Lemon and Dill Risotto with Roast Chicken

My daughter Grace made us this fabulous Lemon and Dill Risotto with Roast Chicken. It's so easy and all done in one pan. If you are intimidated by risotto, just relax, the rice gets cooked under the chicken. All the juices from the chicken adds depth of flavor to the risotto. If you don't want to spatchcock your chicken, just use bone-in chicken pieces or thighs.

One Skillet French Onion Tater Tot Casserole

I recently made this Tater Tot Cowboy Casserole. It was insanely good, so I made another version of it. One-Skillet French Onion Tater Tot Casserole is a cross between French onion soup and a classic midwest style tater tot casserole. It is made with caramelized onions, ground beef, bell peppers, garlic, and topped with a layer of Gruyère cheese, tater tots and baked in the oven until the tater tots are golden brown and then get an extra layer of cheddar cheese.

Marmite Chicken with Cacio e Pepe Butter Beans

Marmite’s distinctive taste is represented in the marketing slogan: "Love it or hate it." Such is its prominence in British popular culture that Marmite is often used as a metaphor for something, or even someone, that is an acquired taste or polarizing. This Marmite Chicken with Cacio e Pepe Butter Beans is absolutely delicious. The marmite adds a subtle umami flavor to the chicken and using the starchy bean liquid works perfectly in place of the starchy pasta water in a traditional cacio e pepe; it emulsifies perfectly with the parmesan to create a silky, glossy sauce.
