Skillet Pesto Salmon

This skillet pesto salmon is a one-pan weeknight dinner ready in 30 minutes and full of bold flavor! Fresh tomatoes cook down into a jammy sauce, finished with a swoop of vibrant pesto. Here’s an easy dinner recipe that I am obsessed with because it’s so full of flavor and feels so fancy, so it works for weeknights and date nights!. The idea came from Alex, who spotted a TikTok trend of steaming whole tomatoes in a skillet with onions and garlic. The tomatoes collapse into a jammy sauce at the bottom of the pan and it really is as good as it looks. It takes only 30 minutes, one pan, and it tastes like you put in way more effort! For the pesto, I love using my pistachio pesto, a recipe I developed after my parents came back from a trip to Sicily raving about the stuff. But honestly, any homemade pesto will work! Why You’ll Love This Recipe Ready in 30 minutes. This recipe fits into any busy weeknight rotation if you make the pesto in advance...

Best Blueberry Waffles

These fluffy blueberry waffles are everyone’s favorite! Topped with a tasty blueberry sauce, they’re brunch perfection on a plate. This is the best waffle I’ve ever eaten. I’m not even joking. This was a real quote from my sister after I whipped up a pile of these blueberry waffles for her. I had just bought a 5-pound bag of blueberries from a little Michigan U Pick farm. Looking at that enormous bowl of berries, my husband said, “Blueberry waffles,” I said, “Blueberry sauce,” and the rest is history! These waffles are fluffy, with pops of tangy berries, smothered in a thick, sweet tart blueberry sauce that takes them over the top. They’ve been a family favorite for years, and I hope you love them as much as I do. 5 Star Reader Reviews “We LOVED these, another hit!
