    • 1/4 teaspoon black pepper

    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!

    Braised Catalina Chicken

    Chicken thighs deliver a generous dose of protein, iron, and zinc alongside more natural fat than chicken breast—which means they stay moist and satisfying through the long bake without drying out. The whole berry cranberry sauce contributes a small but meaningful dose of antioxidants and vitamin C, making this comforting pantry dinner a more nutritionally well-rounded choice than it might first appear.
