Weeknight Shredded Jerk Chicken Bowl with Mango Avocado Salsa - Crockpot, instapot of stovetop

Tangy, spicy shredded chicken served with fresh salsa loaded with all the flavors of the Caribbean. This dish is adapted from Skinny Taste’s Slow-Cooked Jerk Pork and modified for us non-mammal eaters. It’s been a long time Jones family favorite and was one of the first recipes published on this blog. I’ve pulled it up…

Poached Salmon with Creamy Dill Mustard Sauce

This elegant meal takes less than 30 minutes to put together and yet is impressive enough for entertaining.  This is a great dinner for nights when you don’t want to turn on the oven but still crave a home cooked meal. It’s another Home Sweet Jones original from 2013 that I’m pulling out of the…

Summer officially starts today and what better way to celebrate than with bowl of fresh tomatoes with just a whisper of basil, balsamic, and seasoning to enhance their flavor?  This salad tastes like sunshine. The gorgeous colors of this dish make it…

Summer vegetable ratatoille

Colorful vegetables and fresh herbs cooked together to create a savory mix that is light and healthy but incredibly satisfying.  Served with a side of crusty bread and a dollop of goat cheese, this may be my all-time favorite dish. The recipe below represents my favorite combination of vegetables but there are so many varieties…

Sparkling Sugar-Frosted Cranberries

November 1, 2017 by Maggie Jones 5 Comments

These sweet-tart sugared cranberries are a holiday staple

Whipping up a batch of these glittering cranberries signals the beginning of the holiday season at Chez Jones. These sweet-tart candied berries are great for snacking, sharing, decorating the table, and – our favorite use – garnishing cocktails like our Holiday Mule or this holiday twist on a French 75. They’re such a surprisingly refreshing…

Lemony Orzo with Roasted Broccoli

June 15, 2017 by Maggie Jones 5 Comments

Lemony Orzo with Roasted Broccoli

Brad’s second most frequently requested dish is roasted broccoli. (Jones Home trivia: his most requested is tacos.)  This recipe takes that often unappreciated side dish and makes it the star of the show. Tossing the broccoli with orzo and zesty lemon juice makes it into a light, summary meal or hearty side. Our love affair…

January 6, 2017 by Maggie Jones 7 Comments

Happy New Year! I’m excited to kick off 2017 with a post I’ve been holding onto for a while. Last year around this time I stumbled across the Rapid Fat Loss Handbook by Lyle McDonald and was introduced to the idea of Protein-Sparing Modified Fasting.  PSMF was developed by doctors in the 1970s to achieve…

Southwest Quinoa Cakes

Southwest Quinoa Cakes with Zesty Chipotle Salsa

These super-easy superfood cakes are loaded with zesty Southwest flavor. In fact, I have to confess that the salsa in the picture isn’t the salsa from the recipe.  The salsa from the recipe was completely devoured by me before photo time so I had to make a last minute substitution. Recipe pro tip: make extra…

Gluten-free baked coconut shrimp

I can’t believe April is almost over. The last few months have flown by in a blur – a trip to Italy, two snowboard trips, a new job for me, enormous progress finishing our home remodel… it’s been crazy but incredibly fun and productive. Now that the days are getting longer we’re ready to nest…
