Soup Week, Day 4! Say hello to Miso Chicken Noodle Soup — a brothy, umami-packed bowl that’s pure comfort in just 40 minutes. 🍜

This one’s for all the miso lovers who prefer chicken over tofu 🙌🏼. I used rice noodles here, but it’s just as delicious ladled over fluffy rice—or even Miracle noodles if you’re craving something super light and lean. ✨ Cozy, nourishing, and full of flavor… this one’s going into the regular rotation.

Soup Week, Day 3! If you love classic tomato basil soup, this Greek-Inspired Roasted Tomato Soup with Feta is a fun twist you have to try 🇬🇷✨ 🍅.

Instead of heavy cream, tangy feta is blended right into the roasted tomatoes, onion, and garlic for a creamy texture and bold, savory flavor. A squeeze of lemon + a sprinkle of fresh dill take it over the top. 🌿 It’s simple, satisfying, and perfect alongside a gooey grilled cheese for family dinner. The kids are OBSESSED. Comfort food with a Mediterranean flair!

The Defined Dish Soup Week is here! First up, a family favorite - Pesto Parm Meatball & Pastina Soup! 🍲 Comforting, cozy, and absolutely delicious — this one’s on repeat in my house!

Tender little meatballs simmer in a cozy basil pesto–infused broth with the tiniest pasta (I used acini di pepe, but stellini or ditalini work too). There’s just something so lovable about those tiny pasta shapes in soup ✨

I stirred in my homemade Lemon-Basil Pesto (always keep some in the freezer 👌🏼), but if you’re grabbing store-bought, go with a fresh one from the fridge section — skip the pantry jars, trust me. 😉

My twist on a childhood favorite — homemade Gluten Free Protein Bagel Bites! 🥯✨ 🍕

These are everything you loved about the original, just a little more grown up (and a lot more wholesome).

We start with protein-packed mini bagels made from cottage cheese and gluten-free flour, then top them with all the classics — pizza sauce, melty mozzarella, Parmesan, pepperoni, and salami. They’re crispy on the outside, soft in the middle, and perfectly nostalgic in every bite.

This is SideDish’s very first collab and I couldn’t be more excited that it’s with my friend @primal_gourmet — aka Uncle Ronny himself. If you know Ronny, you know he’s a BBQ king, SideDish superfan, and a total wizard in the kitchen. So of course I had to team up with him to make the perfect paleo barbecue sauce.

It’s smoky, sweet, a little spicy, and honestly… dangerously good. We’ve already gone through so many bottles this summer grilling with friends and fam in the backyard. Ribs, burgers, salmon, grilled chicken — it makes everything taste better.

This one’s limited edition, so grab it while you can. Once it’s gone, it’s gone for good! 💥

BOUGIE BURGER NIGHT 🍾 These smashburgers with “special truffle sauce” are going to change your burger game 🍔✨ If you’re looking to make a switch to clean cookware that’s free from harmful chemicals, the @madein’s Carbon Steel collection is outstanding. This griddle is pre-seasoned + naturally non-stick, ready to start using right out of the box! Versatile enough to use outdoors on a grill or indoors on any cooktop this smashburger season!

Smashburgers with Special Truffle Sauce

Special Truffle Sauce:
½ cup mayo
¼ cup finely chopped cornichons
1 tablespoon dijon
1 tablespoon freshly squeezed lemon juice
1 tablespoon black truffle oil
Salt & pepper

Burgers:
2 pounds ground beef
Salt & pepper
6 brioche buns
12 slices gruyere

Serving:
Baby arugula
Caramelized onions
Cornichons

1️⃣ In a small bowl, combine the mayo, chopped cornichons, Dijon, lemon juice, and truffle oil. Season with salt & pepper to taste. Stir well, then cover and refrigerate until ready to use. This keeps well for 5 days.
2️⃣ Thinly slice 2 large yellow onions. In a large skillet over medium heat, warm 1–2 tablespoons of oil. Add onions and a pinch of salt. Cook, stirring often, until deeply golden and caramelized, about 30–40 minutes. Set aside.
3️⃣ Divide the ground beef into 12 equal portions (about 2.5 to 3 ounces each) and roll into loose balls. Heat a large cast iron skillet or griddle over medium-high heat until very hot. Working in batches, place 2–3 beef balls in the skillet. Immediately smash each with a heavy spatula or burger press until very thin. Season with salt & pepper.
4️⃣ Cook for about 2–3 minutes, or until the edges are crispy and browned. Flip, top with a slice of cheese, and cook for 1–2 more minutes, or until the cheese is melted and the patties are cooked through. Transfer to a plate and repeat with remaining patties.
5️⃣ Lightly butter the brioche buns and toast cut-side down in the skillet until golden brown.
6️⃣Assemble and enjoy!

Date night in just got elevated ✨ Treating ourselves to this Filet Mignon seared to absolute perfection, sliced and drizzled with chili crisp for that perfect kick. Those charred scallions add the most incredible flavor when scattered over everything!

This steak cooks beautifully in my @madein Carbon Steel pan—the even heat distribution creates that restaurant-quality sear every time. Get 10% off the @madein Carbon Steel Collection by using the link in my bio to save on your order. The quality is truly game-changing for home cooking!

Steak with Charred Scallions and Chili Crisp recipe below 🥩👇

Ingredients:
Filet mignon
Salt and pepper
Avocado oil
1 bunch green onions
Tamari
Toasted sesame oil
Chili crisp
Flakey salt
Crushed peanuts
Cilantro

How to make:
Remove the steaks from the fridge and let come to room temperature for 30 minutes, and preheat the oven to 400F.

Pat the steaks very dry and season generously with salt and pepper on both sides.

Heat @madein carbon steel pan over medium heat until very hot but not smoking. Add avocado oil to the pan. Increase heat to medium-high and sear the steaks on both sides until a golden-brown crust forms, 2 minutes per side. Transfer the steaks to the oven and cook until desired doneness, about 5 to 8 minutes depending on how you prefer your steak. I did about 6 minutes for medium/medium-rare on the larger filet. Remove from the oven and transfer to a cutting board to let rest for 5 minutes.

Cut your green onions into 1-inch chunks. Add to the same skillet over medium heat and saute until they begin to soften and get a little bit of a blister on the edges, 4 minutes. Set aside.

Slice the steak into thin pieces and lay on a plate. Drizzle with just 1 tbsp tamari and 1 tsp toasted sesame oil. Add chili crisp, to taste. Sprinkle with flakey salt and top with crushed peanuts and cilantro.

I served mine with a sesame-ginger salad, and some steamed rice! Enjoy!

Found myself a cowboy to mix up cocktails, and this one is my current obsession—an absolute MUST-MAKE! 🤠🍸

We’re calling it “La Palabra” because it’s an epic twist on the classic Last Word cocktail.

Traditionally, a Last Word is made with gin, lime juice, simple syrup, and chartreuse. But we gave it a bold, Mexican-inspired upgrade. Enter: La Palabra—Spanish for “The Word.”

✨ What makes it special?
🥃 Reposado tequila instead of gin
🌶️ Ancho Reyes (poblano chili liqueur) in place of chartreuse
🔥 A perfect balance of warmth, smokiness, and subtle sweetness
