Pickle Roll Ups take just three simple ingredients to make and are the perfect little bites of goodness. Make them for an easy appetizer, game day snack, or fun finger food for movie night. If you’re a pickle lover, this is about to become your new favorite recipe. Pickle roll-ups are always a hit, no matter when they’re served. I’ve made them for game day, holiday parties, and even as an afternoon snack. Some people refer to them as “Midwest sushi,” which is just hilarious.

If you’re a fan of fish recipes, be sure to check out my Blackened Swordfish Recipe as well. Recipes like this make cooking at home so much fun.

This homemade Coffee Rub is one of my favorite dry rub recipes. The bold coffee flavor paired with savory spices creates a unique twist for prime rib, pork loin, steak, and more. It’s such an easy way to add a ton of flavor to meat before cooking. I love the deep, earthy flavor of this coffee rub recipe and pretty much refer to it as my “ultimate rub.” The coffee doesn’t make your meat taste like your morning cup of coffee.

These Keto Zucchini Muffins are moist, tender, and loaded with chocolate chips in every bite. They’re an easy way to use up fresh summer zucchini while sneaking a few extra vegetables into breakfast or snack time. Best of all, they’re low carb with only 3 net carbs, gluten-free, and freezer-friendly. Every summer I seem to end up with too much zucchini. Luckily, zucchini is one of the easiest vegetables to bake with because it adds moisture without a strong flavor.

These Turkey Breakfast Sausage Patties are an easy, high-protein breakfast that’s full of savory flavor without all the extra grease. Made with lean ground turkey and simple pantry seasonings, they’re perfect for meal prep, breakfast sandwiches, or serving alongside eggs for a healthy start to the day. Making homemade breakfast sausage is much easier than most people think. While traditional breakfast sausage is usually made with pork, I love using lean ground turkey instead.

This Four Cheese Hasselback Chicken looks like something you’d order at a restaurant, but it’s surprisingly easy to make at home. Thick chicken breasts are stuffed with four kinds of cheese, crispy bacon, and shredded zucchini, then baked until perfectly juicy and golden. It’s an easy weeknight dinner that’s low carb, keto-friendly, and packed with flavor. For more great chicken recipes, try my Butter Poached Chicken and Goat Cheese Stuffed Chicken.

This Zucchini Salad with Feta is one of my favorite summer side dishes. Fresh zucchini, juicy tomatoes, tangy feta, and a simple lemon vinaigrette come together in less than 10 minutes for a salad that’s light, crisp, and full of fresh flavor. I’ve been making this salad for years, ever since I bought my first spiralizer. My kids still get a kick out of seeing how long the zucchini noodles can get, and I love that it’s an easy way to use up fresh garden zucchini.

This Broiled Scallops Recipe is one of my favorite ways to make an easy seafood dinner. With just scallops and butter, they’re ready in minutes and come out tender, buttery, and full of fresh flavor every time. If you’ve never cooked scallops at home, this is a great place to start. I love keeping this recipe simple because good sea scallops don’t need much. A little butter is all it takes to let their naturally sweet flavor shine.
