Tennessee Onions
I have to admit, I had never heard of Tennessee Onions. It appeared in my inbox, so I thought I would try it. It's very simple to make and could be a side dish to any kind of meat or used on a burger. You use sweet onion like Vidalia. Vidalia onions are a type of sweet onion. They have a mild flavor, and a relatively high sugar content. This would also be great to put on the grill.

Filet Mignon with Mustard Cream Sauce
We have recently discovered a fabulous gourmet store/warehouse, which we have been to twice in two weeks! Anyway, I bought this "fancy" mustard and my husband made this Filet Mignon with Mustard Cream Sauce. The mustard that we used is Edmond Fallot Blackcurrant Dijon Mustard. They have many other flavors, which I will be experimenting with soon. Also, you should be using your good dishes and not wait for some special occasion or holiday. Why have nice dishes and cutlery if you are not going to use them! I think a filet mignon merits some fine china. I once cooked for a very hoity-toity lady. After the butler (wearing a tux, I kid you not!) let me in the back door, she asked me if I knew my way around fine china. Needless to say, I did not work for her for long.

Paprika Chicken, Eggplant and Tomato Bake
This Paprika Chicken, Eggplant and Tomato Bake is a recipe from Australia. I know it looks burnt, but it's just crispy and really delicious. This is so fast and easy to throw on a sheet pan. I just happened to have some leftover chicken thighs and a random eggplant. I cut this recipe in half for the two of us.

Coq Au Vin Blanc
Coq au vin is a classic French dish of chicken that is braised in wine, with bacon, and mushrooms. A red Burgundy wine is typically used, though there are variations in the different regions of France, such as coq au vin jaune, coq au riesling, coq au pourpre or coq au violet, and coq au Champagne. I actually prefer it using white wine. Coq au vin is basically a chicken stew.

Crispy Parmesan Potato Stacks
These Crispy Parmesan Potato Stacks are SO crispy. I am always on a quest to find the crispest potato recipes. These are a quick and easy alternative to classic roast potatoes. Unless you have serious knife skills, I suggest you get a mandoline. You can get one on Amazon. Just be VERY careful!

Salmon with Rhubarb Sauce
I somehow woke up and decided I wanted to make some sort of sauce with rhubarb for salmon. It's a ridiculous idea in February when rhubarb is not exactly available, so I ended up buying some rhubarb preserves. This Salmon with Rhubarb Sauce is a revelation. The tartness of the rhubarb preserves works well to cut through the richness of the salmon.

Thomas Keller’s Oven-Roasted Zucchini
Thomas Keller's (The French Laundry) Oven-Roasted Zucchini recipe seems to have gone viral. It looked so good that I had to try it. He scores the cut zucchini and fries them in a very hot pan, then roasts them in the oven to create this amazing crispy and soft zucchini. Then it's topped with a mixture of tomatoes, shallots, and fresh herbs. I will be making this quite a bit next summer when the zucchini is fresh from the garden. I've also seen this topped with a Greek yogurt and pistachios.
