Creamy Lemon Chicken Linguini with Broccoli
My daughter Grace looked through our refrigerator, gathered ingredients and made this Creamy Lemon Chicken Linguini with Broccoli. There is nothing I like more than watching her cook. She used several techniques that I consider advanced and made this dish up on the fly. The results were absolutely superb.

Lentil Salad with Lemon Dressing
This Lentil Salad with Lemon Dressing great for a picnic. The combination of cucumbers, sun-dried tomatoes, red onion and fresh mint goes perfectly with the lemony dressing. Lentils are an excellent source of B vitamins, iron, magnesium, potassium and zinc. They are high in protein, fiber and a great choice for the heart and for managing blood pressure and cholesterol. I could go on with even more health benefits of lentils!

Blistered Shishito Peppers with Soy-Ginger Sauce
Shishito peppers have become a popular appetizer. They are mostly mild, but about one out of ten are spicy, which adds an element of surprise. The person that gets the spicy one will have good luck! The other interesting aspect of this dish is when you add the bonito flakes (dried fish flakes) on top before serving they move and dance from the heat of the peppers.
Lamb Chili
My father has been going through some major health issues and needs to eat more. We were out at a restaurant and he ordered Lamb Chili, which he absolutely loved. I decided to make him a big pot of it and have included two methods - stovetop and Instant Pot. This was definitely a labor of love given that I really hate lamb!

Tokyo Hot Dog
My daughter and her boyfriend took me to this fun brewery in Portsmouth, New Hampshire. They wanted me to try the Tokyo hot dog. All I can say is that I'm hooked and I want to make this when I get home! I love hot dogs. This Tokyo hot dog is a new and different way to serve hot dogs. Put away the boring ketchup, mustard and relish and try this!

Sheet Pan Chicken with Jammy Tomatoes and Pancetta
I made this Sheet Pan Chicken with Jammy Tomatoes and Pancetta while I was visiting my mom, brother and his family. I love sheet pan dinners because of the easy prep and clean up. This calls for chicken thighs, but if you'd rather use boneless chicken breasts, reduce the cooking time by about 5-7 minutes. The jammy tomatoes, which are sometimes called burst tomatoes create a sauce for the chicken. You can even use tomatoes that are looking a bit wrinkly! Waste not, want not!

Frozen Margarita Pie
I am visiting my daughter on the east coast and she made Frozen Margarita Pie, which is absolutely delicious. This tart pie filling pairs nicely with the rich graham cracker crust. It is an easy, make-ahead dessert that allows you one last cocktail after dinner all the while keeping you cool. And, it keeps your oven off in the summer.

You can brighten up your summertime barbeques with this topical salsa. My husband made this Pineapple Jalapeño Salsa, which works on chicken, fish, shrimp, pork or you can use it in fish tacos, or even with black beans as a side dish. This sweet and spicy salsa also has a hint of fresh basil.
