Creamy Chilli, Bacon and Tomato Spaghetti
Spaghetti, four strips of bacon, a can of diced tomatoes, a bit of cream, spices, and viola, you've got a satisfying meal. This Creamy Chilli, Bacon and Tomato Spaghetti is of course topped off with parmesan cheese. These are all ingredients that I always have on hand. Made this last night when our kids came for a spontaneous dinner. We even made garlic bread out of some leftover hot dog buns! Talk about haute cuisine!

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.

Ham, Potato, and Leek Soup
This Ham, Potato, and Leek Soup has few ingredients and is quick and easy to make. You can replace the cream with stock if you want it dairy free. It's similar to Vichyssoise, though this version is served hot instead of cold.

Roast Beef Sliders
These roast beef sliders are delicious! Slices of roast beef, caramelized onions, and cheese are layered between sweet Hawaiian rolls, which get a savory butter sauce on. Oh, and there is also au jus to dip them in! These are great for parties. Your guests will reach for seconds before they finish their first bite!

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.

Gordon Ramsay’s Turkey Pasta
Gordon Ramsay's 10-minute Turkey Pasta is obviously quick to make, though it took me slightly longer because I used dried pasta instead of fresh. It has leeks, shallots, and sage, which gives it a wonderful aromatic depth of flavor. It's then topped with buttery, sage-infused breadcrumbs.

Lighter Chicken Supreme
The term supreme, also spelled suprême, used in cooking refers to the best part of the food, which is really just a boneless, skinless chicken breast. This recipe uses reduced fat crème fraîche. If you can find it, you can use low-fat sour cream. The sauce is comforting, creamy, satisfying, and quick to make for a busy weeknight.

Stir-Fried Udon With Bacon, Parmesan & Gochujang
If three chefs, one Korean, one Japanese, and one Italian walked into a kitchen (bar)... This Stir-Fried Udon With Bacon, Parmesan & Gochujang is sort of a carbonara using Asian ingredients. I know it sounds a bit odd, but it totally works. The key to making this is to have all your ingredients prepped and ready to go because this dish is very quick to make. You should use frozen Japanese udon, which has a completely different texture than the dried version.
