So naturally, we had to make our own version at home. - [Mulligatawny Soup](https://sammymontgoms.com/mulligatawny-soup/): This Mulligatawny Soup is one of my mom’s go-to soups. It’s honestly a hug in a bowl, and there’s so much going on in it—in the best way. You’ve got chicken, red lentils, potatoes, and apple, which adds a little sweetness that works so well with the spices. - [Sheet Pan Pierogis and Kielbasa](https://sammymontgoms.com/sheet-pan-pierogis-and-kielbasa/): If you've got a bag of frozen pierogis in the freezer, dinner is pretty much already handled. This Sheet Pan Pierogis and Kielbasa recipe is hearty and cozy, it all comes together on one tray, and it leans on spices you probably already have in the cupboard. It's a great one to have in your back pocket for nights when there's a hungry table to feed and you don't have a lot of energy to give. Pile it into bowls, add a big spoonful of sour cream, and everyone's happy. - [Canned Salsa Recipe](https://sammymontgoms.com/canned-salsa-recipe/): If you've ever grown too many tomatoes and had no idea what to do with all of them, this is your answer. This Homemade Canned Salsa Recipe turns a mountain of tomatoes, peppers, and onions into eighteen jars of salsa you'll be working through all winter. It's smoky, a little spicy, and better than anything you'd grab off a grocery shelf. Make a batch now and future you will be very grateful come January when all you want is tomatoes. - [Cabbage Hamburger Helper](https://sammymontgoms.com/cabbage-hamburger-helper/): If hamburger helper was part of your childhood, this Cabbage Hamburger Helper is going to win you over as an adult. It has all that same cheesy, saucy, comforting appeal, but swapping in cabbage for pasta keeps things lighter without losing any of the flavour. It comes together in one pan in under 30 minutes, which makes it an easy pick for busy weeknights when you still want something that tastes like a real dinner. - [Gingerbread Cake](https://sammymontgoms.com/gingerbread-cake/): Most gingerbread recipes lean on molasses for that deep sweetness, but my Gingerbread Cake swaps it out for honey instead. I like it better this way. It keeps things lighter and lets the fresh ginger and warm spices come through instead of getting buried. There's no mixer involved anywhere in this process, so everything gets whisked together by hand in about the time it takes your oven to preheat, and the batter goes straight into the pan from there. - [Chocolate Zucchini Bread](https://sammymontgoms.com/chocolate-zucchini-bread/): If you've got zucchini piling up on the counter and no real plan for it, this is where it should go. Chocolate Zucchini Bread takes a veggie and turns it into a loaf that's rich, moist, and warmly spiced enough that you'll forget it's in there at all. Slice it up for breakfast, pack a piece for an after lunch treat, or just eat it like a raccoon rummaging through the trash. - [Cinnamon Coffee Cake](https://sammymontgoms.com/cinnamon-coffee-cake/): This Cinnamon Coffee Cake is soft, packed with warm spice, and topped with a crunchy, buttery crumble that makes it good enough for a weekend brunch spread or just a lazy morning at home with a cup of coffee. It comes together with basic pantry ingredients, so there's no special trip to the grocery store required, and it bakes up in one pan with very little cleanup. It truly can't get any better unless I hand delivered it to you. - [Jalapeño Popper Chicken with Crispy Breadcrumbs](https://sammymontgoms.com/jalapeno-popper-chicken-with-crispy-breadcrumbs/): I first made this recipe about 15 years ago, and everyone loved it so much that it’s been a family staple ever since. My mom makes it, I make it, and my partner makes it from time to time too. It’s one of those reliable dinners we keep coming back to because it’s comforting and just so delicious. If you love jalapeño poppers, I have a feeling this one’s going to be a favourite. - [Spaghetti Frittata with Parmesan & Crushed Red Pepper Flakes](https://sammymontgoms.com/spaghetti-frittata-with-parmesan-crushed-red-pepper-flakes/): This is the kind of Italian kid staple that just feels like home. You take that leftover spaghetti everyone’s always got in the fridge, toss it with eggs, parmesan, and a pinch of red pepper flakes- super simple, really tasty, and a little nostalgic in the best way possible. Who is going to try this one? - [Grilled Pineapple with Malibu and Coconut Milk](https://sammymontgoms.com/grilled-pineapple-with-malibu-and-coconut-milk/): My dad made this grilled pineapple years ago, and we all agreed it was one of the best things we had all ever tried. It’s so simple. Pineapple marinated in coconut milk and Malibu, then grilled. And the best part? Even