I cook when I can….. 🥰

#shortribragu #blackberrydumplings

3/4 Edited to

I’ve found that cooking flavorful dishes like short rib ragu can be a rewarding experience even for busy people. Slow cooking allows the meat to become tender and infused with rich flavors, making each bite delicious and satisfying. When I make short rib ragu, I usually sear the meat first to lock in the juices, then let it simmer with tomatoes, herbs, and spices for several hours. This effort results in a dish that’s perfect for hearty meals and even leftovers. Pairing savory dishes with fresh, seasonal desserts like blackberry dumplings adds a wonderful balance to the meal. I love using fresh blackberries in dumplings, whether made from scratch or using a simple dough recipe. The burst of tart sweetness contrasts beautifully with the savory ragu. Cooking when you can, even if it’s just on weekends or special occasions, is a great way to unwind and enjoy creating something special. Using seasonal ingredients like blackberries ensures the flavors are fresh and vibrant. Plus, dishes like these can become your go-to comfort foods that warm your heart and please your guests. If you’re intrigued by these recipes, I recommend experimenting with your own variations—adding extra spices or trying different dipping sauces for the dumplings. Sharing these meals with loved ones turns cooking into a memorable experience beyond just preparing food.

Three cooked salmon fillets seasoned with spices are shown on aluminum foil, with the text overlay "HOW I COOK MY SALMON" indicating the recipe's title.

A flat lay displays the ingredients for the salmon recipe, including a bag of wild-caught sockeye salmon, black pepper, paprika, garlic powder, and a lime.

Three raw salmon fillets are on a white plate, next to a can of organic extra virgin olive oil spray, used as an alternative to butter or regular oil.

how I cook my S A L M O N

Salmon is essential in my diet, and when I say “diet” I just mean the meals I eat, not a literal diet. I gym 6x per week and have a high protein diet, and salmon is high in protein so it’s perfect. I believe there are 2 types of salmons: one with high grams of fat and another one with less gr
