Pork Chili Verde (Green Pork Chili)
This pork chili verde was one of the first recipes I ever learned. It comes out great even if you don't brown the meat, but I think doing so always adds extra flavor, so I usually do it.
Heirloom Tomato Salad with Nectarines, Avocado, and Arugula
With farmers' markets overflowing with the most wonderful summer produce, what better way to embrace this seasonal bounty than a salad that combines fresh heirloom tomatoes, peppery arugula, white nectarines, and sliced avocado. A bright, simple vinaigrette of extra-virgin olive oil and white vinegar brings out the fresh flavors. A generous sprinkle of flaky sea salt tops it off!
Gluten-Free Almond Flour Chocolate Chip Cookies
Almond flour is the secret ingredient in these crisp and tender chocolate chip cookies. For chewiest cookies, enjoy these warm from the oven. If you prefer them a bit crisp, wait until they've cooled before biting into one (or several). Store any remaining cookies at room temperature - a cookie jar keeps them handy!
