Grilled Broccoli
This Grilled Broccoli is something I will have on repeat. It's marinated in soy sauce, honey, Worcestershire, and ketchup, which gives the broccoli so much flavor. It's ready for the grill in 10 minutes, alternatively, you can roast it in the oven at 425°F for 16-20 minutes.

Balsamic Roasted Cabbage
This Balsamic Roasted Cabbage recipe is easy and delicious. They’re brushed with a little olive oil, salt, and pepper, and then get a drizzle of balsamic vinegar and honey. Cabbage is the second most economical cooked vegetable in terms of price per edible cup, second only to potatoes. Not only that, it's loaded with nutritional benefits and there are so many ways to cook it.

Sweet Potatoes with Orange Bitters
Bitters add a complexity of flavor, usually used in cocktails, as a way to highlight the flavors of a dish.

Dates Stuffed with Goat Cheese and Wrapped in Bacon
These Dates Stuffed with Goat Cheese and Wrapped in Bacon are one of my favorite hors d'oeuvres. I love the sweetness of the dates with the saltiness of the bacon which all come together with the tangy goat cheese. I assemble them earlier in the day ready for the oven later.

Ikra, Eggplant Spread
Ikra is a Ukranian vegetable spread that's made of roasted eggplant, bell peppers, onions, carrots, and garlic. I had it at a restaurant recently and decided to make my own. This deliciously healthy spread can be served with sliced bread, pita chips or would work well with a charcuterie board.

Chicken & Broccoli Braid
I had some leftover pizza dough, so I made this Chicken & Broccoli Braid. You can customize this to suit your taste. For instance, you could use tomatoes, fresh mozzarella, basil... The next time I make this I am going to use puff pastry, you can also use crescent roll dough from the market.

Hot Corn Dip
This Hot Corn Dip is from Celebrate with Babs, by Barbara Costello, 2022. I have to say, it didn't last long, it's so good. You can make it ahead and put it in the oven before serving. I divided it into 2 separate casserole dishes, which worked well.

Salmon with Dill Pickle Butter
I love making salmon because you can use many different cooking techniques. You can pan-fry, roast, broil, grill, poach, bake it in foil or wrap it in parchment (Salmon en Papillote). My preferred method is to roast it in the oven. I changed this Salmon with Dill Pickle Butter recipe from pan-frying to roasting it in the oven. I am always looking for recipes that involve dill pickles since my husband loves anything with pickles. This recipe can't get any easier.
