Two reasons I love the Vancouver Farmers Market:

1. You can get everything you need for a shockingly simple, elevated dinner in one place.

2. The vendors are good sports when you ask them to make ridiculous cooking noises for a Reel. 😂🔊

This dinner was NY strip with sautéed oyster mushrooms and chimichurri. It looks fancy, but it was ridiculously easy and came together in one cast iron pan.

🥩 NY strip from Windy River Livestock
🍄 Oyster mushrooms from The Pacific Spore
🌿 Chimichurri from River Wave Foods
🔪 Steak sliced on my Davisville Woodworks cutting board

Sear the steak, pull it out to rest, sauté the mushrooms in the same pan, slice, add chimichurri. Done.

Huge thanks to the Vancouver Farmers Market vendors for the delicious ingredients and for being willing to get a little silly with me. 😂

This might be the easiest way to make brunch look impressive. 🍓

A cast iron Dutch baby puffs up dramatically in the oven with crispy golden edges and a soft, custardy center. And unlike pancakes, there’s no standing at the stove flipping batch after batch.

Bring the whole skillet to the table, add fresh berries, powdered sugar, and a squeeze of lemon, and brunch is done.

Perfect for squeezing in one more slow summer morning with people you love.

Stuck-on eggs happen. 🍳

In this case I cooked onions and ham in this skillet first, and as those ingredients cook and brown, sugars can contribute to a stickier surface once the eggs go in. Plus, the skillet was too hot to allow the eggs to set properly before messing with them.

Delicious? Yes. A little messier to clean? Also yes.

Luckily, cleanup doesn’t have to be difficult. My go-to routine uses the tools in the Essential Cast Iron Care Kit:

🧹 Brush away the loose stuff
⛓️ Use the chainmail scrubber on stubborn spots
✨ Finish with a tablespoon of Conditioning Scrub to clean + condition
💦 Rinse
🔥 Dry with heat
🙌 Done

Each tool has a job, and together they take you from stuck-on breakfast to a clean, conditioned skillet ready for the next meal.

Pillowy gnocchi, buttery sage, mushrooms, walnuts, lemon, parmesan… this one feels fancy but is secretly very easy to pull together. 🍄✨

A simple skillet dinner for cozy nights at home or camp cooking weekends. Bonus: it cleans up surprisingly easily with a little Conditioning Scrub afterward.

Save it for later or grab the full recipe card through the link in bio.
