Coquille Bistro’s Moules Gratinées
I saw an Instagram post of Coquille Bistro in Marseille. They are know for their mussels. "Moules gratinées" (Gratinated Mussels) is a dish that is well-known in coastal areas of France. The mussels are steamed in white wine until they open, then place them in a flameproof dish and top with a compound butter made from butter, minced garlic, grated Parmesan cheese, and fresh, parsley, before broiling until the butter is melted and bubbly. Serve the mussels with a crisp salad and a warm baguette to soak up every last drop of that savory, cheesy butter. It's a simple, delicious way to bring the taste of a seaside bistro in the south of France right to your kitchen.

Apricot Chicken with Charred Scallions
Apricot Chicken with Charred Scallions revolves around tender chicken coated in a sticky, flavorful apricot-based sauce, complemented by salty soy sauce and nutty sesame oil. What truly sets this dish apart are the charred scallions. When cooked at high heat, they transform, adding a smoky, pungent, and subtly sweet onion flavor that elevates the entire dish beyond a basic sweet and sour chicken.

Balsamic Salmon
I have 88 salmon recipes on this site and I have to say this Balsamic Salmon is my absolute favorite. It was so good that we made it again the next day. The key to this truly outstanding balsamic salmon is the reduction. By gently simmering balsamic vinegar, you evaporate water, which concentrates its natural sugars and acids. This creates a syrupy, sweet, and tangy thick sauce that clings beautifully to the salmon.

Fire Roasted Tomato Salsa
I recently entered the "Salsa Bowl" contest at school. I did not win.... It might be because I purposely left out the cilantro. It's one of the ingredients Ina will never use. I'm with her. Having said that, when I made this my husband said it was the best salsa ever. This restaurant-style Fire Roasted Tomato Salsa will become a new staple! Smoky, zesty, and perfectly spiced, this homemade salsa is ideal for any occasion. Featuring roasted Roma tomatoes, tomatillos, peppers, and garlic, it's blended with fresh lime juice and a hint of maple syrup for balanced flavor. Easy to prepare and incredibly versatile, enjoy it as a dip, taco sauce, or to add a burst of flavor to your favorite recipes. And if you have to, add some cilantro. By the way, the winner's salsa was rather splendid.

Chile Rellenos Soup
Chile Rellenos Soup is a creamy and cheesy soup inspired by the classic Mexican Chile Rellenos. Roasted poblano peppers, cheese, and chicken capture the flavors of the traditional dish in an easier-to-make format. To make it easier, I used rotisserie chicken and topped with with crushed tortilla chips. It's really delicious.

Miso Mayo Blistered Green Beans
These Miso Mayo Blistered Green Beans are so good and easy to make. I actually made these in an air fryer at 375° F for about 8 - 10 minutes, shaking it periodically. The recipe says to broil them in the oven. I also just stirred the miso mayo mixture instead of heating on the stove. You can serve them alongside your favorite Asian main course, chicken, pork, steak, etc. Trader Joe's has Miso paste in a convenient resealable pouch.

Sloppy Ottos
Anyone that knows me well, knows that I make the best sloppy joes ever. It's a fact. I have been cooking lunch at a school since 2004 and I made sloppy joes on the first day. I feel like I "hooked" them! Though over the years, many kids are dubious. They don't like the fact that there are little green bits (green peppers) in them. I wised up and cut them up VERY small. Anyway, this is going way off on a tangent! I saw this recipe for Sloppy Ottos, which is a different version. It involves sausage and sauerkraut and the pretzel bun, which is the new thing. I have to say, they were really good and my Dad approved.
