We’re no strangers to sheet pan meatballs around here. We love to love them! Easy clean-up, no frying mess, but still oven-crisp goodness, and they’re always the easiest option for straight-off-the-pan sneaks.

Super juicy and deeply flavored thanks to some delicious briney green sauce – made with parsley, cilantro, walnuts, capers, garlic, and more – that will go not only inside but also on top of these little beauties. Serve them alongside some juicy marinated tomatoes, swoop them through tzatziki, douse them in that green sauce, grab yourself a buttery hunk of crusty bread, and let’s have the best meatball party in town, shall we?

Salty, Zesty, Briney Goodness

This isn’t just any old meatball. Not only is the quality of beef A+ (we’re using ButcherBox Grass-Fed Grass-Finished – more on that later), but that little green sauce magic concoction in the mixture brings a whole explosion of flavor with salty brininess from the capers, a little zest from the lemon, and our favorite punch of all punches, the garlic punch. It all just sort of swims together to bring maximum flavor to this little guy. It’s like a whole meal of tastes in one bite!

And you better believe you save some of that green sauce to put on top of your meatballs, and bread, and any kind of veggies. We’re nothing if not sauce hogs.

1. Preheat the oven to 425 degrees. 
2. Make your tomato salad and throw in some sliced cucumbers too!
3. Pulse the garlic, parsley, cilantro, capers, and walnuts in a food processor until chopped very finely (but not creamy / not a paste – you just want a fine chop! and you could do this by hand as well). This is your flavor base!
4. Transfer half of the flavor base to a large bowl for the meatballs. Add all other meatball ingredients and mix thoroughly with your hands to combine. Roll into balls and bake for 10-12 minutes.
5. Add the other half of the flavor base to a smaller bowl; add lemon zest and lemon juice, olive oil, and salt and pepper to taste to make your sauce. Add red pepper flakes for heat if you want. It should look similar to a loose pesto or chimichurri.
6. Serve meatballs over a swipe of tzatziki, with a hunk of rustic bread and a scoop of tomato salad. And drizzle, dip, and swish all of it through that punchy green sauce! BIG, BIG FLAVORS! So good!

More Meatball Recipes We Can’t Stop Talking About

How to make incredible homemade hollandaise sauce! Using a blender and a short list of simple ingredients, this hollandaise sauce recipe is practically failproof and extra easy!

There are very few homemade sauces that hit as well as hollandaise. It’s creamy, velvety, decadent, and incredible with eggs (hello, Eggs Benedict), as a dip for vegetables, and with simple seafood dishes.

Hollandaise was one of the first sauces I learned how to make in culinary school. We made it by hand with a whisk, and in large batches (my arms were so tired!). This home cook friendly hollandaise sauce recipe skips the whisk and calls on a blender, which means you’ll have a delicious batch of hollandaise in under 5 minutes! For another classic sauce, see our Homemade Mayonnaise.

Key Ingredients

• Melted Butter: Butter makes up the majority of this sauce, so spoiler, you need quite a bit of it. I use clarified butter for hollandaise. It’s easy to do, and I’ve shared how in the recipe below. You can make it with plain melted butter, but the clarifying process removes water and milk solids, which can cause our sauce to separate or break. Also, it tastes super rich and buttery, so your sauce tastes better. So, for the best hollandaise sauce, use clarified butter.
• Egg Yolks: Classic hollandaise uses egg yolks. You can save the whites for scrambled later (as a note, scrambled egg whites with hollandaise spooned on top is really delicious).
• Lemon Juice: You only need a little bit, but the lemon cuts through the richness of our sauce. Freshly squeezed really is best.
• White Wine (optional): This is a tip from Chef Richard, who, for many years, was tasked with making hollandaise for brunch service at a very high-end hotel. You only need a couple of teaspoons, so only add this if you already have a bottle open! It makes the sauce more interesting and does a similar job as the lemon, cutting through the richness of the butter and egg yolks.
• Salt and Pepper: Don’t forget to season your sauce and use a bit of pepper. Cayenne pepper is popular, but we skip that and use ground white pepper, which harmonizes a bit better with the sauce.

Find the full recipe with measurements below.

