Okay, let me start by saying this is not your every day Olivia’s Cuisine post. True, I do like to post food porn style treats, but I think this time I might have gone a little too far. ? Well, what happened was: I was trying to explain to my husband, Tim, that lots of burger places in Brazil sell a burger call X-Tudo (hereby called “Epic Burger”) that is pilled insanely high with everything (hence the “tudo”) you can thing of....
From start to finish, broiled pork chops is one of the easiest and tastiest pork chop recipes there is. Pork chops are usually best when cooked fast over high heat. This recipe is exactly that: a quick broil under high heat that takes just a few minutes per chop side, resulting in tender and very juicy meat. But that’s just a small part of it. What really makes these broiled pork chops really is the homemade Creole seasoning that adds a ton of flavor and broiling on a cast iron pan or a griddle....
My wife loves cooking shrimp, this is one of her favorite recipes. Once you try it, you’ll know what I mean. Quick, high-heat cooking serves shrimp best. It gives it the most flavor without overcooking it. That’s why grilled or pan-seared shrimp is so flavorful. Broiling is another great cooking method for shrimp, though, unfortunately, it’s quite underutilized. We like serving this shrimp as an appetizer or as party finger food....

Crowd-pleasing dishes like chicken broccoli rice casserole (and its cousins, Broccoli Rice Casserole, Broccoli Quinoa Casserole, and Cheesy Corn Quinoa Casserole with Chicken) were a fixture at our table growing up. My mom was the casserole QUEEN. She wore a crown of Pyrex and carried a scepter of nonstick baking spray. Not only could she make a casserole from scratch, but she could transform any (and I mean any) leftover in our home into a creamy, cheesy casserole of sorts....

Have you ever had the barbacoa beef at Chipotle? Their chicken is delicious, the fajita veggies are mouth-watering, but the Chipotle barbacoa?

Good news: This beef barbacoa recipe is incredibly easy (just as easy as making pulled pork or fall-off-the-bone Instant Pot beef short ribs), and made with just ten common ingredients....
In anticipation of opening day, students camped out on the sidewalk overnight, the true enthusiasts wrapping themselves in aluminum foil to match the chain’s signature burrito packaging. Since that moment when I sunk my teeth into my very first Chipotle chicken burrito—or rather since that moment when I took a really big bite of the top third because THEY ARE SO BIG—I’ve been a Chipotle believer. Now that I’m older and wiser, however, I much prefer the burrito bowl....

O abacate, apesar de ser usado como vegetal em muitos países, é botanicamente uma fruta. É nativo do México e data ao redor de 7000 a 5000 A.C. Você sabia que a palavra asteca “ahuacatl” (avocado no inglês e abacate em português) significa “testículos”? Os astecas consideravam essa fruta com formato de testículo como a fruta da fertilidade. E então era (e ainda é) considerada afrodisíaca! Não só pela parte do testículo, mas porque é uma fruta rica em vitamina E (considerada a vitamina do sexo) e vitamina B6 (que regula a testosterona)....

Since our new home is more centrally located, I’ve been on a hosting spree. It’s been so fun and rewarding to message friends on a whim to see if they want to swing by after work for a quick drink. And naturally, where there are quick drinks, there must also be quick food. I find that offering guests a little something to eat with their drink goes a long way to making them feel special, even it’s a friend I’ve known for years and we’re sipping Trader Joe’s wine in our sweatpants....
