Cider Braised Pork Chops with Apples
I've made many versions of pork chops and apples. I really like this one. I actually made a mistake and used apple cider vinegar instead of apple cider. It worked, though you might want to try it the way it's meant to be.

Peanut Butter Ramen Noodles
One of the things (which my husband Eric invented) I always made for my kids is something we call peanut butter ramen noodles. By adding peanut butter, it adds some much needed protein. I also like to add some shelled edamame for even more of a protein boost. It's really delicious!

Curried Coconut Thai Chicken with Satay Dip
Curried Coconut Thai Chicken with Satay Dip makes a great appetizer to serve at a party. I have been making this for years. Marinating the chicken is key to give it loads of flavor.

Veal Goulash with Egg Noodles
One of my clients that I personal chef for requested I make this dish. I made this healthy version using non-fat sour cream, no salt, canola oil spray instead of butter and No Yokes Noodles. It got rave reviews. Eric wants me to make this for us soon. I know most people are horrified about using veal, if so, use beef instead.

Coffee Jelly
While we were in Japan, I saw this sign at every Starbucks we passed. Coffee Jelly is served in the summer. You can serve it with cream, chocolate sauce, ice cream, whipped cream, or flavored coffee cream! It's actually really good. You don't have to serve coffee with dessert!

Rigatoni in Woodsman’s Sauce
Last night, I felt like cooking something new and different. I grabbed a random cookbook and opened a random page and made dinner. Here is what happened. It was a huge success and hit with the family.

Pasta Florentine
Florentine, or the term à la Florentine, refers to a recipe that is prepared in the style of the Italian region of Florence. Over the years it has come to mean cuisine that includes spinach as an ingredient. I love making this for a crowd because it is vegetarian. This is a recipe that I have adapted over the years from a cookbook that my aunt Marjorie gave me from New Orleans called Artist's Palate Cookbook, New Orleans Museum of Art.

Frittata with Italian Sausage, Spaghetti & Tomatoes
I have made many frittatas in my day. It's a great way to use up leftovers. I found a recipe for spaghetti frittata in an elevator in downtown Los Angeles (you will have to click on the link). Anyway, I made this version last night and it was really good and very easy. What I like about frittatas in general, is that they can be eaten hot, warm, room temperature or cold.
