Lemon Rosemary Zucchini Bread
You turn your back on the garden for a day and then find a 5-pound zucchini the size of a baseball bat! I decided to make some zucchini bread, but I wanted something a bit different. I found this Lemon Rosemary Zucchini Bread. It has great flavor. I love to put it in the toaster.

Burrito Pie
Here's another socially distant dinner I made in my Instant Pot on my Dad's porch. You can also make this layered Burrito Pie in the oven. It's everything in a burrito - meat, refried beans and cheese that are stacked up with tomatoes and baked.

Chicken Wrapped in Bacon with Peaches & Brie
This Chicken Wrapped in Bacon with Peaches & Brie is a great way to use ripe peaches. I have a love-hate feeling about stone fruit. They are on your counter hard as a rock and then they are ripe and go bad very quickly. This recipe works because of the sweetness of the peaches and saltiness of the bacon and then, of course, there is gooey cheese!

Meatloaf Pie
We have been having socially distant dinners on my Dad's porch. I bring my Instant Pot and plug it in outside. The neighbors always come and ask what I'm making! After making Lasagna, which was a huge hit, I wanted to come up with more things I can make in my 6" removable bottom pan. I love the fact that you can easily slice it into pie shaped wedges. You can also make this in the oven with the same pan. The recipe has a topping, but my Dad just likes ketchup on the side.

Chicken Lombardy
This Chicken Lombardy is juice, cheesy and delicious. I think the only difference between Chicken Lombardy and Chicken Marsala is that this dish has cheese. It does call for Marsala wine, though you can use dry sherry.

Butternut Squash & Leek Clafoutis
Clafoutis is a baked French dessert of fruit, traditionally cherries, arranged in a buttered dish and covered with a thick flan-like batter. This dessert originated in the Limousin area of France, where batters play an important role. This Butternut Squash and Leek Clafoutis is a savory version. It's simple to make and my husband absolutely loved it and wants me to keep the recipe handy. The problem with me, (and I have many problems!) is that I make so many new things that I forget to make some of our old favorites.

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.
