written by Rebecca

Prep Time: 10 mins | Cook Time: 4 hrs | Marinate: 2 hrs | Total Time: 6 hrs 10 mins | Servings: 4 people

Well-seasoned beef ribs that are slowly baked until juicy and fall-apart tender. These oven-baked BBQ beef ribs are loaded with amazing flavor and are the perfect dish to serve for entertaining.

Ingredients

2-4 tbsp olive oil

3 pounds of meaty beef ribs (grass-fed)

Liquid smoke, optional

1 tbsp garlic powder

1 tbsp Cajun seasoning

1 tbsp onion powder

2 tbsp dark brown sugar, packed

1 tsp paprika

1 tsp chili powder

2 tsp oregano

Favorite BBQ Sauce – I only used a few tbsp of Sweet Baby Ray’s

1 tsp salt can use smoked salt as well. (I used 1 ½ tsp because we prefer our ribs a little salty)

HOW TO MAKE OVEN-BAKED BBQ BEEF RIBS

Step 1: After rinsing the ribs, completely dry them with paper towels. If using, douse the ribs with liquid smoke, rubbing it in. Then, coat the ribs lightly with olive oil.

Step 2: Combine the seasonings and generously sprinkle them over the ribs (both front and back). Into the ribs, massage the spices, adding extra olive oil to assist distribute the spices well if needed.

Step 3: In a large ziplock bag or covered bowl, place the ribs. Put in the fridge to marinate the ribs for an hour or two.

Step 4: Prepare the oven. Preheat it to 250 degrees F.

Step 5: On a foil-lined baking tray, place the ribs in one layer. On top, add another piece of foil, creating a pouch for the ribs to cook in. Tightly seal the edges. On the middle rack of the preheated oven, place the baking tray and bake the ribs for about 3 1/2 -4 hours. Make sure to check on the ribs after the 3 1/2 hour mark. Drain the excess fat once the ribs are done and brush with BBQ sauce.

Step 6: For a sticky sauce, broil the ribs.

Creamy and Cheesy Chicken and Rice

by Rebecca June 29, 2022
written by Rebecca

Prep Time: 10 mins | Cook Time: 45 mins | Total Time: 55 mins | Servings: 8

Easily made this creamy and cheesy chicken and rice from scratch using only a few simple ingredients in less than an hour, and enjoy an irresistibly delicious weeknight dinner that your entire family will love!

Ingredients

½ tbsp fresh minced garlic

4 c. cooked rice

4 tablespoons butter

¼ c. white wine or additional chicken stock

2 c. low-sodium chicken broth

2 c. shredded cooked chicken breast

¼ c. all-purpose unbleached flour

3 ½ c. shredded cheddar cheese divided

½ tbsp fresh chopped thyme, optional

1 teaspoon kosher salt

1 teaspoon black pepper

How to make Creamy and Cheesy Chicken and Rice

Step 1: Prepare the oven. Preheat it to 350 degrees F. Lightly grease a 9 x 13-inch or 2-quart baking sheet.

Step 2: In a medium saucepan, melt the butter over medium-high heat. Once the butter has melted, whisk in the flour and cook for about a minute until the raw flour taste is gone. Then, gradually stir in the wine and garlic, stirring until thickened.

Step 3: Stir in the chicken broth, about 1/4 c at a time. Then, add the salt, pepper, and thyme. Bring everything to a simmer, stirring often, until the sauce has thickened enough to coat the back of a spoon.

Step 4: Adjust the heat to medium-low and add 2 cups of cheese. Stir well until melted. Turn the heat off and add the cooked rice and chicken. Stir again.

Step 5: Into the prepared baking dish, transfer the mixture, and top with the rest of the cheddar cheese. Place in the preheated oven and bake for about 25 to 30 minutes or until the cheese has melted.

Notes:

Thyme Leaves: You can omit the thyme leaves if desired or swap them with half tsp dried thyme leaves. I do not recommend ground thyme as the flavor is overwhelming.

Wine: It is optional but highly recommended for a rich depth flavor. You can also sub it with 1/4 c chicken stock if desired. For this recipe, I suggest a dry chardonnay or pinot grigio.

Garlic: If desired, you can cut the amount of garlic in half.

In a covered container, keep any leftovers and store them in the fridge for up to 3 days or freeze them for up to 3 months.

Make-Ahead:

Prep this casserole up for baking. Tightly tent with 2 layers of foil and store in the fridge for up to 3 days or in the freezer for up to 3 months.

