WHAT ARE GERMAN POTATO PANCAKES?

Are you new to the Kitchen? If so, there’s something you should know about my recipe videos. I do this little thing called “silent-film mode”, so if you like what you see, I hope you’ll subscribe to my YouTube channel!

DUST OFF YOUR CAST IRON SKILLET

First off, you don’t need a cast-iron skillet to make these homemade meatballs. If you’re finishing off the meatballs in the oven, however, I do recommend using an oven-safe skillet. The reason I recommend cast iron? Because I’m a hardcore fan and think cast-iron cookware is the bee’s knees. It’s easy to work with, it lasts forever, and it’s toxin-free. If you’ve never cooked with castiron ware, I recommend starting here.

This chicken caesar salad is going to make all other caesar salads pale in comparison once you take your first bite. Flavourful panko-crusted chicken, crisp romaine lettuce, garlicky homemade dressing and the easiest croutons you will ever make. You won’t want to go back!

PAN-FRIED CHICKEN CAESAR SALAD: A GAME CHANGER

Congratulations, you have just struck Caesar salad gold!

I have no idea how many chicken caesar salads I have eaten in my life, but this pan-fried chicken version is to-die-for.

I hope you love it as much as I do!
