Welcome to Tonja’s Table. I have been inspired by many friends and family to share my recipes and love for cooking.
Indulgent. Decadent. Comforting. Homey. All the things you want an Easter side dish to be. Splurging during holidays is my M.O. and I think you should enjoy every luscious bite too. Scalloped potatoes differ from Au gratin in that the potatoes are sliced a little thicker and are covered with a cheesy bechamel sauce. I…
Roasted cauliflower is an obsession of mine. It’s so versatile—has so many possibilities. This recipe is also shockingly easy, beyond healthy, and SO addictive. My version here includes turmeric and cumin then finishes on a smooth, creamy, tangy feta spread. Oh yah–you need to make this soon. It’s full of fiber, antioxidants, and vitamins. This…
It’s never too early to fire up your grill when spring arrives. And it’s never too early for a margarita! Let’s combine all this goodness and make some Margarita-Marinated Steak Tacos. I love the combo of Tequila, Mexican beer, citrus flavors and the kick of chipotle peppers. The marinade turns into an amazing sauce to…
It’s the end of March and I am having major tomato withdrawal here in Minnesota. I’ve remedied myself with some sweet blistered cherry tomatoes that I’ve popped in the oven. These little gems are so incredibly easy and bursting with flavor. I grilled up some focaccia bread and added some creamy burrata (Italian cheese made…
This yogurt and spice marinated Moroccan grilled chicken is beyond delicious and so incredibly easy and fast! If you’ve never had pickled red onions before you’ll be wondering why. They add an amazing crunch and flavor and take only 5 minutes to put together. It doesn’t get any easier or more delicious than this grilled…
Mardi Gras is upon on us so even though we might not be in New Orleans for the big celebration we can do Fat Tuesday proud with this Cajun Shrimp and Sausage Pasta. This mildly spicy and wonderfully creamy pasta is a delicious and flavorful restaurant-quality meal to whip up and have ready in a…
I created this recipe for a fun “Sip and Shop” event hosted at Anthropologie–the beautiful clothing and home store. Farro has become a fast favorite over the past few years. It’s an ancient grain that has a nutty flavor and when cooked has a unique chewy texture. Roasting cauliflower is a must. It completely changes the…
When my husband and I were in Miami last year celebrating our anniversary we ate at Jean-Geroges’ The Matador where I ordered Arroz Con Pollo. I have been thinking about this dish ever since. I’ve finally made my version at home and am so excited to share it with you. Every culture has their own version of…
If you’ve abandoned the idea of an expensive dinner reservation on Valentines Day (like we did long ago), but you want a restaurant quality meal you can share and make in just one skillet, this herb and Butter Basted Steak is just the thing for you and yours. Moist, juicy, flavorful and guaranteed to make…
