Homemade pickled red onions are one of those things that once you make it, you can’t stop. They are so easy to whip up and add a delicious flavor to any dish. Add it to burgers for that pickled crunch and tang and your dish is instantly elevated. Add it to tacos and you will eat more than a few. It’s the unexpected ingredient you didn’t know your dish needed! I tend to make a medium jar of pickled red onions to use throughout the week, but feel free to double or triple the ingredient amounts and make more. Share them with friends and family!

It’s finally time to share with you my simple go-to chicken dish that can be served in many ways! You can prepare it the day before or make a bigger batch for meal prep for a work week. Use it as a main dish or serve with pasta, rice, salads, or roasted vegetables. The garlic butter sauce is bursting with flavor! My secret ingredient is using just a sprinkle of baking soda over cooking chicken to help the meat tenderize and brown nicely. I actually think it helps the chicken brown faster too!

When it comes to summer vegetables, zucchini tends to be one we cook with a lot. I bake it into muffins that my kids love to snack on. I add it to pasta with a creamy sauce for a light summer dinner. It’s delicious with chicken in my one-pot ratatouille dish. But eventually, I end up with too much zucchini on my hands and need to freeze it. The process is very simple and quick. So if you are like me, and like to stock up with seasonal vegetables, try freezing shredded zucchini. You will be glad you did!
