SKILLET BROWNIE

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 325 degrees F.
• To a medium bowl add the melted coconut oil, coconut sugar, vanilla and salt. Using a rubber spatula, stir to combine. Stir in the eggs and egg yolk, one at a time, until fully incorporated. Add the almond flour, cocoa powder and baking powder and stir to combine. Fold in 1/2 cup chocolate chips.
• Pour the batter into an 8-inch nonstick, oven proof skillet and spread evenly. Sprinkle with the remaining chocolate chips. Bake for 25 to 28 minutes or until the edges look dry and the center still looks slightly underdone.
• Remove from the oven and cool the brownies in the pan on a wire rack. Allow to cool for at least 20 minutes before cutting into wedges and serving.

CHICKEN AND VEGGIE SKILLET

Steps:

• For the chicken and veggies: Preheat the oven to 400 degrees F.
• Sprinkle the chicken with half of the House Seasoning and brush both sides with the Dijon mustard. Drizzle the beets, carrots, parsnips and onion with 1 tablespoon of the olive oil and sprinkle with the remaining 1/2 tablespoon House Seasoning. Set aside.
• Heat the remaining tablespoon olive oil in a large cast-iron skillet over medium-high heat. Cook the chicken until browned, about 3 minutes. Flip and cook until browned on the other side, 4 to 5 minutes more. Remove the chicken to a plate.
• Add the beets, carrots, parsnips and onions to the skillet and cook until browned, 4 to 5 minutes. Add the herbs and nestle the chicken into the vegetables.
• Transfer the skillet to the bottom rack of the oven. Bake until the juices from the chicken run clear and the vegetables are tender, about 40 minutes.
• Meanwhile, make the butter sauce: Melt the butter in a small saucepan over medium heat. Add the sherry, if using, along with the parsley, lemon juice and garlic. Bring the mixture to a simmer and season with salt and pepper. Remove the skillet from the oven and pour the sauce over the chicken and vegetables.
• Stir together the garlic and onion powders, paprika, salt and pepper in a small bowl. Store in an airtight container.

KARDEA'S CHEF'S SALAD

Steps:

• For the Buttermilk Ranch Dressing: Stir together the buttermilk, mayonnaise, sour cream, chives, dill, lemon juice, garlic powder, onion powder, salt and pepper in a medium bowl. Cover and refrigerate until ready to serve.
• Assemble the salad: Arrange the lettuce, Sourdough Croutons, tomatoes, Cheddar, carrots, cucumbers, onion, eggs and ham on a serving platter. Drizzle with desired amount of buttermilk ranch dressing.
• Preheat the oven to 375 degrees F. Toss the bread cubes, olive oil, Parmesan, Italian seasoning, garlic powder and pepper on large rimmed baking sheet. Bake until the bread begins to brown, 10 minutes. Stir and bake until the croutons are browned and crispy, 5 minutes more. Set aside to cool completely.

CHEESY SKILLET POTATOES

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 375 degrees F.
• Butter a 12-inch cast-iron skillet. Arrange half of the potatoes in the skillet. Sprinkle with salt and pepper, half the chives, and half of each of the Gruyère, Cheddar and fontina cheeses. Repeat the layers once.
• Heat the cream, garlic, nutmeg, 1/2 teaspoon salt and 1/2 teaspoon pepper in a medium saucepan over medium heat until bubbles form around the edges, about 3 minutes. Remove from the heat and stir in the sour cream. Pour the cream mixture over the potatoes in the skillet. Cover tightly with aluminum foil. Bake until the potatoes can be easily pierced with a knife, about 45 minutes.
• Uncover and bake until the cheese is browned and the edges are bubbly, about 15 minutes. Broil for 2 minutes, if desired. Remove the skillet from the oven and sprinkle with more chives before serving.

SKILLET BROWNIE

Steps:

• Preheat a grill to medium and prepare for indirect cooking: On a gas grill, turn off half the burners; on a charcoal grill, bank the coals to one side.
• Lightly butter the bottom and sides of a well-seasoned 10-inch cast-iron skillet. Melt the butter in a metal bowl over indirect heat on the grill; let cool slightly. Whisk in the granulated sugar, brown sugar, eggs and vanilla until smooth. Add the flour, cocoa powder, salt and baking powder and whisk until well combined. Stir in the chocolate chips. Spread the batter in the skillet.
• Once the grill registers 325˚ F to 350˚ F, set the skillet on the cooler side of the grill (indirect heat), cover the grill and cook until the edges of the brownie are set and a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean, 40 to 50 minutes. Remove from the grill and let the brownie cool in the skillet at least 20 minutes.
• Meanwhile, beat the heavy cream to soft peaks in a medium bowl with a mixer on medium-high speed. Add the marshmallow cream and continue beating to firm peaks. Serve the brownie with the whipped cream.
