Crispy Baked Pork Chops with Parmesan
This is one of the recipes I found in my stack of magazines over the weekend. It's a Paula Deen (trying to eat healthy) recipe - baked, not fried... PS - I didn't have any flat leaf parsley...

Classic Baked Macaroni & Cheese
Every Monday, I make Macaroni & Cheese for a school, for 11 years. I can only image how much macaroni I've boiled - 10 lbs per week. I guess you could say that I'm fairly good at it. However, this recipe is NOT the school recipe. That one is done on the stove top and this recipe is baked with breadcrumbs. Let's face it, there is nothing better than mac n' cheese.

Hasselback Potatoes UnPlugged
I love Hasselback Potatoes! Hasselback potatoes cut in such a way as to resemble a fan or accordion when roasted. The name is derived from the restaurant where they were first introduced in the 1940s, Hasselbacken in Stockholm, Sweden which opened in that city in 1748 and where they are called hasselbackspotatis. The outside of the potato becomes crisp and brown while the inside is soft and creamy. This version is sort of cheating because you cut the potatoes all the way through.

Roasted Smoky Cauliflower with Limey Yogurt
Last weekend, we had dinner with my culinary/photographer (he took my new head shots!) friend Chris and his wife. He is an amazing chef and made this wonderful cauliflower, which could be served as a snack or side dish. It's a recipe from Aarti Sequeira, who had a Food Network program called Aarti Party.

Roasted Balsamic Glazed Mushrooms
I love all kinds of mushrooms. They give an earthiness and depth of flavor to many dishes. The key to this recipe is to heat your baking sheet in a 500 degree F oven before adding the mushrooms. I learned this technique at a cooking class I took at Pizzeria Mozza in Los Angeles.

I have lots of fresh herbs in the garden and decided to create this pork tenderloin recipe using some oranges. It's very flavorful and tender. I love cooking in cast iron skillets.
