I will tell you all about the dishes we tried in a minute, but first I wanted to give you a recipe to try. Tacos al Pastor. Amazing Tacos al Pastor that are on the table in an hour. Not even kidding!!! That’s the beauty of Milk Street. All the flavor, but they get it across the plate in the easiest way possible. Delicious minimalism.

I blogged about the book last week, too. Did you miss that one? Here it is! Vietnamese-Style Meatball Lettuce Wraps

A huge thanks to the folks at Milk Street and Voracious for letting me share this and two other recipes with you!

The new Milk Street 365 is amazing. It is huge!! It’s a giant collection of global recipes. Each one we tried was super flavorful with the least effort possible. Delicious minimalism. Love that! It’s the book I wish I’d been given when I was younger. Totally giftable book for the beginner and seasoned foodie alike.

All of it. They are even more delicious than they are cute. Love delicious, healthy, easy, pocket-friendly dinners and this ticks all of the boxes! The fish sauce really makes the drizzle sauce craveable.

Speedy Pork Scaloppine recipe – Pioneer Woman Cooks: Super Easy!

Cutlets, scaloppine, schnitzel… Call it what you like, but every culture has a version of these with good reason – they’re awesome! If you’re not sure you love pork chops, here’s a great chance to fix that situation, or you could use chicken if you really want to. Just don’t skip the sauce. It’s wonderful. It’s like a lemony gravy. She suggests “loaded crash hots” (loaded little potatoes). Asparagus and green beans both play so nicely with that sauce, though…

One of my favorite things about Pioneer Woman’s books that you might not be aware of if you’re just grabbing her recipes online are the “Variations” and “Change It Up!” sections at the end. Once you’ve got the basic recipe down, you can transform it into several different dinners. Niiiice. I’m including those here so you can get a feel for them and have all the fun and yumminess!

I told you all about Pioneer Woman’s new book, THE PIONEER WOMAN COOKS: SUPER EASY!, and shared recipes in my last couple posts. Missed them? Here you go! Thanks to William Morrow for letting me share them with you!

Mojo-Marinated Cuban-Style Pork recipe and Cookbook review: Instant Pot Miracle

Instant Pot Miracle is a super neat Instant Pot book with a huge range of Instant Pot recipes. It’s pretty much one stop shopping. We loved everything we tried. Note that we found the salt measures really light, and generally doubled the salt. You can tailor the sauciness level afterwards by pulling out the meat or whatever and reduce the sauce to your perfect level using the saute button.

We loved the Mojo-Marinated Cuban-Style Pork, so I wanted to share that recipe with you. It marinates for a day before you make it, so be sure to budget the time. The flavors are spot on. Delicious! I served it with rice and sweet plantains.
