As the holidays are coming to an end its is time to get back into work mode. One of my go to morning breakfast if the classic muffin. It is just so simple to make and easy to grab as you are walking out the door on a busy morning. These raspberry coffee cake muffins are insanely easy to make and soon enough your home will be filled the smell of fresh baked goodness. These raspberry coffee cake muffins don't just have one layer of great streusel topping, but has an additional layer in the middle that give an extra crunch (plus who doesn't like more streusel topping) and great flavor of the fresh raspberries.
So this Christmas season brought me into the crazy world of instant pots, since that is what Santa got me this year. As a chef for many years I have used all sorts of pressure cookers,steam cabinets and combination ovens that to the normal population will scare people but was everyday. These instant pots are all of high dollar equipment that was a day to day tool in my professional life into a small compact cooker that is going to make my life so much easier I believe. So the first thing I was going to do was make this chuck roast chili which will take hours if doing it on the stove top or in the oven, but in the instant pot it takes 35 minutes to cook. The flavors of the tender beef roast meat and the firm but soft beans in the chili infused sauce was incredible flavor and very hearty after a day playing in the snow.

The standard weekday meal consist of the same old flavors and tend not to be healthy and flavorful, it seems to be one or the other. This balsamic rosemary cranberry chicken is packed with flavor and only take one pan to make the whole meal. It only needs a few minute of preparation in the morning to marinate the chicken and about 30 minutes to cook at night. The tartness of the cranberries and the sweetness of the honey really complement the chicken amazingly.
A classic style of cookie is the sandwich cookie which uses two cookies and fills them with variety of different filling. In the holiday season it tends to be two sugar cookie with a jam filling. In these blackberry walnut sandwich cookies, I use two buttery, nutty shortbread cookies packed with finely chopped walnuts then filled with tart blackberry jam between. Then finished off with a dusting of powdered sugar. Check out the recipe below in this post.
Looking for a great meal for the holidays. These cranberry apple stuffed pork chops have a great sweet and savory flavor.

Brownie are the one of the most common desserts that can be loved at any time and these caramel turtle brownies are to die for delicious.

A great appetizer for a holiday party or a game day party is the classic chicken wings. These baked garlic parmesan wings are baked instead of fried but they still as crispy and delicious as ever and loaded with a mouthwatering butter garlic parmesan sauce. The key is to broil the chicken right after they are baked to get the skin super crispy and browned then toss them in the sauce right before serving them. They will be the hit at your next gathering.
