From my kitchen to yours- the Everything Costco Steak Salad 👨‍🍳

This was one of those meals that looks like you put in way more work than you actually did! 🤫😂

Every single ingredient is from , even the tallow used to reverse pansear the steak. That’s always a win for me… one stop, in & out, especially when shopping with an independent 2 year old. 🫣

This was light, fresh, and filling. It has a good balance of protein, iron, fiber, and a lot of micronutrients without overthinking it.

My wife has already requested to have this again this week, which is the best compliment to the chef. 🧑‍🍳

Verdict for this meal:
9/10 Forks 🍴⚖️

If you want the full recipe + exact ingredients, just ask me & I’ll send it over ☺️

As always, thanks for eating with me. 💙🙏

I paid $9.99 for a surprise meat bag from Whole Foods… was this actually a steal? 🫣🤔

This is from the Too Good To Go app where you can rescue surprise bags of food that would otherwise go to waste from restaurants and places like Whole Foods Market.

Produce, baked goods, meat, prepared foods… even florals‼️

You never know what you’re getting, so it’s always a bit of a gamble!

Let’s see how I did…

Be honest- did I win or lose with this one? ⬇️

Nothing hits like a Heart Attack from on a hero at 3:21am after a night with great friends ‼️

If you grew up in Queens, you already know what Cristina’s Deli has done for us all. They’ve always been there whenever I needed them. After the latest nights, celebrating wins, mourning losses, dates, break ups, reunions, and everything in between... for 17 years at least, this sandwich was my comfort food & this deli has always been there. 24/7. Reliable. Consistently unbelievable. Even the day after my wedding, my wife and I grabbed a heart attack to share on the drive back up to CT. 🥲

Verdict: for me, the Heart Attack from Cristina’s always gets 10 forks 🍴 and without bias, this sandwich is worth taking a trip or detour for. 💙

Are you trying this? 👀
Air Fryer Egg Sandwich 🍳🥪
Fast, easy breakfast, almost no cleanup‼️

Here’s what you do:
• Take 2 slices of bread and press down the center to make a little well.
• Crack one egg into each slice.
• Add your favorite toppings. I used red onion, salt, pepper (& added avocado afterward)
• Air fry at 375°F for about 5–6 minutes.
• If you want cheese, add it on top during the last 1–2 minutes so it melts perfectly.
• Stack the slices together and you’ve got a quick breakfast sandwich.

Crispy bread, gooey yolk, tasty & it takes less than 10 minutes. Perfect for the busy mornings! 🫡

And as always…
thanks for eating with me. 🤗

Why spend the extra money on lobster?!🦞

With the weather warming up, tonight my family is requesting that I make my lobster roll inspired shrimp rolls & honestly it’s a meal that looks like it took a lot of effort, but is super easy to throw together!

🦐 I Used the Costco frozen raw deveined shrimp. They’re super easy to toss in the pan, sauté and cook through!
• Sauté the shrimp in butter or olive oil with garlic, lemon zest and juice, scallions, chives, and parsley until just cooked. (If the tails curl up too much, it’s over cooked)
• Lather your lobster roll buns with either Kewpie mayo or butter, dust with some garlic powder, and toast on a dry skillet on medium heat until golden on both sides.
• Load the shrimp into the bun and spoon the left over garlic lemon butter right over the top.
• Add whatever toppings your family loves! Our go to’s are crunchy onions, sesame seeds, scallions, chives, or just as is 😋

🥦 For the broccoli:
• Put it raw on a sheet pan with salt, pepper, lemon juice, and a splash of white wine (I usually steal whatever Sauvignon Blanc my wife didn’t finish)
• Cover with foil and roast for 15 minutes at 400 so the wine steams the broccoli and it absorbs all that flavor.
• Serve with crispy fries or whatever sides your family love!! I love doing a side that I can throw in the oven with the broccoli & forget about.

Simple. Fast. And WAY cheaper than lobster.
And as always…
thanks for eating with our family 🤗💙
