This week’s recipes:

Penne Alla Vodka on a dinner plate

Penne alla Vodka

(30 min) This is the kind of pasta that tastes like it came from your favourite Italian restaurant — but you made it at home on a Tuesday. Rich, silky, and deeply satisfying, it’s going to become a regular in your dinner rotation.

See Recipe
Three seasoned cast iron chicken breasts sizzle in a skillet, each topped with a dollop of herb butter.

Juicy Cast Iron Chicken Breast

(30 min) If you’ve ever ended up with dry, flavourless chicken breast, this recipe is the fix. A screaming hot cast iron pan and a generous knob of herb butter are all it takes to get juicy, golden chicken on the table in 30 minutes.

See Recipe
A plate of creamy chicken with diced tomatoes and herbs, served with mashed potatoes and green beans—perfect for anyone who loves an easy pork chops recipe or the flavors of Marry Me Pork Chops.

Marry Me Pork Chops

(25 min) The name says it all. Tender pork chops in a creamy sun-dried tomato sauce — this one is impressive enough for company but easy enough for a Wednesday night. Serve it over mashed potatoes and prepare for compliments.

See Recipe
A plate of Strawberry Arugula Salad with strawberries, honey candied sunflower seeds, red onion, and goat cheese is arranged on a white surface.

Strawberry Arugula Salad

(20 min) This salad is a total showstopper. Peppery arugula, sweet strawberries, and those irresistible candied sunflower clusters make it the kind of side dish people ask for the recipe before the main course is even finished.
