This pork chop meal was absolutely delightful! Not only was it incredibly easy to make (in less than an hour!), but it was so perfect for a gorgeous summer evening. I'm not a big fan of cucumbers (I think I'm cucumber-traumatized from our huge ...
Sides & Appetizers
Potatoes Bravas with Lemon Garlic Aioli
Over this past summer, Justin and I kept making an avocado relish that tasted delicious on almost anything {more on the relish another day}. I particularly loved it on top of a Spanish rubbed steak but I was struggling with what side to make to ...

Sweet Corn Risotto
Way back in the day before Justin and I really learned how to cook, we would watch Food Network all of the time. We would sit there and watch these incredibly talented chefs make the most delectable and intricate dishes, always wishing we could do ...