Take the casserole out of the fridge and remove 1 layer of foil. Let the casserole sit on the counter while preheating the oven to 350 degrees. Then, bake for about 30 to 40 minutes or until warm.

If baking from the freezer, take 1 layer of foil off and bake for about 60 minutes at 350 degrees. Remove the cover and resume baking for 15 minutes more.

Crispy Chicken Burger with Honey Mustard Coleslaw

by Rebecca June 29, 2022
written by Rebecca

PREP TIME: 20 MINS | COOK TIME: 15 MINS | TOTAL TIME: 35 MINS | SERVINGS: 4 burgers

This chicken burger is a million better than takeout with crispy chicken, Honey Mustard Coleslaw, cheese, jalapenos, and crunchy lettuce on a toasted brioche bun. Do not be afraid to get creative. These burgers will guarantee the best burgers, no matter what!

INGREDIENTS

Chicken Marinade:

240 ml (1 c.) buttermilk

¼ teaspoon white pepper

½ teaspoon salt

3 large chicken breasts – sliced into long, thick strips

¼ teaspoon garlic salt

Crispy Chicken Coating:

½ teaspoon garlic salt

180 grams (1 ½ c.) plain (all-purpose) flour

½ teaspoon celery salt

1 teaspoon dried thyme

1 teaspoon baking powder

1 teaspoon paprika

1 teaspoon chili flakes

1 teaspoon salt

1 teaspoon ground black pepper

Honey Mustard Coleslaw:

4 tablespoons mayonnaise

1 medium carrot – peeled

1 tablespoon Dijon mustard

2 teaspoons lemon juice

1 tablespoon honey

pinch black pepper

⅓ white cabbage

Other Ingredients:

4 slices of Gouda cheese – I used the ready-sliced kind, or you can slice it yourself

vegetable oil – for deep frying

8 pieces of crunchy lettuce – I used the ‘O’ so sweet’ variety – but Romaine or Little Gem is great too

4 brioche buns – toasted

½ red onion – peeled and thinly sliced

1-2 jalapenos – sliced

How to make Crispy Chicken Burger with Honey Mustard Coleslaw

Step 1: In a bowl, place the chicken along with the buttermilk, salt, pepper, and garlic salt. Mix well. Cover the bowl and place in the fridge for at least 1 hour up to overnight.

Step 2: Prepare the oven. Preheat it to low heat.

Step 3: Heat the vegetable oil (at least 1 liter or 4 cups) in a large pan (or a preheated deep fat fryer).

Step 4: In the meantime, combine the crisping coating ingredients in a small bowl. Remove the chicken from the fridge and lift the chicken one at a time, letting the excess drip off. In the crispy coating mixture, dredge the chicken, making sure it is completely coated. On a tray, place the coated chicken and repeat with the remaining chicken.

Step 5: To the hot oil, add about 5 to 6 chicken tenders and cook for about 3 to 5 minutes until cooked in the middle and golden brown. Make sure not to overcrowd the pan.

Step 6: On a tray, place the cooked chicken and keep them warm in the oven while cooking the remaining chicken.

Step 7: Using a mandoline, julienne the cabbage and carrot. Alternately, you can thinly slice them by hand. Place the thinly sliced cabbage and carrot in a bowl along with the mayonnaise, mustard, honey, lemon juice, and black pepper. Mix well until combined. Tent the bowl and place it in the fridge until ready to use.

Step 8: To assemble, arrange the chicken tenders into four piles. On top, place the Gouda. Place inside the oven or grill for a few minutes until the cheese has melted.

Step 9: On four plates, place the bottom of the brioche buns and top with lettuce leaves and cheesy chicken pieces. On top, spoon the coleslaw and sprinkle with slices of red onion and jalapeno. Then, put the tops of the buns on top. Enjoy!

This garlic butter-baked salmon is an amazing sheet pan dinner that you can easily make in under thirty minutes. The salmon is brushed with a simple garlic butter sauce an baked with broccoli florets. A very easy, quick, and versatile recipe. Missing some ingredients, that’s okay.

4 to 6 c. broccoli florets

4 (6 oz. each) salmon fillets

GARLIC BUTTER SAUCE:

6 tbsp unsalted butter, melted

4 cloves garlic, minced

1/2 tsp dried thyme

Step 2: On the prepared sheet pan, arrange the broccoli florets and salmon fillets. On each fillet, rub the minced garlic and set it aside.

Step 3: Place the melted butter, brown sugar, oregano, thyme, and rosemary in a mixing bowl. Mix well until combined. Then, pour this over the salmon and veggies. Squeeze half of the lemon over everything and sprinkle with salt and pepper.
