A bowl of Emerald Kale Salad with shredded cabbage, chickpeas, and herbs sits on a marble surface. A block of Parmesan cheese on crumpled brown paper and black salad servers are nearby, creating a bright and fresh Hillstone-inspired scene.

My Version of Emerald Kale Salad (inspired by Hillstone)

This emerald kale salad is fresh, crunchy, and quietly filling. A simple peanut dressing brings everything together, making it just as good on its own as it is with chickpeas or rotisserie chicken: one base salad, endless flexibility.

Recipe

This is the kind of salad you actually look forward to eating. Finely chopped kale, a creamy peanut dressing, fresh herbs, and salty Parmigiano make it satisfying without feeling heavy. Eat it as-is or turn it into a full meal with chickpeas or rotisserie chicken.

A bowl of Creamy White Bean Chili with chunks of avocado and cilantro garnish sits on a napkin with an orange border. Nearby, lime wedges and cilantro rest on a dark plate, while broken tortilla chips are scattered on white marble.

Creamy White Bean Chili with cauliflower

This creamy white bean chili is cozy, comforting, and made for busy weeknights. It comes together in one pot, uses simple pantry ingredients, and is easy to customize—keep it vegetarian or add rotisserie chicken if that’s your vibe. Creamy, mild, and family-friendly, this is the kind of chili you’ll want to make on repeat.

A plate of Chilaquiles Rojos topped with red salsa, melted cheese, sliced onions, chopped cilantro, and cream. Crispy tortilla chips peek through. A bowl of onions and a striped cloth napkin are nearby on a white surface.

Chilaquiles Rojos (A Very Different, Very Delicious Method)

These are not traditional chilaquiles—and that’s the whole point.Instead of simmering tortilla chips directly in salsa, this version uses a sheet-pan, broiled approach that keeps the chips crunchy while still delivering all the flavor you crave. Same ingredients, same soul… just a very different way of getting there.
If you love chilaquiles but don’t always love soggy chips or standing over the stove, this method is for you.

Creamy Parmesan Dressing (Easy, Bold, Ready in Minutes)

This creamy Parmesan dressing is the kind of quick, no-drama sauce that makes even the simplest salad taste special. It comes together in five minutes with pantry ingredients, has a rich garlicky bite, and is thick enough to cling to every leaf. Use it on salads, spoon it over a warm pasta salad, or serve it as a dip for fries and chips — it’s bold, versatile, and the kind of dressing you’ll want to keep in your fridge all week.
