Sitka Cod

This cod filet baked beautifully.  I know it would taste equally good pan fried, breaded or deep fried.

Cod with Creamy Roasted Garlic Shrimp Sauce

My creamy roasted garlic sauce has a pinch of smoked paprika and smoked salt which compliments seafood so well.

**To roast garlic, preheat oven to 350. Cut stem end off garlic, rub with oil, wrap in foil and bake until cloves are soft and golden brown. (about 30 minutes)

I served this dish over multigrain rice and added peas to make it a complete meal. It would work just as well alone or with your favorite side.

Brats and Beans Soup

Brats and Beans Soup is a quick, easy soup for a busy weeknight or weekend lunch.

beef brats and beans soup bowl

I’m a big fan of soup anytime of year. When cold weather sets in, soup tops my list. Using fully cooked meats like brats, smoked sausage or kielbasa adds a bit of texture and smoky flavor to soups and stews.

Beef brats or smoked sausage work especially well in this recipe. You can easily substitute turkey varieties or go meatless!

Cranberry Pesto Tenderloin Roast #RoastPerfect #CertifiedAngusBeef

This post is sponsored by the Certified Angus Beef® Brand in conjunction with a social media campaign through Sunday Supper LLC. All opinions are my own.
Cranberry Pesto Tenderloin Roast
Cranberry Pesto Tenderloin Roast serves fresh cranberries, orange and basil pesto over tender roast beef. Naturally sweet orange means no added sugar.

How many times have you thought about making a beef roast for the Holidays but changed your mind? I was guilty of that too.

Did you feel intimidated? If you answered yes, you’re in good company.

Recent research done by Certified Angus Beef ® brand found that Nearly 1 out of 4 consumers had NEVER cooked a beef roast! So why aren’t they roasting delicious Prime Rib or Tenderloin Roasts?

Almost 20 percent say they don’t know how, and more than 30 percent say they don’t have time. Nearly two-thirds of people say they don’t know which cuts of beef are best for roasting.

Certified Angus Beef ® brand listened.
