A Summery Corn Salsa Recipe

Corn salsa that's much better than Chipotle! It's a healthy dip that also doubles well as a side dish.

Fresh corn and bell pepper are fire roasted over a hot grill or gas stove flame for a beautiful smokey char, then it's tossed with a colorful plethora of other complementary fresh Mexican-style ingredients.

It has such a tantalizing blend of flavors that's is makes the perfect chip dip, or its delicious served over salmon, shrimp, chicken or beef (we love the salmon option).

Plus it's a versatile salsa with lots of ways to switch things up (see ideas below).

It's best made in season when you can get prime sweet yellow corn, but during the colder months try it with frozen corn too.

Homemade Chicken Burrito Bowl Recipe

Plus, it’s easy to customize and great to make ahead of time for meal prep. You’ll find this chicken burrito bowl recipe is the perfect option to feed a crowd, pack for lunch, or whip up for a quick weeknight meal. 

In fact, these burrito bowls are so tasty you may never go back to restaurant versions again! I’ll show you how to cook, assemble, and store them for easy meals whenever a craving hits. 

One Pot Chili Mac

This is the perfect sweater weather recipe! It's hearty, homemade comfort food that's brimming with flavor and it's just the dinner friends and family of all ages will love on a cold day.

One thing I think you'll really appreciate about this recipe is that many of the ingredients are things you may likely already have on hand, especially if you keep a pack or two of ground beef stashed away in the freezer.

And just like regular chili it's so versatile so you can swap in other ingredients you have on hand for those you don't (see ideas below for substitutes). I've added carrots to chili before so really just about anything goes.

Then top it as you'd like with all your favorite toppings. You can't go wrong with a sprinkle of green onions and more cheese!

Our Favorite Vegetarian Black Bean Burger!

When we think of vegetarian burgers we often think of those mediocre, flavorless or dry burgers we've had that left us wishing we had made a different meal choice.

These black bean burgers will actually leave you wondering why you haven't had black bean burgers on regular rotation on your dinner menu for years. And you'll love that the food processor does most of the work!

The great thing about these is that they don't weigh you down the way a greasy hamburger does. It's something you can feel good about eating.

This black bean burger isn't dry, it has plenty of flavor and even some richness to it (thanks to the mayo and egg yolks), and the oats and peppers give it a bit of texture. Believe it or not even my kids love these.

They're best served shortly after they've been freshly pan fried and those exterior edges are nice and crisp, though it makes a batch of six and extras will reheat decently well (with a bit of olive oil just in the microwave) when you need a quick lunch.

Our favorite way to eat them is actually bun-less with a small mound of tasty toppings (like cheese, avocado, tomatoes, and salsa), but just like with a regular hamburger you can serve them up however you'd like.

The Best Fish Tacos with Salmon

When you want a quick dinner that doesn't skimp on flavor these salmon tacos are an excellent choice!

They are layered with an abundance of fresh Baja-style flavor.

You get that classic masa taste from the tortilla, the complexity of well seasoned salmon in the filling, vibrant lime and creamy richness from the taco slaw, and a highlight of herbaceous finish from the cilantro.

And I think you'll appreciate the layering of a trio of textures - including a soft and chewy tortilla, buttery salmon, and crunchy cabbage.

It's all the perfect blend and a dish fit for company!

Many of you have had classic stuffed peppers and these are similar but with a Southwestern flavor and poblano peppers (aka pasilla peppers) are used instead of bell peppers. Plus these are a bit of a healthier option too.

They come together easily and no boiling is required beforehand. You'll just bake the peppers until they start to soften and while they bake you make the filling in a skillet on the stovetop. Then stuff the peppers and finish them off in the oven.

You really don't need much else to serve with them, though if you wanted something else you can't go wrong with tortilla chips, salsa and guacamole.

The key here is just to find the larger poblano peppers at the grocery store (those little ones wont fit much filling), and I like to find some that will sit flat on each side if possible.

Eat them on their own or there's also a recipe included to use them as a tasty taco filling.

Versatile Avocado Fries

You'll love the crispy crunchy exterior and creamy rich interior along with that hint of seasoned flavor found in these avocado fries.

They are such a delicious appetizer, side dish, or with a few additions can be converted into a main dish.

You can enjoy them on their own, serve with a dip, or use them in vegetarian tacos, breakfast tacos, tostadas, or salads.

My favorite way to use them is the taco option. It's a fun take on a classic and has such a nice variety of textures and crave-able flavors!

Some may think a vegetarian taco can be boring but these are anything but! No one will miss the meat in the slightest.

A delicious dish to learn how to make and a restaurant quality recipe you can enjoy at home! It's one of those things you'll soon have on repeat.

Easy Ground Turkey Tacos Recipe

Weeknights usually call for quick recipes, like these simple turkey tacos.

They have a quick prep and can be ready in 30 minutes! We even simplify with a store-bought salsa to save time, and you could also go the pre-shredded lettuce and pre-shredded cheese route for more short-cuts.

Or just assign help with toppings to a family member or friend if they'll get to enjoy the meal too and you can have dinner ready in a flash!

These healthy turkey tacos are definitely an upgrade from your standard taco seasoning packet tacos. The secret is to add some freshness (bright salsa, garlic, cilantro) and your own blend of spices.

It's a recipe destined to become a regular on the dinner menu!
