Tinsley recently was selected to attend a tasting event at Chick-Fil-A. She was part of an exclusive panel to help select their new summer salads (and was even interviewed to be in a commercial). One Tinsley’s favorite salads from the tasting was their Market Fresh Salad – filled with the flavors of summer. That inspired us [...]

This recipe is a favorite among our crew and is soon to become a favorite to yours. Now just one question [...]
Ginger Honey Cinnamon Pork Chops
It’s back to school time, which for most families means the start of a super busy schedule. Jason and I discovered that when our schedules get hectic, our dinners tend to get a little boring – spaghetti, herb chicken or kielbasa. Not that there is anything wrong with those options, we love all three, but [...]

This easy crab cake recipe is bursting with chunks of crab meat and tons of fresh flavor. Turn these beauties into bite sized crab cake balls and serve them as an appetizer for a cocktail party, baby shower, bridal shower or holiday celebration.

Pan Seared Pork Chops
Delicious doesn’t have to be complicated. This simple weeknight recipe will have the “other white meat” on your dinner table in less than 30 minutes. Looking for the perfect side to compliment this dish? Try our Potatoes and Sprouts or Garlic Lovers Roasted Broccolini.
Mediterranean Pasta
Take your palette on a Mediterranean vacation with this exquisite pasta dish. It’s perfectly balanced with tangy and savory flavors. We used whole wheat pasta to add a nutty profile and to bump up the protein. If you’re looking for the perfect potluck dish with a wow factor, this recipe fits the bill. Plus, you [...]
Garlic and Herb Chicken
This classic recipe is a staple in our house and we probably end up making our Garlic and Herb Chicken about once a week. We love it because it’s easy, which makes it the perfect dinner during the week. We pair it up a thousand ways – sometimes with a simple veggie, like our Wilted [...]
Golden Tilapia with a Cilantro Chimichurri Sauce
Take your taste buds on an exotic vacation with this classic Argentinian sauce. It’s fresh and bright with just a touch of spicy heat, and loaded with a ton of flavor. We love it with fish but it also pairs great with grilled skirt steak, roasted potatoes or fried oysters.
Banging Baked Ziti
As you all know, we love anything pasta. A couple of posts ago we had made an amazing Stuffed Shells dish and claimed it was our #1 favorite CookingShorts recipe. Well, move over Stuffed Shells because this Ziti is banging and it takes over the #1 spot (Tinsley’s opinion).
Dutch Oven Mediterranean Chicken
Hey good lookin’, I got chicken cookin’! Check out this gorgeous dish. It has to be one of the most visually appealing recipes that CookingShorts has created yet and one of our favorites. This recipe can take your taste buds on a Mediterranean vacation. It’s herby and salty, plus the lemons add the perfect citrus note to [...]
Carrot and Cauliflower Soup
Looking for a recipe with a WOW factor? Good thing you found CookingShorts because this recipe has it. The cinnamon in this soup gives this dish an amazing warm flavor profile that makes your heart smile. When we made it, the first word that came out of our mouths was WOW. Our Carrot and Cauliflower [...]
Lemon Cream Spaghetti
Pasta is a must in our house. Sometimes during the summer, I’m perfectly content with a bowl of buttered noodles with Parmesan cheese. When it’s a million degrees outside, the last thing I want to do is spend more than 10 minutes in the kitchen with the oven and stove on. I just want to [...]
Herb & Caper Fish
Looking for a simple fish dish that’s sure to impress? This recipe totally fits the bill. The prep is easy and the skillet does most of the work for you. The recipe is very flexible and works well with any white fish, so let the market price be the deciding factor as to what you [...]
Sausage and Roasted Veggie Pasta
I don’t know about the rest of you, but I used to think that sausage only had three primary uses: a pizza topping, a component to Thanksgiving stuffing, and a side for pancakes and eggs. I had never imagined being creative with this flavorful pork by using it as a cheap protein for quick weeknight cooking. [...]
Skillet Steaks with a Blackberry Herb Sauce
We like to treat ourselves to a romantic steakhouse dinner from time to time. We savor the juicy flavors that come from restaurants like Ruth’s Chris, Morton’s and The Palm. Their steaks are always perfectly cooked, and so tender you could use a butter knife to cut them. So what’s the secret to those mouthwatering [...]
