Chicken and Sausage Gumbo
This Chicken and Sausage Gumbo recipe is relatively quick to pull together compared to most traditional recipes. After preparing the roux, most of the time spent making gumbo is basically hands-free. You’ll just need to stir the pot occasionally to prevent sticking. You can serve it over rice for a complete meal and freeze the leftovers in gallon-size freezer bags. If there are any leftovers! Here is the recipe.

Crispy Orange Beef
Deep-Fried Doesn't Have to Mean Greasy, this beef only about 2 tablespoons of oil. Traditionally, Crispy Orange Beef is made by frying multiple batches of lightly battered beef in about 8 cups of oil. This recipe replaces the batter with a coating of cornstarch and freezing the dredged pieces of beef for easier handling as well as decreasing the oil. The sauce uses orange pith as well as zest to add complex bitter notes.

Limoncello Tiramisu
One of my daughter Grace's favorite desserts is Tiramisu. I wanted to try something new. I made this Limoncello Tiramisu - actually that is a lie. My husband made it. I bought the ingredients and he threw it together. The hardest part about making Tiramisu is finding the @&%#$! ladyfingers! It's super lemony and delicious.

Sadly, our local go-to Mexican restaurant is closing in a few days. One of my favorite items on the menu:

When I lived in New York in the '80s, I used to make a version of this Cauliflower, Broccoli, and Chickpea Curry. Mainly because I LOVE Indian food and it is very cheap to make. Sometimes I would make it with chicken.