after a big meal, it still feels light and refreshing. Add some vanilla ice cream on the side and a little cinnamon, and it’s honestly heavenly. Make this, then email me and tell me how you like it please! - [Lemon Meringue Pie Recipe](https://sammymontgoms.com/lemon-meringue-pie-recipe/): Looking for a good Lemon Meringue Pie recipe? Lemon meringue pie has a bit of a reputation for going wrong. There are a few different ways, including weepy meringue, runny slices, or a soggy crust. Most of that comes down to one missing step which is cooking a quick sugar and cornstarch syrup and folding it into the egg whites instead of whipping them with plain sugar. That syrup is what turns a decent meringue into a tall, glossy, stable one that actually holds its shape. My mom has been using this Betty Crocker recipe for ages, and for good reason. - [Fried Mashed Potato Balls](https://sammymontgoms.com/fried-mashed-potato-balls/): I don't know about your house, but leftover mashed potatoes have a way of just sitting in the fridge until someone finally breaks down and eats them or tosses them. But I've got something better for what to do with leftover mashed potatoes: these Fried Mashed Potato Balls. Cold mashed potatoes get mixed with goat cheese and chives, rolled into balls, and coated in a crispy panko shell before a quick fry turns the outside golden and crunchy while the inside stays warm and creamy. - [One Pot Sausage and Fennel Pasta](https://sammymontgoms.com/one-pot-sausage-and-fennel-pasta/): This one-pot pasta is a take on Ina Garten’s sausage and fennel rigatoni. When I saw my friend Claire, from Here's Your Bite turn it into a one-pot version, I knew I had to make it. One Pot Sausage and Fennel Pasta builds a whole dinner around sausage and, you guessed it, fennel. Between the browned sausage, the fennel and shallot, the delicious tomato base, al dente pasta, a splash of cream and some parmesan this is going to be one dinner you'll be putting on repeat. - [Homemade Chicken Nuggets](https://sammymontgoms.com/homemade-chicken-nuggets/): Ground chicken has a habit of drying out fast, but soaking breadcrumbs in milk before mixing it in, like I do with these Homemade Chicken Nuggets, solves that completely. This keeps every nugget tender in the middle while the outside turns golden from a parmesan breadcrumb crust. Whether you bake them, air fry them, or pan fry them in a bit of oil, you'll end up with the same crisp coating and juicy centre every time. - [Savoury Breakfast Muffins](https://sammymontgoms.com/breakfast-muffins/): These Savoury Breakfast Muffins get their tender crumb from simple, but important step: melting the butter instead of creaming it, then whisking it straight into the wet ingredients. That keeps these muffins soft and moist days later while the sharp cheddar and crispy bacon brings the flavour and texture. - [Homemade Cereal](https://sammymontgoms.com/homemade-cereal/): This Homemade Cereal comes together when you boil the honey, coconut oil, and cocoa on the stove first, so every bit of puffed wheat gets coated before it even goes into the oven. It's basically the same idea as a granola bar, except once it bakes and cools, it snaps apart into crunchy, chocolatey clusters instead of staying in one solid slab. - [Breakfast Bars](https://sammymontgoms.com/breakfast-bars/): This no-bake Breakfast Bars recipe comes together in one pot and one bowl—you never have to turn the oven on! The biggest step is getting the peanut butter, honey, and brown sugar to a proper simmer before you fold in the Rice Krispies. Once that's done, this recipe turns into breakfast bars that actually hold their shape and slice nice and clean. - [One Pan Caramelized Onion Pasta](https://sammymontgoms.com/one-pan-caramelized-onion-pasta/): This One Pan Caramelized Onion Pasta swaps the usual stirring at the stove for a hands-off trip through the oven. Three onions and a whole bulb of garlic roast together until golden, then get mashed straight into a warm cream and parmesan sauce that coats every piece of pasta. This pasta dish is rich, savoury, and comes together with a lot less effort than a classic caramelized onion dish usually requires. - [Saucy Unstuffed Pasta Shells with Italian Sausage & Creamy Rośe](https://sammymontgoms.com/unstuffed-pasta-shells/): This Saucy Unstuffed Pasta Shells with Italian Sausage & Creamy Rosé is what happens when you love stuffed shells but have zero interest in piping ricotta into a bunch of individual shells. With this dish, you get the same big, shells and same delicious red sauce, except everything goes into one pot and cooks together. The sausage browns, the shells simmer cook in the tomato sauce and stock, and a pour of cream at the end turns the