I have even been struggling cooking for my family at night. I loved how fantastic this meal turned out. The best part was that it was ready in 30 minutes. I served it with a side of angel hair pasta and salad. This chicken had some of my favorite flavors in it. Basil, garlic, and balsamic vinegar. Then top it with some melty mozzarella cheese and it makes the perfect 30 minute meal....

I’ve been craving cinnamon rolls all week. Soft, buttery bread with crispy edges, heaps of spice and the best part – lashings of sweet icing. Whenever I make Lotte Duncan’s version with maple icing, they fill the house with the most mouth-watering scent of fresh bread. In fact, I love Lotte’s buttery cinnamon roll recipe so much, I used it as the basis for my Indian-inspired wreath here. The basic white dough is rolled with a shameless amount of butter, ground cardamom and cinnamon, twisted into a Finnish bakery-style wreath and placed in a hot oven....

Cuban cuisine is a favorite of mine and Ropa Vieja, which translates as “old clothes” is a dish I love. It’s traditionally made with shredded skirt steak, and served over white rice and fried plantains. I created this lighter version a few years ago using lean chicken breast instead, sometimes I even use boneless skinless thighs or a combination of both. You can serve this over rice, with baked tostones (plantain chips) and a salad, in a burrito bowl with Cilantro lime rice, Southwestern black bean salad, lettuce and shredded cheese or over cauliflower rice if you want to keep it low-carb or Whole30....

Chicken Yakitori Chicken Yakitori reminds me of my college days in Soho, living on a student budget. My girlfriend and I met after class a few times a week at this cute little Japanese restaurant in the Village where paper origami birds hung from the ceiling. I was broke, so I always ordered the chicken yakitori off the appetizer menu, which came with a bowl of white rice. This re-creation brings me back to those days every time I make them, but I added some zucchini for an extra veggie serving....
