    Ingredients

    • 4 pieces croissants

    • 8 slices ham

    • 8 slices cheese

    • 1 tablespoon butter

    Directions

    • Preheat your oven to 375 degrees Fahrenheit and line a baking sheet with parchment paper for easy cleanup.
    • Slice each croissant horizontally ensuring not to cut them all the way through, creating a pocket for the filling.
    • Place two slices of ham and two slices of cheese inside each croissant pocket, making sure they are evenly distributed.
    • Use a pastry brush to spread melted butter on the top of each croissant, which will help them become golden brown during baking.
    • Arrange the filled croissants on the prepared baking sheet, then bake in the preheated oven for 15 minutes or until the cheese is fully melted.
    • Remove from the oven and let the croissants cool slightly before serving them warm for an optimal taste experience.

    Tip of the Day

    “Always let your meat rest before slicing.”

    Whether you're roasting a chicken, grilling steak, or baking pork tenderloin, letting cooked meat rest for 5–10 minutes before slicing allows the juices to redistribute evenly. This simple step keeps your meat juicy and tender, ensuring every bite is flavorful and moist. Bonus: It gives you a moment to plate your sides or garnish for a perfect presentation!

    Check Your Fridge Now: Taylor Farms Recalls 20 Ready-To-Eat Products at Major Retailers Over Salmonella

    This recall is a reminder that fresh jalapeños — like all fresh produce — can be a vector for foodborne illness, particularly when sourced from regions with different agricultural water safety standards. During an active Salmonella investigation, it’s smart to avoid raw fresh jalapeños in any form until the source is confirmed and resolved. Cooking jalapeños thoroughly kills Salmonella, so roasted, sautĂ©ed, or otherwise cooked jalapeños from your own kitchen carry significantly lower risk than raw or ready-to-eat products containing them. If you’ve recently eaten any of the recalled products and develop symptoms — especially fever alongside gastrointestinal distress — contact your healthcare provider promptly and specifically mention potential Salmonella exposure so they can order the right test.

    Shrimp Tacos with Jalapeño Lime Slaw

    Shrimp provides high-quality lean protein with minimal calories and fat, while the two-cabbage slaw delivers fiber, vitamins C and K, and antioxidants. Cabbage is one of the most nutrient-dense vegetables per calorie available. Using a modest amount of mayonnaise in the slaw dressing provides richness without excess, and the honey-lime base means you control sweetness naturally rather than relying on refined sugar.

    Crispy Baked Italian Parmesan Chicken

    Baking breaded chicken rather than pan-frying or deep-frying significantly reduces the amount of oil absorbed by the crust while still achieving a golden, satisfying result. Pounding the chicken to even thickness means it cooks through in the same time the crust crisps—no overcooking required to ensure food safety, which keeps the lean breast meat as juicy as possible.
