Chicken Fettuccine with Pesto Cream Sauce

This dish was lacking so much flavor. I used store bought pesto, HUGE mistake, and it was bland and B-O-R-I-N-G! Need to have a take 2 on this dish.

Pork Chops With Apples and Garlic Smashed Potatoes

I jumped the gun on my fall menu already! But I saw granny apples at the farmers market and decided, why not?!  I love showing pictures like this one prior to cooking to show all fresh, farmers market ingredients. It's my preferred way of cooking! 

Here is the final result! I do not use buttermilk in my potatoes, just regular milk. The apples are so delicious. This dish has the perfect savory/sweet balance.

Crispy Ginger Lime Chicken Thighs

Oh baby!  This one was G-O-O-D! I've actually made it 2x already.  Super easy and so tasty!  I baked them at 450 degrees for about 30 minutes rather than broiling.  Very happy with the results.

Pan seared Pork with lemon

This was too bland and basic for me.  It needed a kick of something else.  I did the potatoes separately in the oven.
