Cooking with Kristin

Who isn't ready for the sun to came back and to BBQ and drink on the patio??? We are enjoying a "work on the house" staycation next week. Which means grilling time! This last week we ate out a couple nights so I've still go steak to cook up somehow and salmon cakes. The Mediterranean salad for the week was great! Craig loved the empanadas! I'm also obsessed with my Sunday meal prep frittata for the week! This week we'll be doing some grilling of course! I also have to balance out that meat with some vegetarian of course. Gaby's Ribs! So excited for these! I'll probably pair them with some slaw and grilled corn. https://whatsgabycooking.com/spicy-baby-back-ribs/ Burgers of course!! You know me, Beyond burgs :) with some watermelon and baked fries Bring on the veggies with Zucchini Parm Pasta - I can't wait till our zucchini in our garden grows and we can use our own. https://www.halfbakedharvest.com/simplest-z...

Whoopsie! I'm behind! So you get TWO weeks of meals plans put together! This week we've been enjoying: Beyond Burgers - honestly we make these once a week. They're so easy and so good! They're in hot demand now! Our Haagen store is sold out until like mid July! Amazon Fresh and Whole Foods are the main stores they're distributing to. Instant Pot Pulled Pork Sammies -  https://www.foodnetwork.com/recipes/food-network-kitchen/instant-pot-barbecue-pulled-pork-sandwiches-3649647 Made these last night with some corn on the cob, watermelon, and slaw from Gaby's cookbook. Perfect summer night meal! The pork was so good! Roasted Veggie Orzo -  https://vanillaandbean.com/lemon-garlic-orzo-with-roasted-vegetables/ This is another popular rotater in our house. You can add whatever veggies you like. Craig doesn't like mushrooms so I usually do extra asparagus. Freezer Enchiladas! I made Gabys enchiladas a few weeks back and froze half of them. So so easy to ...

Last week we didn't make everything we planned on so those will carry over to this week. Meeting Gaby was SO FUN! I can't wait to cook out of her cookbook. Also very very sad about Anthony Bourdain. Craig got his cookbook for Christmas last year so we'll definitely be cooking out of that one. I added a new recipe this week on the fly, the empanadas were amazing. That dough is just the best! Here are some highlights from the week: We didn't make the pasta or the korean tacos so we'll try and get those in this week or at least use the meat for something else. It's going to be a busy week with late night work stuff so we won't be having many dinners at home this week. I will however be making another frittata! Those are perfect for breakfast for the whole week! On the menu: Pizza paninis - I'll be making the skinny taste dough for mine but Craig is making a sammy.

EMPANADAS!! This last minute recipe idea was so good and so worth the little bit of effort. Dinner on the patio with wine of course. Hello summer! https://www.skinnytaste.com/taco-empanadas/

Also comes with a copy of her new cookbook. Yay more new recipes! This week we're having: We're not cooking this but going to our friends to make pizzas on the Big Green Egg! We might just have to buy an egg. We've been eyeing them for awhile.. https://biggreenegg.com/pizza/ Spicy Pesto Asparagus and Ricotta Pasta https://www.halfbakedharvest.com/spicy-pesto-asparagus-and-ricotta-pasta-with-crispy-prosciutto/ Koren Tacos https://pinchofyum.com/instant-pot-korean-beef-tacos Instant Pot Quinoa Bowls (one of our fav instant pot meals) https://detoxinista.com/instant-pot-vegan-quinoa-burrito-bowls/ Meatball Subs!!