sauce into a delicious and creamy rosé. - [Chicken Parm with Creamy Rosé](https://sammymontgoms.com/chicken-parm/): Regular chicken parm is delicious but let's elevate it! It on a straightforward marinara, but swapping in a rosé sauce changes everything. The heavy cream mellows out the acidity of the tomatoes and gives the sauce a richer, silkier texture. Finished with fresh mozzarella, parmesan cheese and fresh basil. Serve with pasta, of course. - [Malfatti with Brown Butter and Crispy Sage](https://sammymontgoms.com/malfatti-with-brown-butter-and-crispy-sage/): Sometimes the most comforting dishes are the ones that are meant to be a little imperfect. Malfatti translates to 'badly formed,' so don't worry about making each dumpling look the same. That's part of their rustic charm. These tender little dumplings are packed with spinach, ricotta, parmesan, breadcrumbs, and fresh basil. Then they're gently simmered and bathed in a nutty brown butter sage sauce. Simple, homey, and incredibly satisfying. - [Zucchini, Basil and Fennel Soup](https://sammymontgoms.com/zucchini-basil-and-fennel-soup/): There's something kind of perfect about a soup that doesn't weigh you down when the sun's still out. This Zucchini, Basil and Fennel Soup totally hits that spot. It's warm but still super refreshing. The fennel brings this gentle sweetness, the zucchini keeps it silky, and the basil kind of ties it all together. Then we top it with that crispy Parmesan chip, you know, the one that feels fancy but is secretly easy (one 1 ingredient). This soup makes you feel good from the inside out! - [Stuffed Tomatoes](https://sammymontgoms.com/stuffed-tomatoes/): If you've ever had stuffed peppers and thought this would be even better with tomatoes, you're in luck! This Stuffed Tomatoes recipe hollows out beefsteak tomatoes and uses the pulp and juice you scoop out to cook the rice, so the arborio ends up infused with tomato flavour before it even meets the pesto, parmesan, and pine nuts. It's a simple swap that makes a big difference, and it's part of why this recipe ends up tasting like so much more than the sum of its parts. - [Roasted Rainbow Veggie Rigatoni with Italian Sausage](https://sammymontgoms.com/roasted-rainbow-veggie-rigatoni-with-italian-sausage/): This Roasted Rainbow Veggie Rigatoni with Italian Sausage is one of those recipes that instantly takes me back to summer dinners with my family. It's a dish my dad has been making for years, especially during the peak of garden season when fresh zucchini, tomatoes, onions, and herbs are at their absolute best. If it's too hot to turn on the oven, he'll often roast the vegetables right on the barbecue, making it the perfect warm-weather meal. Anyways - lets get into it! - [Creamy High Protein Peach Crepes](https://sammymontgoms.com/creamy-high-protein-peach-crepes/): These Creamy High-Protein Crepes are inspired by one of my Grandpa's most famous recipes. Growing up, he was always making crepes for our family, filling them with everything from Nutella and fresh fruit to homemade jam. But our family's favorite was always this cozy variation—soft, delicate crepes stuffed with a creamy mixture of ricotta, cottage cheese, and sweet peaches, then baked in rich cream until warm. - [Italian Ice Cream Cake with Amaretti & Nutella (Gelato Torta)](https://sammymontgoms.com/italian-ice-cream-cake-with-amaretti-nutella-gelato-torta/): This Italian ice cream cake is, quite literally, my entire love for Italian summers wrapped up in one gorgeous dessert! (Everyone give Mary a huge round of applause for creating this one!) When I spent the summer in Italy with my family, our absolute favorite ritual was heading out every single night after dinner to grab gelato—usually a scoop of amaretti, biscotti, or rich nutella. Or sometimes all 3 - LOL! This cake combines all of those nostalgic, delicious flavors into one incredible, show stopping treat that you’ll want to make on repeat all season long. - [Fresh Salsa Recipe](https://sammymontgoms.com/fresh-salsa-recipe/): If you've ever opened a jar of store-bought salsa and thought I could do better than this, you absolutely can, and this Fresh Salsa Recipe is here to prove you right. Some fresh Roma tomatoes, a little heat from the jalapeño, a pop of brightness from lime, and a food processor for the elbow grease is all you really need. It comes together in under 20 minutes and tastes like the salsa you get at a really good Mexican restaurant. - [Lemon Poppy Seed Muffins](https://sammymontgoms.com/lemon-poppy-seed-muffins/): If you've been searching for Lemon Poppy Seed Muffins that actually tastes great, this is it. I've made my fair share of muffins over the years, and this may just be one of my favorites. The combo