Before You Cook

Cooking Guidelines

To ensure food safety, the FDA recommends the following as minimum internal cooking temperatures:

  • Steak and Pork 145° F (rest cooked meat, 3 minutes) |
  • Seafood 145° F |
  • Chicken 165° F |
  • Ground Beef 160° F |
  • Ground Turkey 165° F |
  • Ground Pork 160° F

Customize It Instructions

  • If using antibiotic free chicken, follow same instructions.

  • If using filets mignon, pat dry. Cook until steak reaches desired doneness, or 4-6 minutes per side for medium/medium-well. Rest, 3 minutes. Steak thickness can vary; if you receive a thinner steak, we recommend checking for doneness sooner.

  • If using salmon, pat dry. Add salmon, skin-side up first, and cook until salmon reaches minimum internal temperature, 4-6 minutes per side. 

  1. 1

    Make the Mashed Potatoes

    Cut potatoes into large evenly-sized chunks.

    Bring a medium pot with potato chunks covered by cold water to a boil over medium-high heat.

    Once boiling, cook until potatoes are fork-tender, 12-15 minutes.

    Remove from burner. Reserve 1/4 cup potato cooking water. Drain potatoes in a colander/strainer and return to pot. Add softened cream cheese, half the reserved potato cooking water (reserve remaining for adjusting consistency, if necessary), softened garlic & herb butter, and a pinch of salt. Mash until combined and smooth. If too dry, add additional reserved potato cooking water, 1 Tbsp. at a time, until desired consistency is reached. Cover and set aside.

    While potatoes cook, continue recipe.

  2. 2

    Prepare Ingredients and Make Pine Nut Butter

    Peel, trim, and cut carrot into 1/2"-wide by 2"-long sticks.

    Finely chop pine nuts.

    Stem and coarsely chop rosemary.

    Combine pine nuts and softened plain butter in a mixing bowl. Set aside.

    Pat chicken dry and season both sides with seasoned salt and a pinch of pepper.

  3. 3

    Roast the Carrots

    Short on time? Skip roasting. Cook carrots in a large non-stick pan over medium-high heat with 2 tsp. olive oil, 1/4 tsp. salt, and a pinch of pepper. Stir often until browned, 4-6 minutes. Add 1/4 cup water and cover. Cook until water evaporates and carrots are tender, 2-3 minutes. Remove from burner. Stir in rosemary and honey.

    Place carrots on prepared baking sheet and toss with 2 tsp. olive oil, 1 tsp. rosemary (use more, if desired), 1/4 tsp. salt, and a pinch of pepper. Spread into a single layer.

    Roast in hot oven until tender and lightly browned, 15-18 minutes.

    Carefully remove from oven. Drizzle honey over roasted carrots.

    While carrots roast, continue recipe.

  4. 4

    Cook the Chicken

    Place a medium non-stick pan over medium heat and add 1 tsp. olive oil.

    Add chicken to hot pan and cook until browned and chicken reaches a minimum internal temperature of 165 degrees, 5-7 minutes per side.

    Remove from burner.
