This pasta salad went viral with over 3 million views and for good reason. It’s saucy, spicy, and can be made in 20 minutes flat! Not to mention, the creamy dressing is packed with protein thanks to the most popular ingredient of 2025, cottage cheese. This dish has all the elements of street corn you love, but in pasta form, making it the perfect dish for Spring and Summer!

Can I be honest? I hate mayo—which is why you’ll never find a recipe on my blog that contains mayo. I. just. can’t. So enter this smashed potato salad. Instead of soggy potatoes you’d find in a traditional potato salad, here you get crispy potatoes, tossed in a tangy tzatziki-ish dressing that will put boring potato salad to shame. If you make it, please report back!

I say this a lot, but I mean it when I say this recipe is a weeknight must try. I am not someone that likes sweet entrees, so despite the name, you can trust that it’s more savory than sweet, and that you will be satisfied and full, thanks to the protein packed chicken meatballs. If you are a meal prepped like I am, this is a fantastic recipe to meal prep and enjoy during the week!

If there’s one thing you should know about me, it’s that I love a good viral trend. I test almost all of them and that’s because I think it is SO FUN when creators come up with something unique. When I saw the crispy onion ring “chips” floating around on Instagram, I knew this one was a must-make. AND OMG, they are heavenly. If you like onion on your pizza, then yes, you need to make these. I served mine with a side of pizza sauce and ate the entire tray in one setting. Run, don’t walk! Signed, your big foodie sis.

I adore salmon—it’s my favorite fish and I could eat it every night of the week. I created this recipe last month and filmed it with my friend
when I was visiting LA. The video received over 1 million views across platforms and the number of remakes has been astounding! The creamy sauce pairs perfectly with the umami glazed fish and we served it over rice, making it the perfect well rounded meal. My mouth is watering just thinking about this dish.
