I’m truly shocked how excited you guys were when

I’m truly shocked how excited you guys were when I posted my Mom’s Potato Salad on my stories last night 😂 I mean I love potato salad don’t get me wrong, but I thought it was more of a controversial dish… like 50% of people love it and 50% of people hate it. Anyway, pretty sure 100% of people will love this one. Anything my mom makes is a 10/10 🙌🏼 It’s even better the next day in my opinion.
.
Ingredients:
3 lbs small red potatoes
4 eggs
1 1/2 cup Best Food’s or Hellman’s mayonnaise (any works, but my mom insists on these brands)
1 tbsp dijon mustard
1/2 cup green onion, chopped
1/2 cup celery, minced
1/4 red onion, minced
1 tbsp fresh dill
1/2 tsp salt (+ more for boiling potatoes)
1/2 tsp pepper
1/2 tsp paprika
Instructions:
Fill a large pot with water and add the potatoes and a generous pinch of salt. Bring to a boil and cook until potatoes are soft, about 10-15 minutes. Drain and let cool. Cut them into small chunks and place in a large bowl in the fridge (or don’t if you like it warm!).
Place eggs in a large pot and fill with cold water to cover by at least an inch. Bring to a boil, cover and remove from heat. After 10 minutes, place the eggs in an ice bath for an additional 10 minutes to cool and stop the cooking process. Peel then dice and add to the potatoes. In a separate bowl, combine the remaining ingredients then add to the potatoes and eggs. Stir well to combine then top with a dash of paprika and sliced eggs if you want it to look ~fancy.~ Serve warm, room temp or refrigerate for a couple hours and serve cold. Makes A LOT like 8 servings.

PEACHES & GREENS launches today at @eatalfalfa 😍 I was so honored to create this salad recipe for their menu and although all of their salads are delicious, I think this one takes the cake 🍑 I am beyond excited that this collaboration is benefitting @bringchangetomind, an organization that means so much to me and my own mental health journey. So go get yourself a Peaches & Greens salad (swipe to see what’s inside) and help to end the stigma surrounding mental illness 💙
Event details will be posted on my stories so keep an eye out because spots are limited! It will be taking place on 7/1 at @eatalfalfa 🥳 I’ll also be there today eating my salad (and probably every day this week lol). SO EXCITED!!!

In honor of Father’s Day, I’m sharing my Dad’s Oven Baked-Ribs recipe that I made him for dinner 🥰 My mom taught me most of my cooking skills, but my dad definitely knows his way around the kitchen. These ribs are insanely tender and fall right off the bone. Literally my favorite food of all time 🙌🏼 They’re super simple to make and kind of impossible to mess up. The perfect summer dinner with some coleslaw and potato salad! YUM!
.
Dad’s Oven-Baked Ribs
Ingredients:
2 lbs baby back ribs, I got mine from Trader Joe’s
2 tbsp brown sugar
2 tsp chili powder
1 tsp smoked paprika
1 tsp garlic powder
1/2 tsp kosher salt
1/2 tsp pepper
1/4 tsp cayenne pepper
BBQ sauce of choice, we used @pappyssmokehouse BBQ sauce
Instructions:
Preheat oven to 275 degrees.
Remove the membrane from the back of your ribs (the ones from TJs have this done already, if you’re unsure just look up a video on YouTube there’s a ton!).
Pat dry with a paper towel and add the seasonings on with your hands, making sure to rub it in well.
Wrap in tin foil and bake for 2 hours, until tender. Remove the ribs from the foil and finish on the grill. If you don’t have a grill, add BBQ sauce and broil for 3-4 minutes.
For the grill, cook for 5 minutes each side, costing the top with BBQ sauce a few minutes before removing from the grill.
Makes 1 full rack of ribs which serves about 2 people!

TAKEOUT VIBES with this Crispy Orange Shrimp 🍤

TAKEOUT VIBES with this Crispy Orange Shrimp 🍤 Took the same sauce I use for my copycat Panda Express orange chicken and poured it over top some crispy shrimp. Wow. So freaking good 🙌🏼 If you’re feeling extra healthy feel free to just sauté the shrimp in orange sauce and skip the breading. Still delish! Make sure your pan & oil is EXTRA HOT when you add in the breaded shrimp. This prevents it from getting soggy. Nobody wants that!
.
Ingredients:
Crispy Shrimp:
1 lb shrimp, peeled and deveined
1/3 cup flour
2 tbsp tapioca flour
1/2 tsp garlic powder
1/2 tsp salt
1/2 tsp pepper
Peanut oil (avocado oil works too, but peanut works best)
Orange Sauce:
1 orange, juiced
3 tbsp soy sauce
1 tsp sesame oil
1 tsp rice vinegar
2 tsp sriracha or sambal
1 tbsp honey
1 tsp ginger, grated
2 cloves garlic, minced or crushed
1 tsp tapioca flour
Instructions:
Rinse your shrimp with cold water and leave them wet. In a shallow container with a lid, combine flours and seasonings. Add in your shrimp and shake in the flour until coated.
Heat a skillet over medium heat. Add enough oil to thoroughly coat the pan.
Once hot, add in the shrimp in without overcrowding the pan. You might need to do 2-3 batches. Cook for about 2 minutes each side until golden brown and crispy and cooked through. Place shrimp aside and rinse the pan.
Add in the sauce mixture and reduce heat to medium low. Let it simmer until thickened, about 2-3 minutes.
Pour the sauce over the shrimp and serve with rice and steamed green beans.
