It's that time of year where cooking kinda goes on the back burner. But we can only eat so many burgers, sandwiches, and salads. So, all the new recipes over the last month have been pretty simple. Nearly all of them take around 30 minutes to make and work great as leftovers. If we have to cook in the summer, let's make it count! 1. Thai Peanut Brothy Rice BowlsCoconut curry broth served over steamed rice with Thai basil ground beef and a cilantro lime chopped peanut garnish.
2. My Favorite Pulled Chicken for TacosChicken thighs are braised with a Mexican seasoning blend, onion, and non-alcoholic beer until fall-apart tender then finished under the broiler to get nice and crispy. Perfect for tacos, burrito bowls, and all the Tex-Mex favorites.
3. Taco PastaProtein pasta with peppers and a veggie medley, extra lean taco beef, and asiago cheese.
4. Thai Basil Ground Beef BowlsExtra lean ground beef with stir fried peppers and onion, Thai basil, and an umami sauce served over rice with a chopped peanut garnish.
5. Ground Beef and Bell Pepper PastaLean ground beef, sautéed bell peppers and onion, basil, and a garlicky tomato sauce with cavatelli and parmesan cheese.
6. Crispy Ground Beef and Baby Broccoli Power BowlsStir fried baby broccoli and onion with crispy caramelized extra lean ground beef in an umami sauce served over jasmine rice.
7. Spicy Chicken and Broccolini PastaSweet and spicy chili balsamic ground chicken, pan roasted broccolini, and orecchiette in a creamy lemon parmesan sauce.
And that's all of 'em. Get out there and enjoy your summer! |

The Best of 2025 A year in review... Crazy year! Since we last chatted, I moved across the country to Vancouver, Washington with Vanessa and The Assistant. After a few months of settling in and exploring the PNW, I’ve been quietly publishing a ton of new recipes. (32 since August, to be exact.) I’m more excited about cooking and working on Kinda Healthy Recipes than I’ve been in years. Hope you’re ready to cook along with me in 2026! ut first, I’ve reviewed everything I’ve made this year to...
I’m experiencing some kitchen burnout this year in a big way. That’s where the rotisserie chicken series came from. And I’ve been consuming an embarrassing amount of Fairlife chocolate milk and Siggi’s skyr over the last few months to hit my daily goal of 200+ grams of protein. But you can only get so far without warm, savory foods. That’s where this new solution comes into play. There’s a new direct to your door food company called Just Meats, and I’ve been testing all their products over...
Happy Spooky Season, my fellow gear head and food friend. In case you're unfamiliar, Mason’s Must-Haves is a monthly email about my favorite foods, ingredients, cooking gear, or food-related content from the past month. This is the third edition of this email series, and it's the first time I find myself adding a "nice-to-have" tag on a couple things. I don't want this series to come across as me telling you to go out and buy all these things, particularly the more expensive gear. It's more...
