🥗 What Makes This Recipe So Good A Big Mac salad takes all the flavors and ingredients you love from a classic McDonald’s cheeseburger, tosses out the bun, and combines everything in a bowl for a lighter alternative to the drive-thru.

This is one of those recipes that, from the moment I take the first bite, I just cannot wait to share with you. Sure – days will pass as other recipes on the editorial calendar go live. Sometimes they’re dishes like my Whole30 breakfast sandwiches (Whole30 McGriddles!), and I forget all about my carrot cake paleo breakfast bake!

If this week had a theme, it would have to be repackaging old favorite dishes in new forms. Right? Today, samosas in burrito form. Monday, lasagna in soup form. Wednesday…pumpkin in cheese form? Er…maybe cheese in vegan form? Okay, so maybe that only kind of works, but I’m sure I’ll make up for it down the road! Putting a new spin on old favorites is my favorite thing. Also, it seemed like a good idea for the week after Thanksgiving, which tends to focus on more traditional foods....

“I’ll make whatever you want” What’s your request when this mythical phrase rears its head?

Ingredients & Substitutions Here I explain the best ingredients for flank steak with chimichurri, what each one does in the recipe, and substitution options. For measurements, see the recipe card.

Well, we made it! Happy first post daylight savings Friday of 2018. How did everyone make out with the time change this year? Things were a little bumpy in the old ConVeg household. Sunday was fine, but once the week started I found myself a little grumpier and clumsier than usual. I took a bit of a spill on Monday while breaking in a new pair of gym shoes and ended up a little bruised and scratched up....

It’s also only made with a few easy to find ingredients in under 30 minutes, making it perfect as a last-minute take along for a potluck or just when you’re craving a delicious snack....

I never liked the conventional dredging process ( flour -> egg wash -> flour). The coating always turns thick, and lumpy and doesn’t cook well at places. And not to mention the mess the entire process creates. This recipe has just 2 steps – Buttermilk marinade then coat chicken in a dry mixture. The acid in buttermilk tenderizes the chicken, keeping it moist and juicy after cooking. Perfectly seasoned inside out....
