• 2 tablespoons olive oil
• 2 tablespoons butter (or use dairy-free butter if needed)
• 4 cloves garlic, minced
• 1 tablespoon fresh thyme (or 1 teaspoon dried)
• 1 tablespoon fresh rosemary (or 1 teaspoon dried)
• Salt and pepper, to taste
• 1 tablespoon fresh parsley (optional, for garnish)

• 2 tablespoons olive oil
• 1 teaspoon garlic powder
• 1 teaspoon onion powder
• 1/2 teaspoon smoked paprika (optional, for extra flavor)
• Salt and pepper, to taste
• Fresh parsley, for garnish (optional)

Instructions:

1. Prepare the Vegetables:

Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C).

In a large mixing bowl, toss the Brussels sprouts and butternut squash (or sweet potatoes/yams) with 2 tablespoons olive oil, garlic powder, onion powder, smoked paprika, salt, and pepper.

Spread the vegetables out in a single layer on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper.

Roast in the preheated oven for 20-25 minutes, or until the Brussels sprouts are crispy and golden and the butternut squash (or sweet potatoes/yams) are tender, tossing halfway through for even cooking.

2. Cook the Steak:

While the vegetables are roasting, season the steaks generously with salt and pepper on both sides.

In a large skillet, heat 2 tablespoons olive oil over medium-high heat. Once the oil is hot and shimmering, add the steaks.

Sear the steaks for 3-4 minutes per side (for medium-rare), or longer depending on your preferred level of doneness.

When the steaks are almost done, add 2 tablespoons butter, minced garlic, thyme, and rosemary to the skillet. Spoon the melted garlic butter over the steaks as they finish cooking for extra flavor.

Remove the steaks from the skillet and let them rest for about 5 minutes before slicing.

3. Serve:

Once the vegetables are roasted, remove them from the oven.

Plate the roasted Brussels sprouts and butternut squash (or sweet potatoes/yams) alongside the steak.

Slice the steak against the grain and serve on top of the vegetables.

Chicken Piccata with Lemon Sauce

Ingredients:

• 2 tablespoons olive oil
• 1 cup chicken broth
• Salt and black pepper, to taste
• 4 boneless, skinless chicken breasts
• 1/2 cup all-purpose flour (for dredging)
• 3 tablespoons unsalted butter, divided
• 1/4 cup fresh lemon juice (from about 2 lemons)
• 2 tablespoons capers, drained and rinsed
• Fresh parsley, chopped (for garnish)

Directions:

Prepare the Chicken:

Place each chicken breast between two sheets of plastic wrap and pound to an even thickness (about 1/2 inch thick). Season both sides with salt and black pepper.

Dredge the Chicken:

Lightly coat each chicken breast in flour, shaking off any excess.

Sear the Chicken:

Heat 2 tablespoons of butter and 2 tablespoons of olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Once the butter is melted and the pan is hot, add the chicken breasts. Cook for 3–4 minutes per side, or until golden brown and cooked through. Remove the chicken from the skillet and set aside.

Make the Lemon Sauce:

In the same skillet, add the chicken broth, lemon juice, and capers. Bring the mixture to a simmer, scraping up any browned bits from the bottom of the pan. Let the sauce reduce slightly, about 2–3 minutes.

Finish the Sauce:

Lower the heat and stir in the remaining 1 tablespoon of butter. Taste and adjust the seasoning with salt and pepper if needed.

Return the Chicken to the Pan:

Place the cooked chicken breasts back into the skillet, spooning the lemon sauce over the top. Let the chicken simmer in the sauce for 1–2 minutes to absorb the flavors.

Serve and Garnish:

Transfer the chicken to a serving plate, pour the lemon sauce over it, and garnish with chopped parsley. Serve immediately, paired with pasta, rice, or steamed vegetables.

Creamy White Chocolate Mousse with Passion Fruit Recipe 

Indulge in this decadent yet simple Creamy White Chocolate Mousse with a tropical twist from passion fruit juice. The combination of the smooth sweetness from the white chocolate mousse and the zesty passion fruit creates a dessert that’s refreshing, rich, and absolutely irresistible. Perfect for impressing guests or treating yourself, this dessert takes just a few ingredients and minimal preparation time!

---

Ingredients:

• 1 can (395g) of sweetened condensed milk – The condensed milk provides the base for the mousse, adding rich sweetness and creaminess.
• 1 can (300ml) of heavy cream – Heavy cream is essential for creating the mousse’s light yet creamy texture, helping it achieve that airy, melt-in-your-mouth feel.
• 1 cup (240ml) of passion fruit juice (concentrated) – Passion fruit juice brings a tangy, citrusy contrast to the creamy base, brightening up the flavor profile and giving it a tropical flair.

---

Instructions:

Step 1: Blend the Ingredients

In a blender, combine the sweetened condensed milk, heavy cream, and passion fruit juice. The condensed milk will add sweetness and a rich texture, while the heavy cream ensures a creamy, smooth consistency. The passion fruit juice provides a refreshing and zesty note that complements the creamy elements beautifully.

Step 2: Blend Until Smooth

Secure the lid on your blender and blend the ingredients together for about 2-3 minutes on medium speed. You want to blend until the mixture is smooth, silky, and fully combined. The heavy cream and condensed milk should integrate seamlessly with the tangy passion fruit juice, creating a creamy and slightly thickened consistency.

Step 3: Chill the Mousse

Once the mixture is well-blended, transfer it into serving dishes—small glass cups, ramekins, or even bowls work well. The mousse will need to chill and firm up in the refrigerator. Cover the dishes with plastic wrap or lids, and refrigerate for at least 3-4 hours or until the mousse sets and reaches a firm, mousse-like consistency.

Step 4: Serve and Garnish

Before serving, feel free to garnish the mousse with extra passion fruit pulp, fresh fruit, or even a sprinkle of grated white chocolate for added texture and visual appeal. A few mint leaves can also add a fresh finishing touch.

---

Tips and Variations:

• Add a bit of white chocolate: If you want to make it extra indulgent, you can melt a small amount of white chocolate (about 50g) and add it to the mixture before blending. This will enhance the white chocolate flavor and give the mousse a richer texture.
• Make it dairy-free: To make a dairy-free version, substitute the condensed milk with a coconut-based sweetened condensed milk and use coconut cream instead of heavy cream.
• Tropical twist: For added texture, you can incorporate small pieces of fresh tropical fruits like mango or kiwi into the mousse before chilling.

---

Serving Suggestions:

This mousse pairs beautifully with a cup of coffee or a glass of chilled sparkling wine. It’s also a great option to serve at a tropical-themed party, dinner gathering, or as a refreshing summer dessert. The combination of creamy sweetness and tangy passion fruit is sure to please any palate!
