If you've never experienced eating a pasture-raised turkey, you are in for a treat. They are nutrient-dense, lean, and delicious. Roasting a turkey can seem like a daunting task, but once you get one under your belt your confidence will quickly grow.

If you are looking for a quick dinner or fast game-day appetizer to serve to your hungry crew, these wings will satisfy with a little bit of sweet and a little bit of heat. If you have an air-fryer, they can be made in a third of the time (just 16 minutes) making them a great week day dinner option.

While it may not be a perfectly authentic German rouladen, this dish is delicious comfort food ideal for the cooler temps. The Austrian mother of an ex-boyfriend taught me to make this simple dish back in the 1980's. The mustard and bacon give the gravy a yummy bit of tang and smokiness. Making this in the electric pressure cooker easily saves 30-45 minutes. Give it a try and I bet your family will be asking for you to make it again and again.

At our house, one of the most fought-after parts of a roasted Turkey or Chicken isn't the drumstick, wing, or breast. It's...the skin. Crunchy, crispy, and full of tasty spices, everyone is always grabbing for some of the prized skin during carving. Imagine my surprise when I found out I could get chicken skins from Wanda Farm. Chicken cracklings are simple to make and low in carbs. They can be eaten as a snack, or appetizer, or used to add some crunch to a salad or soup. I tested making the chicken cracklings in the air fryer and the oven. Both work pretty well, but I personally preferred the air fryer.

When farmer Hannah asked for a recipe made with their pasture-raised cube steak, I immediately thought of Hungarian Goulash. This is my take on the Hungarian Goulash dish my mother made during our childhood. I have amped up the flavor by adding more spices than she used resulting in a delicious hearty, flavorful, and nostalgic comfort food dinner.

With the temperatures rising, making ribs in an electric pressure cooker is faster and easier than heating up the house or standing over the grill for hours. Most people cook ribs low and slow in the oven, on the grill, or in the slow cooker. This recipe is made in the Instant Pot in half the time. A few minutes on the grill (or under the broiler) carmelizes the BBQ sauce for that delicious summer flavor.

As the name implies, the hanging tender steak is a tender and flavorful cut of beef. According to the Food Network the hanging tender steak, "comes from the plate (belly - right under the ribs) of the cow or steer. It 'hangs' just below the animal's diaphragm." Because this muscle doesn't do much work, it is incredibly tender, as tender as beef tenderloin, and full of delicious flavor.

Enchiladas are a Mexican dish traditionally made with corn tortillas, but my family also likes them with flour tortillas. The tortillas are filled with a variety of ingredients such as beans, rice, cheese, meat, and vegetables. Then they are rolled up and smothered with a red sauce and some shredded cheese. An enchilada sauce packet can be purchased and mixed with some tomato sauce, but those are loaded with preservatives and sodium. It only takes 5-7 minutes to make your own enchilada sauce with ingredients you likely already have in your pantry and spice cabinet.
