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!

Lemon Butter Lobster Risotto

Lemon Butter Lobster Risotto is a rich and indulgent dish, but there are ways to make it even healthier while maintaining its creamy texture and luxurious flavor. Using low-sodium chicken stock can help reduce sodium intake, while swapping brown rice or cauliflower rice for Arborio rice can increase fiber and lower the carb content. Lobster is naturally high in protein and low in fat, making it a great lean seafood choice, but using less butter and replacing some with heart-healthy olive oil can further lighten the dish. Opting for reduced-fat Parmesan or nutritional yeast can provide cheesy flavor with less saturated fat. The addition of lemon juice and zest not only enhances brightness but also delivers vitamin C and antioxidants. Serve with a side of leafy greens for an extra nutrient boost, and enjoy this creamy risotto as part of a well-balanced meal!
