness, elevating grilled zucchini to a whole new level.

These are the most juicy Grilled Pork Chops!

I think grilled pork chops are best when they are marinated first, and this marinade brings together acid, sugar, salt and oil to infuse the chops with flavor and moisture.

The versatile set of ingredients in this mouthwatering marinade results in a pork chop that pairs well with a variety of side dishes.

There’s soy sauce for the salt element in the marinade, but the end results are NOT pork chops that taste Asian-inspired.

There’s brown sugar, but the chops aren’t too sweet. There’s red pepper flakes, but they’re not too spicy.

The final product is simply perfectly juicy, satisfying grilled pork chops that you’ll want to make all year long. Let’s dive in.

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.

I’m pretty uptight about food waste. I cringe every time I find a half full but expired condiment in the door of the fridge that needs to be thrown away.

I try to keep a list on my phone that lists the ingredients I have in the fridge, and the date that they will expire, so that when I am meal planning, I can be sure to incorporate them.

Right now, the two things staring at me begging to be used are miso and gochujang (Korean chili paste).

The miso I’m getting through pretty efficiently by making a fresh batch of miso ginger dressing almost every week.

And the gochujang I actually bought to make salad dressing for an Asian shrimp salad. But of course, the 1-1/2 tablespoons needed barely put a dent in the gocjujang tub.

One of my kitchen mottos seems to be “when in doubt, make meatballs.” I love everything from General Tso’s meatballs to Greek chicken meatballs, but the Korean meatballs I’m sharing today are my current favorite.

You will love this Flat Iron Steak Marinade!

Unpopular opinion, but filet mignon is overrated. Yes, it’s very tender, but I don’t think it actually has that much flavor.

I much prefer a cheaper cut of meat, even if it needs a marinade. Cuts like flank steak and skirt steak can be SO tender and flavorful if prepared properly (and perfect wrapped in a tortilla with fajita toppings!).

And recently, I’ve discovered something called a flat iron steak.

Just like crock pot ribs, even with a homemade dry rub recipe, are a much cheaper but still delicious alternative to a big double cut pork chop, flat iron steaks are a more affordable way to get your beef fix. And dare I say, a grilled flat iron steak is way tastier than filet mignon, especially when paired with watermelon feta salad and potato salad with bacon.

Today, I’m sharing my favorite marinade for a flat iron steak. It’s very likely you can make this with ingredients you already have in your kitchen! As you’ll see below, just like homemade salad dressings like creamy feta dressing, it’s VERY adaptable for what you have on hand.
