Spatchcock Chicken with Miso and Sesame Seeds
Spatchcock Chicken with Miso and Sesame Seeds is butterflied and roasted, so it cooks evenly. The miso glaze adds a rich, buttery flavor and it's finished with sesame seeds, which adds a nutty crunch. You could also just cut up the chicken instead of spatchcocking it to make it easier.

Pistachio Crusted Salmon
This Pistachio Crusted Salmon is delicious. The salmon gets slathered in Dijon mustard and honey (I used hot honey, of course) and then dipped in the pistachios. I just checked and found out I have 78 different salmon recipes on my blog! We try to eat salmon once a week.

Jalapeño Popper Chicken Chili
This Jalapeño Popper Chicken Chili is made with ground chicken, jalapeño peppers, corn, black beans, cream cheese, and a variety of spices. The chili can be cooked in either a pressure cooker or a slow cooker; I have given instructions for both.
The chili gets its heat from the jalapeño peppers, but you can adjust the spiciness to your liking by removing the seeds from the peppers or by adding more or fewer peppers. The cream cheese adds a richness and creaminess to the chili, and the spices give it a depth of flavor.
The chili can be served with a variety of toppings, such as shredded cheddar cheese, sour cream, chopped bacon, and additional jalapeños. It is also great for meal prep, as it can be made ahead of time and stored in the fridge or freezer.

Simple Hand Tossed Pizza Dough
I have been making the same pizza dough for the last 20 years. The recipe actually came with my Cuisinart food processor. It makes a very thin crust. I have been experimenting with a more Neapolitan-Style crust. I found this recipe from Lori Monte, The Kitchen Whisperer. Her website is fabulous. I watched a 5 part video of how to make her dough. It seemed a bit complicated, but it was actually very simple. I used the 3 day cold fermentation method. So if you want pizza for the weekend, make your dough on Wednesday and pop it in the fridge. We make our pizza on our Big Green Egg, but you can do it in the oven or on a regular grill. The pizza turned out exactly as promised, which has great texture and an airy crust.
