Green beans in creamy parmesan sauce

This recipe transforms your plain old green beans into a highly addicting side.

Baked mushroom rice

Pasta is never served plain, so I don’t get why we always serve rice plain!

Ditch the boring white rice and go for this baked mushroom rice instead.

As the mushrooms bake, they release their juices into the rice and each grain becomes infused with a delicious umami flavor.

Why we love this recipe: it requires zero hands-on cooking.

What sauce goes well with steak bites?

I think the best sauce for steak bites is a simple garlic butter. But I also recommend a salsa verde for a chimichurri sauce for a more zesty combination. For an Asian twist, go for teriyaki sauce. Or for something traditional, go for a red wine reduction or a peppercorn sauce.
