Parmesan Crusted Potatoes
I made these Parmesan Crusted Potatoes for dinner. I actually put them in the oven for about 25 minutes before dinner, then I put them back in right before serving. They are really good and easy to make.

Balsamic Roast Pork Tenderloin
Here is a super easy weeknight meal idea. Pork Tenderloin is one of the most versatile cuts of meat you can buy. It cooks very fast at a very high heat. I happened to have balsamic glaze, which worked well because it stays on the meat. You can use regular balsamic vinegar.

Cider Braised Pork Chops with Apples
I've made many versions of pork chops and apples. I really like this one. I actually made a mistake and used apple cider vinegar instead of apple cider. It worked, though you might want to try it the way it's meant to be.

Toasted Brie & Mushroom Open Faced Sandwich
I had this wonderful Toasted Brie & Mushroom Open Faced Sandwich at The Little Flower Candy Company in Pasadena, CA. I don't think of using lemon with mushrooms, but it really works to add a brightness to the dish.

garlic mushrooms and brie toasted and served open faced on baguette with fresh thyme and lemon zest

Cuban Chicken with Pineapple
I went to see the movie Chef with my daughter Zoe. Fortunately, we had the foresight to make this Cuban chicken before we went. Everyone told me that I would want to eat Cuban food after the film, and they were correct! It was a very good movie, by the way. Serve this with Cuban Style Rice and Peas and Havana Black Beans.
