Lemon Madeleines
Our neighbor gave us an enormous bag of lemons, so I made Lemon Madeleines. They are easy to make, but you have to have a Madeleine pan. They came out super moist and lemony.

Lemony Shrimp Risotto
I made this Lemony Shrimp Risotto in my Instant Pot, but have also included the stovetop instructions. I have to say, I love making risotto in the Instant Pot because it's fast and you don't have to stand there and stir it. The lemon adds a bright and tangy note to the shrimp.

Gochujang-Braised Chicken and Crispy Rice
I had some chicken legs leftover and searched for something interesting to do with them. I found this recipe for Gochujang-Braised Chicken and Crispy Rice. Although it seems like a long list of ingredients, it's rather easy to prepare. The spicy Gochujang paste gives it the perfect amount of heat. The crispy rice is mixed with spices, made into patties, and fried. My husband thought the sauce should be thicker, which can be achieved by taking the drumsticks out of the pan and whisking in some cornstarch.

Potato, Ham & Leek Gratin
We love leeks and I always say, they are under-utilized in the US. This Potato, Ham & Leek Gratin is a classic combination. You can leave out the ham to make it vegetarian. It gets topped with Gruyère cheese. What's not to love?

Melting Cabbage
Melting Cabbage literally melts in your mouth. It's nestled in a bed of caramelized fennel and braised in tomato and wine and finished in the oven. You add parmesan rind, which is an Italian trick that adds depth of flavor. I keep parmesan rinds in a bag in the freezer and use them in soups and stews.

Curried Lentil Soup
I made this Curried Lentil Soup in my Instant Pot, but as always, I have included the stovetop instructions. This soup is vegan and gluten-free and full of flavor. Lentils are high in protein and fiber and low in fat, which makes them a healthy substitute for meat. They're also packed with folate, iron, phosphorus, potassium and fiber. I dropped gave some to my step mother and she is begging me to make it again. It's really good served with naan bread.

Maple Bourbon Salmon
This Maple Bourbon Salmon is like something you might get served at a luxurious lodge. It's sweet but perfectly suited to salmon. We finished it with Malden salt which actually gives it a salted caramel vibe and the walnuts give it a nice crunch.

Cauliflower Toasts
I made Ina Garten's Cauliflower Toasts and I now want to make it again. Apparently, it's one of Ina's favorite things to have for lunch. It calls for prosciutto, but you could leave it out to make it vegetarian. You can use any cheese you like. Also, you can double the cauliflower mixture and keep in your freezer.
