Quick Rosemary Lemon Chicken

If you don't have time to marinate your chicken, this Quick Rosemary Lemon Chicken is the ticket. By pounding the lemon, garlic, rosemary mixture into the chicken before cooking, it adds a lot of flavor and is ready in no time. You can use any herbs you like and serve it on pasta, rice, or with potatoes.

Creamy Parmesan Skillet Eggs

This recipe for Creamy Parmesan Skillet Eggs is from Chrissy Teigen. Oh, to be her, lounging around the house in silky pjs with John Legend! My friend Alice gave me a stack of cookbooks that someone was throwing away. I have to say, this book is genius. I told my husband to go through a put post-it notes on the recipes he wants me to make, which is practically every page! And yes, he stares at the photos of the lovely Sports Illustrated model. Anyway, back to the recipe. I made several changes - 1) no salt needed, because parm has a lot of salt already, ditto for butter - I used unsalted. 2) I only used one egg. 3) I finished it off under the broiler.

Sole Amandine à la Turlock

This recipe for Sole Amandine à la Turlock is something I have adapted and simplified from Michael Chiarello's version. The smoked almonds and sweet golden raisins are a perfect balance of salty, and sweet with great crunch and work well with the delicateness of the sole.

Caprese Egg-in-a-Hole

My brother David loves making Rocky Mountain Toast, which is basically a piece of bread with a hole in it with an egg in the middle and fried up in a pan. This Caprese Egg-in-a-Hole takes it to a whole other level and country, for that matter. I was inspired by the very talented Diane Morrisey on Instagram.

Ham Croquettes (or any other leftover meat and mashed potatoes)

I don't really like leftovers. It's because I do not want to eat the same thing again, so I love to reimagine leftovers in a different way. These Ham Croquettes (or any other leftover meat and mashed potatoes) is a perfect example. By the way, I just ate these and they are to die for! These crispy Ham Croquettes are little logs of seasoned minced ham and mashed potatoes. They would also be good as an appetizer with a cold glass of rosé wine. What's not to love!?

Greek-Stytle Chicken Meatballs

I made these Greek-Style Chicken Meatballs for dinner last night, which reminds me of another recipe called Chicken Zorba.  These meatballs are perfectly flavorful and delicious, which include spinach, lemon and feta cheese. It can be served for an appetizer, lunch or dinner.

Homemade Breakfast Sausage

For some reason, I wanted to make my own sausage patties. These Homemade Breakfast Sausage are easy to make.  I keep them in the freezer to use for my egg McMuffin breakfast sandwiches. I used fresh herbs because I have no dried. You could also make these using ground chicken or turkey.

Fried Egg on a Bed of Hash Browns with Lao Gan Ma Spicy Chili Crisp

Lao Gan Ma Spicy Chili Crisp is the new craze in condiments. ... It's one of China's, and possibly the world's, tastiest chili oils. Spicy Chili Crisp is the classic, full of crispy onions, chilies and Sichuan pepper bits. It's used mostly as a condiment or ingredient in Sichuan cold sauces. My husband came home last night after a 12 hour flight from NY to LA (long story!), so I made him this Fried Egg on a Bed of Hash Browns with Lao Gan Ma Spicy Chili Crisp for breakfast. I thought it might wake him up! It turns out it is really delicious and not too spicy.
