Sweet Pecan Ribs with Quick Fig BBQ Sauce

When it comes to rib, the equation of seared and caramelized and falling off the bones. These ribs definitely add up.

BLOOD ORANGE BRUSSELS SPROUTS

Skillet Lasagna

A handful of pantry items- no boil lasagna noodles, our favorite jarred sauce, Soprano’s Deliza– all come together to make this lasagna completely approachable on a weeknight. The shape of the cast iron skillet makes for more end pieces- for those that love those crispy edges (like us).