of cake flour, buttermilk, and sour cream gives them this incredibly tender, almost bakery-style crumb, and the lemon flavour is really lemony thanks to both fresh lemon juice and a generous amount of zest. - [Bran Muffins (High Fibre)](https://sammymontgoms.com/bran-muffins-high-fibre/): I'll be honest, bran muffins have a bit of an image problem. They've spent years being the "responsible" choice, the one you grab when you're trying to be good, not because you actually want it. These are not those muffins. These Bran Muffins are the ones you make on a Sunday and find yourself sneaking from the counter by Monday morning. The orange juice adds this quiet brightness, the sunflower seeds give every bite a little crunch, the molasses and dark brown sugar together make them deeply, warmly sweet. And the psyllium husk, unsexy as it sounds, is doing serious structural work behind the scenes, keeping everything moist and tender. - [Mexican Street Corn Pasta Salad](https://sammymontgoms.com/mexican-street-corn-pasta-salad/): I'm not trying to say this is the best Mexican Street Corn Pasta Salad, but it is. The trick is charring canned corn in butter until it picks up those deep golden, slightly blistered edges, then tossing it through fusilli with black beans, red onion, and a dressing that's basically elote sauce in pasta salad form. With lime, chili powder, a hit of cayenne, and just enough cumin to round it all out, it's smoky and tangy and a little spicy, all at once. - [Lemon Caesar Yogurt Marinated Chicken](https://sammymontgoms.com/lemon-caesar-yogurt-marinated-chicken/): If you have never marinated chicken in yogurt before, this recipe is about to change the way you cook chicken forever. This Lemon Caesar Yogurt Marinated Chicken is tangy, savoury, and packs every bit of that bold Caesar flavour we all love so much. And it's all marinated in a thick, creamy yogurt base that tenderizes the chicken as it marinates and creates the most incredible crust when it hits the heat. - [Green Curry Dumpling Bake](https://sammymontgoms.com/dumpling-bake/): If you haven't tried baking dumplings yet, this is your sign. This Viral Dumpling Bake takes frozen dumplings and nestles them into the most incredible green curry coconut broth, then bakes them until they're tender and silky and have soaked up all of that flavor. It is creamy, fragrant, a little spicy, and, I'll just say it, one of the most satisfying things that'll come out of your oven. - [One Skillet Fried Sausage, Potatoes & Peppers](https://sammymontgoms.com/one-skillet-fried-sausage-potatoes-peppers/): If there's one recipe I love on a weeknight when I just want something hearty and no-fuss, it's this One Skillet Fried Sausage, Potatoes & Peppers. Everything cooks in a single pan (and isn't that the best?!)—sweet bell peppers, golden crispy potatoes, and juicy Italian sausage all together to make a truly satisfying dinner that smells amazing and tastes even better. - [Sheet-Pan Crunchwraps with Taco Dip](https://sammymontgoms.com/sheet-pan-crunchwraps-with-taco-dip/): If you've ever tried to make crunchwraps at home and given up because pan-frying them one by one is a whole production, I have good news. You can make six at once on a sheet pan, and they come out even crispier than you'd get at a very specific fast food location I won't name. These Sheet-Pan Crunchwraps with Taco Dip are loaded with seasoned ground beef, sharp cheddar, fresh lettuce, tomatoes, and a crunchy tostada layer—all baked until golden and crispy in the oven. And yes, there's a homemade taco dip for dipping because why wouldn't there be. - [Sunday Short Rib Tomato Sauce](https://sammymontgoms.com/sunday-short-rib-tomato-sauce/): If I could describe myself in a recipe, it would be this Sunday Short Rib Tomato Sauce. It’s more than just a rich, perfectly cooked sauce—this is a recipe that’s been passed down from my Nonna to my mom, and now to me, and it’s the heart of our Sunday gatherings. I am just really, reeeealllly excited for you to make this recipe, and please don't forget to leave a review once you've tried this, because I want to hear from you! Ok - let's get into the sauce. - [Lemongrass Mussels with Coconut Lime Broth](https://sammymontgoms.com/lemongrass-mussels-with-coconut-lime-broth/): My mom fell in love with a dish just like this when she was in Mexico, and when she came home, she couldn’t stop thinking about it. These Lemongrass Mussels with Coconut Lime Broth are seriously so simple, yet bursting with flavor. If you're looking to make something quick, easy, and a little different this summer, paired with a crisp white wine, well you just found your recipe! - [Elevated Chocolate Box Cake with Candied Oranges & Marscarpone