Aunt Bambi’s Chile Colorado

My friend Chris, whose family calls her “Aunt Bambi” (there must be an interesting story there!), had us for a socially distant dinner in her backyard and made this incredible Chile Colorado. By the way, Colorado has nothing to do with the state of Colorado. Colorado is of Spanish origin, meaning "colored red.” Chile Colorado (sometimes spelled Chili Colorado) is a Mexican dish featuring a red sauce and tender pieces of beef. There is a small amount of chocolate in it and is typically eaten with beans, rice, and tortillas.

Instant Pot Lasagna

I made this Instant Pot Lasagna using my 7” Fat Daddio's Round Removal Bottom Cheesecake Pan. I have to say, it was the best lasagna I have ever made. I have also included the oven instructions if you do not have an Instant Pot / Pressure Cooker. I love the way it looks and it's so much easier to serve sliced into pie-shaped wedges.

Pesto Salmon Puff Pastry

I found this recipe for Pesto Salmon Puff Pastry and loved the idea. It's a recipe from Frank Tiu, Tasty Team. It's actually a video, which shows how to make it. In full disclosure, my husband Eric made it while I watched. He's more adept at dough... It's actually fairly simple using store-bought pesto and some frozen puff pastry.

Bacon-Wrapped Grissini

These Bacon-Wrapped Grissini are crispy, sweet and salty. The breadsticks get wrapped in bacon and rolled in a brown sugar chili powder mixture and baked. They are so good that they don't last long!

Freezer-Friendly Egg Cups

I've been making a lot of different things for the freezer. I cook all the time, but sometimes I just don't feel like it. These Freezer-Friendly Egg Cups are basically like the Sous-Vide eggs you get at Starbucks. This recipe is very versatile and can be made with many different ingredients. For instance, I used bacon and Gruyère cheese, but you could easily make this vegetarian by using chopped up cherry tomatoes, cheddar (or pepper jack) and fresh basil, etc. Look through you fridge and come up with your favorite combination. I made mine in the Instant Pot with a silicone mold, but I have also included the instructions for your oven. You just take them out of the freezer and microwave for 1½ minutes and voilà, you have breakfast!

Amish Cheese Pennies

Amish Cheese Pennies are a cheesy cracker popular in the 1950's. These have few ingredients and are bound only by butter and cheese. You are supposed to roll them out to the diameter of a quarter. So why are they called cheese pennies!? The nice thing is the recipe makes 4 rolls that you can keep in the freezer and make them whenever someone stops by, which, let's face it, is unlikely to happen any time soon!

Ginger Ale Pork Chops

If you are a fan of ginger, you must try these Ginger Ale Pork Chops. It literally couldn't get any more ginger-y! It has powdered ginger, ginger ale, fresh ginger, and crystallized ginger. It's a tad sweet because of the ginger ale (NO, do not use diet ginger ale!), but it's delicious and topped off with walnuts and golden raisins.

Harvey Wallbanger Cake

Harvey Wallbanger Cake. The Harvey Wallbanger is a mixed drink made with vodka, Galliano (a sweet, herbal Italian liqueur), and orange juice. According to folklore, a bartender named Donato "Duke" Antone invented the Harvey Wallbanger in 1952. It's said he named it after a Manhattan Beach surfer and bar regular named Tom Harvey, who is a complete mystery. The cocktail became popular in the early 1970s. I have no idea who decided to make a cake from the cocktail, but it's a rather good idea. I did not have Galliano, so I used Cuarenta y Tres or  Licor 43, which worked well.

Cornmeal, Bacon, and Sun-Dried Tomato Madeleines

These Cornmeal, Bacon, and Sun-Dried Tomato Madeleines are about as good as it gets! For some reason, I happen to own 4 French Madeleine pans! I love the savory flavor that the bacon and sun-dried tomatoes impart. These are great to serve with a glass of wine.

Elvis Presley’s Favorite Pound Cake

My friend Chris made Elvis Presley's Favorite Pound Cake. It was really the best pound cake I have ever had. It has such a great texture and the vanilla really shines. According to legend, Elvis could polish off the entire cake in one sitting. This somehow doesn't surprise me! There seems to be many versions of this cake, but Chris's is the bomb!
