The year is fresh, but my cravings have already settled into a groove—and it seems garlic is having its moment. There's something about the sizzle of garlic butter and the shimmer of honey glaze that feels just right for these chilly evenings.
So, here's what I'm making to kick off 2026 in the tastiest way possible.
What I'm Making in 2026
Let's talk about this one-pan pasta. Imagine tender noodles soaking up all that savory sauce in just one pan (minimal cleanup!). Perfect for weeknights when I want comforting flavors with zero fuss.
For something lighter but just as satisfying, the baked cod is pure simplicity. The flaky, buttery fish, kissed with a hint of lemon, feels like a little bit of elegance, even on a Tuesday.
But wait, the sides deserve their moment too. Enter garlic butter asparagus—crispy-tender spears that snap with each bite and practically glow on the plate. A drizzle of this, a sprinkle of that, and you're in veggie heaven.
Of course, my obsession with glazed proteins is in full swing. The honey garlic salmon? Sweet, sticky, and bursting with umami. And don't even get me started on the sweet garlic chicken— juicy bites bathed in a caramelized garlic sauce that clings to every morsel.
For steak night (because you need a steak night), the garlic butter Brazilian steak is the star. It's deeply savory, with edges seared to golden perfection and draped in—you guessed it—buttery garlic. Just add some mashed potatoes and call it a feast.
And for the ultimate cozy finish? Juicy, tender baked pork chops with their golden crust. These are the kind of chops that make you pause after the first bite, just to savor the moment.
So, here's to a new year of great meals and even better memories—starting with these standouts. What's on your menu this week?
