I’m not lying when I say that this is the creamiest roasted red pepper pasta, dare I say, ever. It’s a beautiful, glossy, fire engine red and is downright simple to make – perfect for a Valentine’s dinner, or really any dinner for that matter. I’d…
Crispy on the outside and rich, tender and juicy on the inside is exactly how chicken thighs should be. This recipe one of my go-to’s for reliably creating mouthwatering chicken every single time, and with only a handful of pantry-essential ingredients, it is an easy dinner to put together at short notice.
Chicken thighs—especially if they’re skin-on—have more fat and therefore are less inclined to dry out, and that is also what ensures the skin crisps up as beautifully as this, holding in all of the flavorful juiciness of that rich, tender dark meat.
Chicken thighs have become more popular in recent years, and for good reason. The meat is less expensive than breast and it offers a rich, full flavor that makes it perfect for the classic flavourings I’ve used here: woodsy rosemary sprigs and bright lemon.

Step 1. Season the chicken thighs and add them to a cold cast iron skillet, skin side down.
Step 2. Turn the heat to medium and cook them without moving them for about 15 to 30 minutes. Reduce the heat if the skin begins to burn before it gets evenly golden brown.
Step 3. Turn the thighs over and stir in the lemon slices, and rosemary sprigs into the pan juices, tucking the rosemary under the chicken.
Step 4. Continue cooking the thighs until the meat closest to the bone is cooked through, about 15 minutes more.
Step 5. Remove the rosemary and serve the thighs and lemony pan drippings with lemon wedges.
Step 6. Enjoy!
Chicken thighs are a less expensive cut of meat, but are just as rich and flavorful as breast

Now this is a summer salad! People go wild for this Berry Caprese and it couldn’t be easier to make, making it the perfect addition to your Memorial Day festivities (or any really any entertaining at all!).
March. It’s a long month, am I right? It’s not quite winter, and it’s not quite spring. It’s the time of the winter when I start to lose my stamina for complicated, multi-step cooking, and want to pull out my tried and true foolproof recipes…
Okay, I’m excited about this.
This recipe, if I do say so, is a bit of a marvel. It’s based on the traditional Indian dish, Chana Masala but super speedy to make with only a handful of ingredients. I even surprised myself when I first made it, it tasted like it had been cooking for hours and was both hearty and nourishing in a way that only chickpeas can be. I thought to myself, “maybe we need to keep exploring more vegan recipes.”
If, like me, you want to incorporate more plant based meals in your life without being vegan or vegetarian, this is an excellent dish to try. Chickpeas are quite meaty, and along with cauliflower and Portobello mushrooms, are what I turn to most as the star of a vegan dinner dish.
I have a deep love for Indian cuisine, from their curries, naan, sag paneer, and yes Chana Masala. This riff has a touch less spice, a more creamy consistency that soaks into the chickpeas, and takes much less work and time while still totally delivering on flavor. Serve it with rice, or cauliflower rice, and some charred naan and it’s a feast any carnivore would be happy with. Just ask my husband.
Step 1. Heat a large skillet or pot over medium heat. Add oil and let it get hot.
Step 2. Add onion and let cook for 5 minutes, stirring.
Step 3. Stir in garlic and cook for 1 minute longer.
Step 4. Add turmeric, ginger, salt, and pepper and toast the spices with the mixture for 30 seconds.
Step 5. Add the tomato paste and cook, stirring, for 30 seconds more.
Step 6. Pour in 1/2 cup of coconut milk, being sure to use some of the hardened cream at the top, and bring to a boil. Add in chickpeas.
Step 7. Reduce to a simmer and simmer, covered, for 15-20 minutes.
Step 8. Remove from heat and sprinkle with lime juice and fresh cilantro. Serve over rice or cauliflower rice, with naan, and enjoy!
Step 9. Enjoy!
Chickpeas – What can’t chickpeas do? I use them often as a plant based protein packed staple, from soups and hummus dips to baked goods like cookies. They are cheap, and when bought in a can they indicate you are only minutes away from a filling meal.
Coconut milk – Coconut milk is another ingredient that can serve so many purposes, and does in my household. I use it to replace cream in creamy sauces like in this fan favorite pasta, in smoothies and baked goods, and in simple simmered suppers like these coconut spiced chickpeas.
Tomato paste – Tomato paste is another favorite ingredient of mine (three in one recipe, is it any wonder I am so excited to share this with you?). It’s got such incredible, concentrated flavor and adds a ton of personality to food. I use it as a base in that amazing pasta I mentioned above. It also gives your meal that “cooked all day” taste, especially when toasted a bit in olive oil and spices like we do here, while you and I know better.
