]]>Honey Garlic Glazed Salmon
Baking salmon in the oven is a foolproof method that requires minimal effort. For this recipe, mix 1/4 cup honey, 3 minced garlic cloves, 2 tablespoons soy sauce, and the juice of one lemon. Brush this glaze over salmon fillets placed on a lined baking sheet. Bake at 400°F for 12-15 minutes. The result is perfectly flaky salmon with a sweet and savory glaze.
Lemon Herb Butter Salmon
Pan-searing creates a crispy exterior while keeping the inside moist and tender. Season salmon fillets with salt, pepper, and chopped fresh herbs like dill or parsley. Heat a tablespoon of butter in a skillet over medium-high heat. Add the salmon and cook for 3-4 minutes per side. Finish with a squeeze of lemon juice and more melted herb butter for extra flavor.
Cedar Plank Maple Glazed Salmon
Grilling imparts a delicious smoky flavor to salmon. Soak a cedar plank in water for at least an hour. Mix 1/4 cup maple syrup, 2 tablespoons Dijon mustard, and 1 tablespoon soy sauce. Place the salmon on the soaked plank, brush with the maple mixture, and grill for 12-15 minutes until the fish flakes easily.

]]>Broccoli Soup
Ingredients:
- 1 head of broccoli
- 1 onion
- 1 cup of milk (if you don’t have a whole cup, top up your milk with water)
- 1/2 cup of cream
- 1/2 cup of grated cheese
- 1 tablespoon of oil
Instructions:
Finely slice the onion. Heat some oil in a pan, and then add the sliced onion. Cook for 10 minutes, until it is starting to soften. Roughly chop the broccoli, separating the stem from the florets. Add the pieces of stem to the pan first, cook for about 3 minutes before adding the florets. Cook for a further 2 minutes, before adding the milk. Season with salt and pepper and bring to a simmer. Slowly swirl the cream into the soup and stir through. Heat for another few minutes, before removing from the heat. Stir the grated cheese into the soup, before decanting into bowls and serving.
Creamy Pasta Bake
Ingredients:
- 1 cup of dried pasta
- 1/2 cup of milk
- 1 cup of cream
- 1 cup of frozen peas
- 1/4 cup of plain flour
- 1/4 cup of butter
Instructions:
Boil the pasta according to packet instructions, and then set aside. In a heavy based saucepan, heat the butter until it melts and then add the flour. Coat the flour until it starts to cook, don’t allow it to stick or burn. Remove from the heat and very slowly add the milk, stirring throughout. If there are lumps, pause and stir thoroughly to dissolve them. Once the milk has been added, do the same with the cream. When the sauce is smooth and velvety, season well with salt and pepper. Cook the peas, drain and then stir through the pasta. Stir the sauce through the pasta, and then transfer the mix to an oven dish and bake at 350°F for 25 minutes.
Sour Milk Pancakes

- Oil
Instructions:
In a large bowl, sift the flour and a pinch of salt. Make a well in the center of the flour, and break in the eggs. Whisk lightly, before adding the milk. Whisk until the batter is smooth. Heat the oil in a pan, and start cooking your pancakes.

]]>However, did you know that you can take your grilled cheese to the next level by adding ingredients that you might have never thought of to this simple sandwich?
• • This beauty is from the @blacksheepgcb restaurant inside of the Anaheim @packingdistrict ?? I ordered the “just kraft” grilled cheese sandwich (I know I’m basic) with tomato soup on the side… oh, and two pickles because I’m a huuuuge pickle girl 
The truth is that there are tons of delicious ingredients that you can add to make a tasty grilled cheese that goes beyond your expectations for one. These range from veggie to meat-based, and even to sweet!
If you are looking for a meat-based gourmet grilled cheese, we recommend adding buffalo chicken to a grilled cheese with mozzarella to make a delicious buffalo chicken grilled cheese.
Are you looking for something with veggies? Why not try sauteeing some mushrooms and spinach together and then toasting them inside a sandwich with provolone cheese to make a delicious plant-centric option?
Feel like something sweet? We absolutely love making a dessert grilled cheese by adding blueberry jam to brie inside a soft, white bread to make an absolutely spectacular sandwich.
The possibilities are endless. So, get cooking!

]]>Peanut Butter and Banana
Peanut butter and banana is a classic combination that works perfectly due to the creaminess of the peanut butter and the creaminess of the banana mixing to make a succulent, mouth-watering treat. We especially love this treat when toasted, as it makes the peanut butter and banana blend together in a warm treat.
Peanut Butter and Apple
Peanut butter is popular as a dip for apple slices, and you can also serve it on a sandwich. The crisp sweetness of apple works great with peanut butter, and we recommend sweet red apples like Honeycrisp as the variety to use.
Peanut Butter and Marshmallow Cream
This sandwich is for hard-core lovers of sweet things only. Peanut butter and marshmallow cream are two ingredients that, when combined, create a sandwich that is fit to be a dessert. If you can handle all of this sugar, you will probably love this combination.
