Mashed Sweet Potatoes in Easy Dinner Recipes,Sweet potatoes are giving russets a run for their money. It’s about time I shared a mashed sweet potato recipe. The problem with most mashed sweet potatoes is that they’re made even sweeter with brown sugar and marshmallows. Sweet potatoes are already plenty sweet on their own! So, I added savory ingredients to my mashed sweet potatoes to balance out that inherent sweetness. Finely chopped fresh parsley and green onion combined with some sour cream and butter are all you need for incredible savory mashed sweet potatoes.

1 Minute Shrimp Curry in Easy Dinner Recipes,This simple 1-minute shrimp curry is so full of flavor! It’s easy to make, perfectly spiced and delicious. I’m calling this “1 minute Shrimp Curry” because if you make this in an instant pot, you set the cooking time to 1 minute. This dish takes no time at all and is super duper simple to make. It is faster to cook seafood in an instant pot IF you’re cooking the seafood from frozen. And while that only saves a few minutes – more than that – it’s SO convenient.

Tasty Pork Chops in Easy Dinner Recipes,How to make a perfect pork chop every time? Yeah, yeah, I've had my share of dry, over-cooked chops, too, but when cooked right, they’re magic. Like steak or chicken, pork also needs a lot of salt to bring out all the flavor. If you want to be fancy, you can brine the pork chops in some saltwater (season it with other stuff like whole peppercorns and bay leaves). Pork chops tend to be so thin that they can dry out super fast when cooked over high heat in a skillet. Instead, I like to sear them FAST in a hot skillet, just long enough to develop a crust and then transfer to the oven to finish cooking. Sear-roasting will help seal in the juices and prevent them from drying out before the center is fully cooked through. Once the chops are seared, you have a very important task: Brush 'em with garlic butter. I like to stir in a fresh herb (rosemary, thyme, oregano) or two, too — I can't get enough of these garlic butter pork chops and have a feeling you'll love them too.
