Cheesy Hasselback Potato Gratin
Who doesn't love a cheesy potato gratin? This Cheesy Hasselback Potato Gratin has creamy, layered potatoes that are baked to become crispy browned on top. It's a recipe where Hasselback potatoes meet gratin. The potatoes are thinly sliced and put in the casserole dish vertically, which creates way more crispy edges.

Peach Parfait with Salted Graham Cracker Crumble
When peaches are in peak season during the summer, I like to serve them for dessert. I made this Peach Parfait with Salted Graham Cracker Crumble. I have to say the salted graham cracker crumble is so good I could eat it on everything! You could also serve this with ice cream instead of whipped cream.

Leek and Potato Soufflé With Ham and Fontina
I made this Leek and Potato Soufflé With Ham and Fontina. We have made Gruyère Cheese and Chive Soufflé for over 32 years. This leek and potato version is less of a soufflé and more of a fluffy potato dish. The leeks and ham elevated the flavor of the potatoes. If you’re afraid of making a soufflé, this is a good place to start. The potatoes make it less delicate, so it’s less likely to fall.

Apple Tart with Rosemary & Honey Syrup
This Apple Tart with Rosemary & Honey Syrup is easy to make with frozen store-bought puff pastry. The rosemary-infused honey drizzled on at the end really adds complexity to this simple tart.

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.

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.

Mushroom & Leek Bread Pudding
This make-ahead Mushroom & Leek Bread Pudding from Ina Garten is a great side dish for any holiday meal or brunch. Bread pudding is typically a dessert, but this is a savory version. It sits overnight in the refrigerator and is baked the next day.

Zucchini Tart with Whipped Feta and Thyme
Yesterday, I thought there was nothing for lunch, but rummaged through the fridge and freezer and found one zucchini and some puff pastry. I came up with this Zucchini Tart with Whipped Feta and Thyme. Whipped feta is all over the internet and decided to see what all the hype was about. It's very versatile, you can use it as a dip, spread it on sandwiches, or even on pizza. It's really delicious.
