Puerto Rican Canned Corned Beef Stew

This stew recipe is simple, easy, and quick with corned beef in a can and other common pantry items. The end result is delicious and satisfying. Serve it over white rice with sweet fried plantains on the side.

Oven-Baked Baby Back Ribs

These oven-baked baby back ribs are seasoned with a homemade dry rub, then glazed with barbeque sauce and baked until tender and delicious. If you're in the mood for a little virtual trip into summer, give this technique a try. It works with literally any dry rub and barbecue sauce combo.

Air Fryer Corn Ribs

These air fryer corn ribs are my fun take on Mexican elote. Cutting the corn this way causes them to curl up in the shape of ribs once cooked. This also makes the corn a lot easier to handle and eat, not to mention a lot less messy.

Pesto Pasta with Chicken

This chicken pesto pasta is easy and delicious. Serve with crusty bread and salad for a quick dinner. Use as much or as little pesto sauce as you like. Using homemade pesto will taste even better, but it adds to prep time. Enjoy!

Iskender Kebab

This Iskender kebab is similar to one I tried at a Turkish restaurant in London. It is traditionally made with lamb or doner meat but this chicken version is delicious. I later discovered that this dish was named after Alexander the Great, whom the Persians called "Iskender." Apparently, it was his favorite food.