Filling](https://sammymontgoms.com/elevated-chocolate-box-cake-with-candied-oranges-and-marscarpone-filling/): There’s absolutely a time and place for a box cake—sometimes you just need that quick, reliable fix. But here’s the secret: with just a few simple tweaks, you can transform a boxed mix into something truly extraordinary. This Elevated Chocolate Box Cake takes all the ease of a mix and adds a luxurious orange mascarpone filling, a silky layer of store-bought chocolate icing, and a topping of candied orange peel. You truly wont know this one ever started with a box! K let's get into it! - [Crunchy Asian Slaw](https://sammymontgoms.com/asian-slaw/): This Crunchy Asian Slaw is proof that a salad (yes, we're calling a slaw a salad) can actually surprise you. The mango is the main reason for surprise here — sweet, juicy chunks tucked in with shredded daikon, crisp napa cabbage, and bean sprouts, all tossed in a sesame-soy-ginger dressing that's savory, tangy, and a little addictive. Finished with toasted cashews, a drizzle of chili oil, and fresh cilantro. Every single bite of this Asian slaw has something going on. It is fresh, bold, and so, so good. - [Honey Glazed Chicken](https://sammymontgoms.com/honey-glazed-chicken/): If you've ever stared at a pack of chicken thighs and wanted something that actually felt worth making, this is the recipe to try for sure. These Honey Glazed Chicken Thighs get coated in cornstarch, seared until nice and crispy, and then finished in a glaze made from soy sauce, honey, chili crunch, sesame oil, garlic, and ginger—it thickens up in the pan and coats every piece in a glaze that's sticky, a little spicy, and deeply savory. - [Zucchini Flatbread (Zucchini Scarpaccia)](https://sammymontgoms.com/zucchini-flatbread-zucchini-scarpaccia/): If you've never heard of zucchini scarpaccia, you're about to wonder where it's been your whole life. This Zucchini Flatbread — a traditional Tuscan dish from the coastal town of Camaiore — is thin, crispy, savory, and built almost entirely around zucchini. The batter is simple: flour, cornmeal, parmesan, and herbs, brought together with the salted zucchini water you'd otherwise pour down the drain. The result is between a flatbread and a savory tart, with golden edges, a slightly crisp top, and tender zucchini throughout. - [Caesar Chicken Cutlets](https://sammymontgoms.com/caesar-chicken-cutlets/): Caesar Chicken Cutlets are a spin on the classic chicken cutlet I grew up eating. This version keeps everything you love about the original — thin, pounded cutlets coated in seasoned breadcrumbs and fried until perfectly golden and crispy — but swaps the standard egg wash for a homemade Caesar dressing that gets built right into the crust. The result is a cutlet with that same satisfying crunch, but with garlic, anchovy, lemon, and Parmigiano woven through every bite. - [Creamy Shrimp Orzo with Asparagus and Peas](https://sammymontgoms.com/creamy-shrimp-orzo-with-asparagus-and-peas/): If someone told you a simple one-pan shrimp dish could taste this good with under 30 minutes of actual cooking, you'd probably be skeptical. But this Creamy Shrimp Orzo with Asparagus and Peas does exactly that. It's full of tender shrimp, perfectly cooked orzo, fresh asparagus, sweet peas, and a lemon-spiked cream sauce that ties everything together in the most delicious way. - [Strawberries & Marshmallow Whipped Cream Breakfast Casserole](https://sammymontgoms.com/strawberries-marshmallow-whipped-cream-breakfast-casserole/): If you've ever needed a breakfast that feels a little special without requiring you to be up at 6am doing anything heroic, this is it. This Strawberries & Marshmallow Whipped Cream Breakfast Casserole is the kind of dish that makes people think you planned way ahead — and technically, you did, but only because you put it together the night before and went to bed. Layers of soft brioche, fresh strawberries, and a rich custard bake up into something that's equal parts breakfast and dessert. - [French Onion Croissant Casserole](https://sammymontgoms.com/french-onion-croissant-casserole/): If you've ever had french onion soup and thought this needs to be breakfast, then congratulations, you've basically already invented this recipe in your head. This French Onion Croissant Casserole takes everything you love about that classic — deeply caramelized onions, nutty gruyere, that cozy savory warmth — and turns it into the kind of breakfast casserole people are going to be talking about. - [Seared Buttery Scallops with Mint and Pea Purée](https://sammymontgoms.com/seared-buttery-scallops-with-mint-and-pea-puree/): Sometimes, you just need a truly unique appetizer—something that stands out from the usual dips and frozen bites, know what I mean?
