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.

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!
