Rosemary Dijon Chicken Thighs

Rosemary Dijon Chicken Thighs
When it comes to making meals for my family, I try to prepare dishes that are elevated in flavor, but will also be something that will interest my toddlers (and sometimes even my husband for that matter haha). Kids don’t always care for the fancy foods, but I truly enjoy introducing new ingredients to my family, and incorporating different elements to my recipes. So finding that balance is my mission in the kitchen. Chicken is like the most blank canvas you can get in the culinary world. It can so beautifully adapt to any flavor profile and can be cooked many different ways. It’s one my of most favorite proteins and I could eat it every day, truly. This recipe envelopes simple home-style cooking, while representing refined and gourmet flavors. The rosemary brings an earthy freshness, while the Dijon mustard adds a tangy kick. It’s completed with a rich buttery sour cream that just brings the whole dish together. If you’re looking for a perfectly balanced dish, this is it. I hope you enjoy!

Chicken Chorizo Tacos with Mango Salsa

Indulge in this spicy and tangy taco recipe, featuring one of our newest products, Chicken Chorizo! While chorizo can be used in a variety of dishes, with its cured and seasoned elements, I find using it for tacos is superior. While the chorizo is the star in this dish, let's not overlook the home made mango salsa. It may be the most time consuming part of this recipe, but it is worth it. The freshness and acidity compliments the spice of the chorizo so well. These flavors are sure to leave your mouth watering for more after each bite!

Bacon Jam Pork Sliders with Dill Pickle Slaw

I had heard of this thing called bacon jam a couple years ago and it definitely intrigued me. Don’t ask me why it took me that long to actually make it myself - trust me, after tasting it, I’m wondering the same thing. Bacon jam is a great and simple way to elevate the flavor of your recipes. In this case, I am using it as a topper for my pork sliders. Pork and more pork. Need I say more? It’s the perfect balance between sweet and savory. The caramelized texture and rich flavor makes it the best condiment for so many different dishes, sweet and savory alike. Pro tip, put it on top of some vanilla ice cream and your life will be complete. Bacon jam is technically a relish, so store it in an air tight jar in the refrigerator and enjoy for weeks to come. And you WILL enjoy it! This recipe is one of a kind and a combination of some of my favorite flavors. You really can't go wrong with bacon or dill pickle, am I right? The slaw really brings a refreshing element to this recipe and in my opinion completes it, but if it's not your gig, you can do away with it. I used ground pork and made small patties for this recipe, but you can most certainly substitute pulled pork as well. With that said, get to cooking so you can get to eating! Enjoy!
