Jersey royal and brown crab salad

Jersey royals and crab are in season at the same time – and they’re the perfect pairing. Often overlooked in favour of white meat, brown crabmeat has a richer flavour, complementing the earthy potatoes beautifully. An indulgent potato salad, perfect for spring.

Our Favorite Green Juice

Juicy Lemon Chicken Thighs

These lemon chicken thighs are juicy, flavorful, and super easy! You will love the spice rub made with lemon, oregano, thyme, garlic, and mustard. We prefer bone-in, skin-on thighs for the best flavor, but chicken breasts or drumsticks work, too. For skinless chicken, add a bit of extra oil.

Quick and Easy Pasta Salad

This easy pasta salad recipe is flexible based on the ingredients you have in your kitchen or the season. Start with a hearty pasta shape with nooks and crannies to hold onto the dressing like rotini or penne. Then toss with our simple dressing and lots of colorful vegetables. We also love adding a handful of fresh mozzarella balls and parmesan cheese, which melts into the dressing. For more suggestions for what to add, read through our recommendations in the article above.

Spicy Shredded Chicken Sandwiches

The popular Vietnamese sandwich, the bánh mì, loosely inspires these spicy shredded chicken sandwiches! We love starting with a baguette that’s nice and soft inside. Before building your sandwich, remove a little bread to fit more chicken! For the chicken, use leftovers or rotisserie chicken. If you want to make shredded chicken for these sandwiches, I love this easy shredded chicken recipe.

Juicy Meatballs

This is our essential meatball recipe. It’s quick to make, calls on ingredients we always have, and makes delicious, juicy, tender, and flavorful meatballs. The recipe calls for one pound of ground meat. The meat you choose is up to you. We especially love using a combination of ground pork and ground turkey.

Easy Creamy Mac and Cheese

This is our quick and easy homemade macaroni and cheese recipe. It’s extra saucy and very creamy. It’s made on the stovetop and does not require any baking. That’s not to say that you could not bake it. We’ve shared how in the recipe below. Cream cheese is optional but adds tanginess and even more creaminess to the sauce. *In the video, we add the cream cheese after the cheddar, but since sharing and testing again, we now prefer to the cream cheese before the cheddar. Also, we use more butter, flour, and milk. Since posting that video, we received feedback that there was too much sauce, and after testing it ourselves, we agreed, so we’ve adjusted the recipe below. The method is the same, so you can still use the video as a guide!

Hoisin Sauce Better than Store-Bought

Hoisin sauce is a thick, flavorful condiment popular in Chinese cuisine, particularly Cantonese cooking. It’s added to stir-fries, marinades, and glazes (think Peking duck!). I find store-bought hoisin sauce too sweet, salty, and thick. Once you try this homemade hoisin sauce recipe, you’ll never need to buy it from the store again.

Techniques

Easy Green Chicken Enchiladas

These salsa verde chicken enchiladas are easy and incredibly delicious. You can use store-bought green chile enchilada sauce or salsa verde for this recipe. I like the options from Hatch, Las Palmas, and Frontera. Or, to make it from scratch, try this homemade salsa verde made with tomatillos, green chile peppers, and garlic (it’s amazing).
