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!

Antipasto Baked Smothered Chicken
Antipasto is the traditional first course of a formal Italian meal. Typical ingredients of a traditional antipasto include cured meats, olives, pepperoncini, mushrooms, anchovies, artichoke hearts, various cheeses, pickled meats, and vegetables in oil or vinegar. This Antipasto Baked Smothered Chicken uses that first course to smother some chicken breasts. The outcome is wonderfully, briny and delicious.

Romaine Salad “Caesar Gratin”
I saw this recipe for Romaine Salad “Caesar Gratin” on Eric Ripert’s Instagram. He is one of my favorite French chefs. We have a salad most days for lunch. I buy romaine almost exclusively because it seems to last the longest. I thought I would try this new twist on a classic Caesar salad. It turns out that it's absolutely delicious and makes a nice presentation. I left out the anchovies, but it's up to you.

Sherried Tomatoes
These Sherried Tomatoes are delicious and make a great side dish to your meal. There is a subtle touch of fresh dill and they can be made 1 hour ahead and then are put under the broiler for a few minutes until the cheese melts and is bubbly and golden.

Josephina’s
I used to cater a big party on New Year's Eve every year and someone always brought this hors d'oeuvres called Josephina’s. It was one of the most delicious appetizers I've ever had. People inhaled them, or as they say in England - "Hoovered" them up. You've got to try them!

Lemon-Garlic Marinated Lamb Chops
Anyone that knows me well, knows that I despise lamb. When we lived in England I had to endure many a Sunday lunch thinking of ways to hoist it over onto my husband's plate without the hostess noticing. I was only sometimes successful... Last week I bought him these lamb chops, gave him the recipe and sat in the living room with a vodka soda while he made them. This just shows how much I love him. So, these Lemon-Garlic Marinated Lamb Chops are Greek-inspired and I was told they were rather good.

Weeknight Beans on Toast
My daughter Grace made me this Weeknight Beans on Toast for Mother's Day dinner. It was so delicious and simple. This recipe will make more ragù than you need, but the leftovers can be repurposed as a quick topper for pasta on another night. Nothing beats the convenience of a bag of spinach, but any green will work here. Try mustard greens, kale, or collard greens.
