Zucchini Marinated with Lemon & Mint
Zucchini is transformed when it’s sliced very thinly and it marinated in a lemony vinaigrette. You should assemble this dish at least four hours before you wish to serve it so that the zucchini has time to soak up the lemony marinade.

Seared Pork Chops with Shiitake and Enoki Mushrooms
This Seared Pork Chops with Shiitake and Enoki Mushrooms was a way for me to use up extra mushrooms that were leftover from a Shabu Shabu dinner. The original recipe did not have enoki mushrooms, so you can leave those out if you like.

Grilled Turkey, Brie, and Apple Butter Sandwich with Arugula
I'm not a fan of turkey and I hate boring sandwiches! This Grilled Turkey, Brie, and Apple Butter Sandwich with Arugula is anything but boring. The combination of creamy, melted brie, sliced turkey, apple butter and peppery arugula is heavenly.

Quick Apple Tart
This Quick Apple Tart Recipe makes a rustic dessert recipe that everyone loves! Instead of using apricot jam, I found Apple Cider Jam from Trader Joe's, though apricot works too. You can serve it with ice cream, whipped cream, powdered sugar….

Buffalo Chicken Pizza
One night my kids and my nephew were over. It was very late at night and they were hanging out in the kitchen. I went to bed and woke up at midnight to a heated argument between my daughter and her boyfriend. It was very loud and seemed rather intense. In the morning when I woke up I asked my husband what on EARTH WERE THEY FIGHTING ABOUT!? He said it was about Buffalo Chicken Pizza. Seriously? My daughter thinks that it's a ridiculous idea, but it's one of her boyfriend's favorites. I promptly went to the market and bought a bottle of Franks Hot Red Sauce and some chicken, threw it in the instant pot and shredded it up. We were planning a Big Green Egg pizza grilling night, so I added it to the menu. It turns out, it was one of the best pizzas of the night! It was topped off with some ranch dressing and sliced celery. They vetoed the blue cheese!

Almond Pear Tart
I have made many Almond Pear Tarts. This one is a simple yet elegant tart featuring delicious fresh pears. The almond flavor marries perfectly with the sweetness of the pears, a match made in heaven.

Pasta with Potatoes, Shallots, Sage, and Gorgonzola
This Pasta with Potatoes, Shallots, Sage, and Gorgonzola reminds me of a dish from the Northen Italian region of Liguria. The classic is a dish I made a while ago called Croxetti with Potatoes, Green Beans & Pesto. It seems counter-intuitive to add potatoes to a pasta dish - starch on starch, but it does work.
