Cooking Method: Frying
Crispy Broccoli Parmesan Fritters
I made dinner from my freezer last night, I didn't feel like going to the market in 100° F heat. The recipe calls for fresh broccoli, but I used frozen instead.
Crispy Broccoli Parmesan Fritters are made with simple ingredients - broccoli, onion, eggs, flour, Parmesan cheese, and seasonings. The broccoli is cooked until tender, then mashed and mixed with the other ingredients. It's then fried until golden brown and crispy.

Baked Bacon and Leek Risotto
I found this recipe on Sainsbury's website. I have completely changed it. Yes, Baked Bacon and Leek Risotto is much easier to make than stovetop risotto. The oven does the hard work of cooking the rice, so you don't have to stand over the stove stirring constantly. This dish is also less likely to overcook, as the oven will keep the risotto moist and creamy.

Rosemary-Sizzled Salami, Dates, and Pecans
My daughter Zoe made Rosemary-Sizzled Salami, Dates, and Pecans from Bon Appétit for a party. It's a warm mix of nuts and salami which is perfect to add to a charcuterie plate. The salami gets slightly crispy and sweet dates chewy and pairs perfectly with the saltiness of the salami.

This Creamy Pasta with Broccoli and Bacon is quick and a wonderful weeknight dinner. It's sure to satisfy your whole family. Sun-dried tomatoes give it a tangy and subtly sweet flavor, which pairs well with the saltiness of the bacon. You can also add chicken breast if you want to add more protein.

Fried Cheese Wedges with Everything but the Bagel Seasoning
I will admit that I happen to love Laughing Cow Cheese. I made Fried Cheese Wedges with Everything but the Bagel Seasoning and it was a revelation. Dip them in flour, egg, seasoning, and fry. Serve with crackers.

Maple Bourbon Salmon
This Maple Bourbon Salmon is like something you might get served at a luxurious lodge. It's sweet but perfectly suited to salmon. We finished it with Malden salt which actually gives it a salted caramel vibe and the walnuts give it a nice crunch.

Alice Springs Chicken
Alice Springs Chicken is from Outback Steakhouse.The chicken breast is marinated, grilled and topped with sautéed mushrooms, crisp bacon, melted Monterey Jack, Cheddar cheese and honey mustard sauce. I have never been to an Outback Steakhouse and not sure why you wouldn't order a steak! Apparently, this chicken dish is very popular. The chicken is so tender and juicy!

Pan-Fried Giant Latke with Caramelized Apples and Sour Cream
I happen to love latkes, but making them is a process. This Pan-Fried Giant Latke with Caramelized Apples and Sour Cream is kind of cheating, but it works. You can serve it in slices. I left out the matzo meal. My method of squeezing the water out of the potatoes is using a potato ricer, which is one of my favorite kitchen tools. I also use it for spinach, canned artichoke hearts, etc and it make the best mashed potatoes.
