Naked Chicken Burrito Bowl
I love to eat at places like Qdoba and Chipotle, so I created my own naked chicken burrito bowl recipe at home, minus the tortilla! This is very easy for a weeknight meal and is very filling and healthy; the recipe can easily be increased for more people.
Grilled Tomahawk Steak
This grilled tomahawk steak recipe is a showstopper, ideal for sharing with friends and family. This reverse-seared steak is cooked to perfection with an unctuous compound butter filled with shallots, garlic, and chives.
Hot and Spicy Pecans
These spicy pecans aren't too hot, but you can leave out the red pepper if you like them milder, or increase it to taste. These make a great snack or appetizer for the holidays, or anytime.
