Quinoa Salad & Grilled Chicken

Knife & Fork Burger

"Go ahead and have that burger, just skip the bun entirely. But, it won't be the same, you say? You are right. It will be even better. Trust me. "

Pork Vindaloo Stew

Southwest Chicken Dinner Salad

"Perfect for after a long day when you'd just rather ride off into the sunset. Oh, and tequila is involved, so that should make you feel better immediately."

Cowboy Steak Salad

"Rough day of roping and riding? This one will tickle your sassafras. Tons of flavor, zero stress. Hop Sing would be impressed. "

Black-Eyed Pea Salsa

"Black-eyed peas might not immediately come to mind when you think about salsa, but go on, try it. I'm confident you'll be hooked."

Pico de Gallo

"Here's a stupid-easy way to cook potatoes with minimal prep time so that you can move on and do other things. "

Beef Stew

Gumbo

September 24, 2018

"I had previously been lead to believe that gumbo was hard to make because of the roux (it has to be dark!) So, here you go, a gumbo recipe that is easy to prepare and can be made the traditional way, or gluten free."
