Crispy Braised Chicken Thighs With Cabbage and Bacon
This Crispy Braised Chicken Thighs With Cabbage and Bacon is simply divine.
Braising is a technique which highlights the crispy skin and produces the most tender, fall off the bone chicken underneath. The chicken thighs are nestled in a bed of cabbage and bacon. It's all made in one pan for easy cleanup.

Old-School Pork Chops with Apple and Sage
These Old-School Pork Chops with Apple and Sage is another Jamie Oliver recipe. The chops are finished off with a bit of Stilton cheese on top (you could also use blue cheese or gorgonzola), which elevates it to a whole new level.

This Seared Salmon with Spicy Red Pepper Aioli is from Ina Garten's new cookbook Modern Comfort Food. It is absolutely delicious. The salmon is crusty on the outside, moist on the inside and the red pepper aioli adds a subtle spicy note.

Sausage, Apple, and Squash Sheet-Pan Supper with Fragrant Herb Oil
There is nothing easier than dinner on a sheet-pan. I love cooking with minimal effort. This Sausage, Apple, and Squash Sheet-Pan Supper with Fragrant Herb Oil is a perfect meal this time of year. You can buy butternut squash already cut up to make it even easier and you can use any combination of herbs. Also, you can use sweet Italian sausage or the spicy version. You can probably guess which one I used! I think the spicy sausage and the sweet butternut squash and apple is a winning combination of flavors.

Melting Sweet Potatoes
These Melting Sweet Potatoes are incredibly soft and on the inside and crispy on the outside. You roast them in a very hot oven using a metal pan, a glass pan will shatter in the oven at a high temperature, and then towards the end of roasting, you add either chicken or vegetable stock. This is the key to making melting potatoes. You can do this with Yukon gold potatoes as well. You first toss the potatoes in a mixture of melted butter with fresh sage and thyme.

Moonblush Tomatoes
This recipe is from Nigella Lawson's, Nigella Express cookbook. You simply halve the cherry tomatoes, sprinkle them with dried thyme, a little flaky salt, a pinch of sugar and a drizzle of olive oil. Then you put the sheet pan in a hot oven and turn off the heat immediately, leaving the tomatoes to cook in the residual heat overnight, hence “moonblush”. You can use them in salads, with charcuterie, on pasta or any way you like.

Honey & Harissa Roasted Carrots
Our good friend Chris came for dinner last week and brought these Honey & Harissa Roasted Carrots. They were so good. The recipe is from Rachel Ray Magazine. They are meant to be sitting on top of Greek Yogurt. It also has a sprinkling of dukkah, which is an Egyptian condiment consisting of a mixture of herbs, nuts, and spices. It is typically used as a dip with bread or fresh vegetables. They do sell dukkah already made at Trader Joe's.

Lemonade Salmon
This Lemonade Salmon is fabulous. It's vibrantly flavorful, tangy and easy to prepare. I even used some of the marinade (not the salmon-soaked marinade!) and steamed some broccoli in it. My husband loved it and I will be making this again.

Lemon Roasted Fingerlings and Brussels Sprouts
The key to roasting vegetables together on a sheet pan is to make sure they cook at the same time. These Lemon Roasted Fingerlings and Brussels Sprouts do just that. The vegetables are tossed in a wonderfully, tangy sauce of lemon juice, Dijon mustard, garlic and honey. I love things that take little effort but have big results.
