Sheet Pan Turkey Caprese Meatballs

September 10, 2018

I, just like everyone else out there in the universe, am obsessed with sheet pan dinners. They’re so easy to make and require practically no cooking (from you) at all. Just dump it all onto a sturdy baking sheet and let the oven do all the work for you. It really doesn’t get any better than that, especially if you hate cooking or simply don’t have much time for it during the week. If you recall, I’m no stranger to a sheet pan supper on this here blog. It all started with this Mediterranean Chicken Thigh situation that you all really seemed love. Then we visited New Orleans with this Sheet Pan Jambalaya number. Let’s not forget about the sausages and peppers, because I certainly haven’t. Then I took us to Peru with a Sheet Pan Lomo Saltado that I’m still dreaming about. Today, I figured it was high time for another reincarnation. Sheet Pan Turkey Caprese Meatballs complete with blistered tomatoes and crispy rosemary potatoes. It’s a complete meal that you can have on the table in less than an hour.

Cheers to the Weekend: Roasted Sheet Pan Lomo Saltado

June 1, 2018

It’s time for another installment of my favorite ongoing series on the blog, Cheers to the Weekend! A) because it’s the weekend (finally) and B) because it’s been a while since the last one went up and that just won’t do. It’s also time for another much needed sheet pan dinner recipe. If you recall, some of the other sheet pan wonders have been this very first Mediterranean chicken thigh situation, this sausage and peppers number and let us not forget that yes, you most definitely can make Jambalaya on a baking sheet—and guess what, it’s phenomenal. This time around I’m taking my favorite Peruvian dish and giving it that ol’ sheet pan one-two transformation. I’ve been obsessed with Peruvian food ever since my oldest sister dated a Peruvian guy in high school and he introduced us to this great restaurant by his house. That guy is long gone (and I’m kinda happy about it since we have the same name and it was a little weird), but my love for Peruvian cuisine is still going strong. This roasted sheet pan lomo saltado takes a classic dish and gives it a modern twist. It’s like a stir-fry basically, but the best part of it is the french fries in it. I’m a fan for fries in everything and anything. This one takes the cake. I hope you give it a try soon because a sheet pan dinner is always a good idea.

Sheet Pan Roasted Sausage and Peppers

April 21, 2017

I’ve been addicted to super simple sheet pan dinners lately, mainly because I’m kind of lazy to cook something time-consuming and extravagant these days. The warmer it gets outside the less time I want to spend in the kitchen. I’m just not feeling it, ya know? In case you’ve fallen behind on the times though, let me give you a friendly reminder, these Mediterranean Roasted Chicken Thighs and Sheet Pan Roasted Jambalaya were the last two sheet pan dinners I shared on the blog, and you guys really seem to like them so I decided to add another rendition to the rotation. It’ll give us a chance to build up an arsenal of super easy-to-make dinner recipes. We all need them.

This Sheet Pan Roasted Sausage and Peppers is beyond simple. I’m almost too embarrassed to post it because it kind of doesn’t require a recipe, but whenever I feel like this might be the case I talk myself out of it because I feel like maybe someone out there really does need this recipe?! I know my mom and sister are always asking me how to make this dish, so if nothing else, it’ll help them out! I hope it helps you out as well, when you don’t know what to make for dinner and want something stress-free, this is the way to go. Let’s all Cheers to the Weekend!

Sheet Pan Roasted Jambalaya

March 31, 2017

A couple of weeks ago, maybe even last month because I can’t honestly remember at the moment and I’m far too lazy to dig in and get the information, I posted a recipe for Mediterranean Roasted Chicken Thighs, do you remember? Aside from how amazing the flavors were in this particular dish, the greatest thing about it was the fact that it was super easy to whip up, which made it the perfect meal to make when you’re very tired and just don’t feel like spending hours in the kitchen slaving away. The entire dish, this one included, is cooked by tossing everything together onto a heavy duty baking sheet, throwing it into the oven and forgetting about it. I’m bringing this up because that post went over so well with many of you, and so I thought that I should definitely make another sheet pan dinner recipe for you guys. This one is inspired by my monthly trips to New Orleans to work with my friend Joy.

The thing you have to keep in mind when going into this Sheet Pan Roasted Jambalaya recipe is that it’s inspired by the traditional Cajun dish, but not actually the same as the original. It’s a play on the dish. This one isn’t very sauce-y or soup-y at all. Instead it features all of the classic ingredients like onion, celery, bell pepper, andouille sausage, chicken, shrimp and rice, and it’s all roasted on a baking sheet like a fried rice of sorts. This is a great way to use up leftover rice you might have in the fridge from a couple nights ago. This is especially good for me because I never know what to do with my leftover rice from dinner. I finally found a great way to use it up. Help me Cheers to the Weekend by giving this sheet pan dinner a try!

Cinnamon Roll Sheet Cake

October 4, 2017

I’m really into sheet cakes at the moment or sheet pies—aka slab pies aka the lazy person’s dessert—because they’re really easy to make and they yield an enormous amount which makes them great to feed a crowd…or satisfy a lonely party of one, depends on how you look at it. I’m not judging. This vanilla sheet cake is filled with a chocolate cinnamon brown sugar layer and topped with a fluffy cream cheese cinnamon buttercream, that when combined, all come together to create a cake that tastes *just* like a cinnamon roll, but so much better because it’s cake and I always have a soft spot for cake. I don’t even discriminate, I’ll take any and all cake. This one here, I have a feeling, will become your new favorite birthday cake to make for your family, for your friends, and definitely for yourself. Just don’t forget the ice cream. What’s a birthday cake without ice cream? A sad one.

Idaho Potato Empanadas a la Huancaina

July 15, 2016

It’s week two in our Idaho Potato quest to try and take over the world! I’ve been watching The Animaniacs on Netflix lately. Sorry. If you recall, last week I shared my exciting news that I teamed up with Idaho Potato to bring you a handful of new and exciting potato recipes in the month of July! It’s basically a partnership dream come true. Last week was a Wedge Salad with roasted Idaho potatoes on top. A salad with potatoes on it should be illegal, but thankfully for you and I, it’s not. So let’s make it now and let’s eat it all the time. Let’s also be thankful that such things exist. This week, however, I’m taking one of my family’s favorite Peruvian dishes (Papa a la Huancaina) and turning into something new and exciting. These Idaho Potato Empanadas a la Huancaina are the perfect party appetizer. They’re great warm, room temperature or cold and can be made in advance. Go ahead and be the hostess with the mostess. Show off your skills and your love of food with this delicious appetizer or snack. I’ll warn you now though and tell you that these are incredibly addicting. Don’t fight it. My noe piece of advice is, don’t fight it.

Just a friendly reminder that I’m also hosting a GIVEAWAY each week in the month of July for a signed copy of my book The Slider Effect along with a special prize. We’re on week two as well, and you have until tomorrow to enter for a chance to win. Head on over to these S’mores Eclairs to get all of the details! Also, if you’re in San Francisco or Bay Area, I’m currently in SF and will be at the Williams-Sonoma in Union Square this Saturday July 16th at 12pm doing a demo and signing copies of my book. I’d love to see you there! Stop by, grab a book and enjoy some free sliders. I’ll be showing you how to make my favorite slider from the book, Fried Zucchini Sliders and I promise it’ll be a real party. I hope to see you there! If anything, enjoy these empanadas because they’re out of this world and they’re calling out your name.
