What We’re Cooking

A good deal is my favorite inspiration for what to cook. Each week, I share a few recipes I'm excited about that make the most of what's on sale around Portland, helping you plan your meals and your shopping list at the same time.

I brined this organic Diestel Family Ranch boneless turkey breast for about 20 hours, rubbed it with my homemade New Mexican BBQ spice rub, and smoked it low and slow for nearly three hours. The results were moist, flavorful, and fantastic. Get the recipe below. (Bryan M. Vance/Stumptown Savings)

Smoked Turkey Breast

I’m a big believer that turkey shouldn’t be reserved just for Thanksgiving, and with Fred Meyer’s weekend deal on frozen turkey breasts for just $0.99/lb., now is the perfect time to cook one. I actually made this last night with a boneless breast I had in the freezer, following the brine from this recipe to guarantee it stays juicy and tender. While the recipe calls for a classic BBQ rub, I’m opting for my own New Mexican-inspired spice blend. It’s a fantastic, low-effort way to get a big-flavor meal that feels special any night of the week. And the leftovers are PERFECT for soup or enchiladas.

Classic Pot Roast

Is there anything better than the smell of a pot roast on a crisp fall day? Several stores have chuck roasts on sale this week, making it the perfect time for this classic. Braised slowly with hearty veggies like carrots, onions, and potatoes, it’s a flavorful, warming one-pot meal that’s practically made for a rainy Sunday.

One-Pot Whole Roasted Chicken and Rice

This week’s deals on whole chickens are practically begging to be turned into a delicious one-pot meal. This recipe for a whole roasted chicken cooked over rice reminds me of an amazing dish I had at Coquine earlier this year that I still daydream about. Pair it with a simple side salad with a bright, acidic vinaigrette, and you have a winner, winner, chicken dinner!

Creamy Roasted Pumpkin Soup

At a party last week, a friend and I realized we almost always eat pumpkin in sweet dishes, which got me thinking: what about a savory pumpkin soup? Lo and behold, pie pumpkins are on sale all over town this week! (Just be sure you're using a cooking pumpkin, not a carving one.) This creamy soup recipe gets fantastic reviews and would be absolutely perfect with a gooey grilled cheese for dipping. Yum!