How to Make Hollandaise Sauce

Tip 1: Use a blender. Hollandaise sauce is a rich, creamy, and decadent emulsion of egg yolks and butter. While some classic recipes call for making it by hand with a bowl and whisk, a blender is a game-changer for home cooks (kind of like how a food processor is a game-changer when making mayo). It simplifies the process and gives you a beautiful sauce every time. That said, I shared how we make it by hand below anyway, in case you wanted to give it a go.

Tip 2: Use HOT butter. Drizzling hot (not warm) melted butter into the blender is key. If the butter isn’t hot enough, the sauce won’t thicken properly.

Tip 3: Make it right before serving. Hollandaise is best served immediately. Prepare your other dishes first, then make the sauce just before serving.

Tip 4: Keep it warm. Since the sauce is mostly butter, it will start to cool and thicken as it sits. To keep it warm, you can set the blender jar in a bowl of lukewarm water (hot from the tap) until you’re ready to serve.

Tip 5: Fixing broken hollandaise sauce. While our blender method is more foolproof, this classic sauce can still break if your butter is added too quickly or isn’t hot enough. Here’s what to do if your sauce breaks (note, I use a blender, but you can do this in a bowl with a whisk):

1. Pour your broken sauce into a bowl.
2. Add 1 to 2 teaspoons of warm water to the blender.
3. Turn the blender on, and slowly pour the broken sauce back into the blender through the lid opening. The sauce should re-emulsify and become smooth again. Hooray!

Serving Suggestions

Use your delicious hollandaise for dishes like Eggs Benedict (especially on a homemade English muffin) and Eggs Florentine. It’s also fantastic with poached eggs, vegetables like roasted asparagus, and simple seafood dishes like poached salmon.

This A-1 copycat homemade steak sauce recipe is slightly sweet with a delicious tang from the vinegar. It’s perfect for drizzling over your favorite cut of tender, juicy meat.

Rich, Bold, Savory Steak Sauce

You will love the depth of flavor this homemade sauce gives any steak you make. If you like A-1, you will love this even more. It is similar, but will have ingredients you know and trust. Combined, they make the most incredible steaks taste even better! Trust me, you will want to have this on hand any time you make steaks!

Ingredients Needed

How to Make Homemade Steak Sauce

This steak sauce recipe is just as good or better than A-1 steak sauce. I love being able to adjust the ingredients to use more of what I like and make it taste exactly how I want.

1. Combine: In a mixing bowl, add the Worcestershire sauce, balsamic vinegar, ketchup, soy sauce, onion powder, garlic powder, mustard powder, pepper, and salt.
2. Stir: Whisk everything together and then serve or store right away.

More Steak Sauces and Marinades

Most of the time, I like to make my steak with a simple marinade. But there are those special occasions when I like an incredibly flavorful sauce with my steak. Like when I make Steak Frites. Here are a few of my favorites!

Annnnd it’s Rainbow Roll-Up time!

If Rainbow Roll-Up doesn’t give you some association with a packaged, neon-colored fruit leather situation all wrapped up in a little paper coil, then who are you even? I’m having a moderately hard time separating these from the single greatest snack food of my childhood.

This is not that kind of rainbow roll-up, though. This is a rainbow roll-up that’s a nutritional powerhouse with foods like: carrots. chickpeas. curry. red cabbage. peanuts. dark leafy greens.

See, mom? I can eat like an adult after all.

How To Make Our Rainbow Roll-Ups:

These Rainbow Roll-Ups were inspired by these roll ups which are similarly detox-friendly and equally as delicious but a little lacking in the beautiful colors department. I actually made THOSE roll-ups for a blog post, but then realized: I think I’d like to make a new version of these, and I’d like to give it some more color and crunch.

And maybe a little curry hummus.

And maybe a little (LOT) of peanut sauce for dipping.

I’ve even been down the rainbow rolls path before with these Thai summer rolls, and these are a different but equally delicious version.

If I had to tell the story of my experience with Detox Rainbow Rolls in photos, it would go like this:

And it would include one thousand heart-eye emojis.

That first bite? with the creamy, salty-sweet peanut sauce and the crunchy, cool veggies and the smear of thick, spicy curry hummus? Yes. It is every bit as satisfying as you’re imagining it.

Desk-lunch awesomeness is yours!
