If you’re intimidated by cooking fish, this Honey Glazed Salmon recipe is for you! Chungah of Damn Delicious shares her secret of pan-searing the salmon before popping it in the oven to finish. This salmon cooks up with a crisp honey-glazed exterior and a perfectly cooked interior every time.

Serve it with a side of rice, some veggies, and top it all off a browned butter lime sauce. Chung-ah says, “I won’t be the one to judge if you start guzzling down the sauce first. It’s absolutely heavenly, and the perfect complement to the honey crusted salmon.”

In addition to its deliciousness, this Honey Glazed Salmon is fast and easy to prepare, too, making it a great weeknight meal. Happy eating!

Sparkling sugared cranberries may just be the perfect holiday snack. They’re simple, seasonal and super easy to make. Guilt free? Sooooort of. They’re definitely better for you than the traditional southern style coconut cream cake I make each Christmas and they are definitely a gluten free snack!

In my opinion, November is a time to indulge in savory foods. Turkey rules the month, but let’s not forget about the stuffing, potatoes and gravy! Now that the calendar is about to flip to December, my focus is shifting to all things sweet. Cookies, truffles and cakes are on my mind this holiday season. When I saw these sugared cranberries, I knew they needed to be added to my December sweets roster.

“They’re incredibly easy to make with just 2 ingredients, and they’re perfect for dressing up desserts! Not only that, these tart and sweet cranberries are so perfect for holiday snacking. I’m sure even Santa would love these by the tree!”

Leaving sugared cranberries for Santa in lieu of cookies sounds like a California thing if you ask me, and I think I’ll include a few in treat bags I make for my neighbors, UPS guy, postman, gardener and pool guy every year. I’ll keep my traditional fat slice of coconut cream cake for Santa. ~ Betsy

As Jason and I are trying to stay away from red meat, we’ve been eating a lot of chicken, from this BBQ chicken salad to this easy lemon chicken. But as I still had a Costco-sized bag of lemons to use up, I decided to put them to good use in this pan roasted chicken.  Now when I say “pan roasted“, I mean a 2-step process. But there’s no need to be alarmed – it’s unbelievably easy and foolproof!

This copycat PF Chang’s mongolian beef recipe is so easy to make right at home in 30 minutes or less, and it tastes so much better than the restaurant-version, mainly because you get to control your salt and sugar content. Plus, the leftovers are perfect for lunch the next day!

VAL’S NOTE: I tried this with my family and it was a HUGE hit. I just switched out the soy sauce with tamari and I had a gluten-free meal packed with flavor.
