Grilled Lamb Chops with Herb Sauce

Spring is definitely the season for grilled lamb chops. If you’re like many, you have a preconceived notion that lamb is too gamey with a robust flavor. However, grilled chops marinated in earthy herbs, garlic and lemon zest mellow the flavor. Grilled lamb chops are an easy dinner that you can have […]

Cacio e Pepe

Over the years, I’ve tackled this pasta dish a few different ways. This recipe comes from “Brooklyn Supper” and is fool proof. As simple as this 4 ingredient pasta is, you can end up with clumpy cheese and a thin sauce… but not with this Cacio e Pepe. (Literally means […]

Panko Coated Chicken Schnitzel

Another quick weeknight dinner. This breaded cutlet goes by many names…schnitzel, milanese, milaneza and more. By any name, Chicken Schnitzel, a traditional Austrian dish, (although there is some dispute it originated in Italy) is made up of thin cutlets of chicken that are panko-breaded and lightly pan-fried. It’s quick and […]

Sole Meuniere

Sole Meuniere is a classic French dish made with sole fillets. Dover sole is meaty and succulent, but with a delicate flavor. When it comes to cooking, the simplest way is the best, as in classic sole meunière, where butter and lemon subtly enhance the taste and texture. Sole Meuniere 4-6 […]

Filet O’ Fish and Chips Sandwich

This delicious and crispy Fried Fish Sandwich is a “healthier” take on your Friday fish-fry. A simple fish patty with a dollop of tartar sauce and a slice of cheese sandwiched between soft buns. This version skips the heavy batter and spends less time in the oil. In classic fashion, […]

New Orleans-Style Barbecue Shrimp

New Orleans Barbecue Shrimp actually has very little to do with barbecue. This dish never touches a barbecue or grill. A New Orleans classic, the shrimp are bathed in a buttery sauce with loads of hot sauce, worcestershire sauce, and garlic. If you keep shrimp in your freezer, it’s one […]

Loaded Brisket Baked Potato and Tomatillo Jam

Leftover brisket? I love turning leftovers into another meal and making it seem like an original. Adding a savory-sweet tomatillo jam pairs perfectly with the spicy, tangy brisket.

The Best Bolognese

It’s a snow day around here and my kitchen is begging for a slow-cooked meal. Bolognese fits that bill. When you think of Bolognese you probably think of a meat sauce. Yes, a true Bolognese does include meat (like Marcella’s Hazan’s famous recipe) but it also contains dairy like milk […]

Black Bean Burger with Chipolte Mayo

Black bean burgers are a wonderful way to cut back on meat and get the protein you need. They are a healthier meatless alternative to traditional burgers, plus you get all the amazing benefits of beans. Black beans are a nutrient-rich food that are loaded with potassium, fiber, folate, protein, […]

Pan Seared Halibut with Orange Sauce

Three ingredients: orange juice, soy sauce, butter. This simple, rich citric sauce (another Keller stunner) is the perfect companion for Halibut. I could not love this dish any more!!! A good substitution for halibut is grouper, sea bass or mahi, mahi. Orange Sauce 1 cup orange juice, about 3 medium […]

Kielbasa Split Pea Soup

Split pea soup is one of my favorite comfort foods. This creamy, smokey, earthy soup contrasts nicely with the crispy sausage. Adding a ham hock enhances that smokiness. This soup is super easy to make. You simply sauté vegetables, then add all other ingredients into the pot and simmer for […]

Sunday cooking!! Even if you’re not a cabbage lover, you will be with this winning combination. A whole Chicken atop cabbage, Yukon potatoes and carrots are roasted at 400 degrees.

Best Chicken and Dumplings

Heartier than chicken soup, this classic comfort dish is more like a stew with a simple biscuit dough added in the last minutes. Typically you start with whole chicken or pieces to make a broth, but there are many shortcuts. I made my broth with 2 lbs of chicken breasts. […]

Ribollita Soup

Happy New Year!  I’m happy to have finally resolved technical difficulties that have kept me from sharing delish recipes with you over the last month or so. Thank you for your patience and support.
