You know summer is in full swing when the peaches and peppers show up at the farmer’s markets! A sweet and spicy jalapeño peach marinade is the perfect way to take advantage of both. In this recipe I use bavette steaks, but this marinade would be delicious on any cut of beef, lamb, or chicken! …
Get ready to enter a whole new level of yum. Think creamed spinach on steroids (if the steroids were butter and brie and cream of course). I don’t think I’ll ever want to eat greens any way other than this again. I thought I died and went to creamy garlic heaven when I took the …
