Honey Lime Shrimp
The great thing about this Honey Lime Shrimp is that it cooks quickly, requires minimal preparation, and tastes delicious. I served it on rice with some snap peas. The tip is not to overcook shrimp, which turns tough and chewy.

Zucchini Butter Spaghetti
This Zucchini Butter Spaghetti is incredibly delicious. If you are wondering how to use all of your homegrown zucchini, this is it! Grated zucchini is cooked down with butter and garlic and tossed with parmesan cheese and fresh basil. It's so simple, yet bursting with flavor.

Braised Chicken & Peaches
I happened to have had all the ingredients (except for prosciutto, so I used bacon) to make this Braised Chicken & Peaches. I love braising chicken thighs and the fresh summer peaches really work well together. There are also leeks, garlic, capers and fresh tarragon. It's the taste of summer.

Tomato & Goat Cheese Crostata
This Tomato & Goat Cheese Crostata is from Ina Garten's latest cookbook Modern Comfort Food. It's easy to make and very versatile. Truth be told, I didn't have goat cheese or leeks, so I used Gruyère and a shallot. You can use what you like, however, the pastry must be made exactly as written. It's the flakiest crust ever, which is due to the amount of ice-cold butter!

Creamy Lemon Chicken Linguini with Broccoli
My daughter Grace looked through our refrigerator, gathered ingredients and made this Creamy Lemon Chicken Linguini with Broccoli. There is nothing I like more than watching her cook. She used several techniques that I consider advanced and made this dish up on the fly. The results were absolutely superb.

Blistered Shishito Peppers with Soy-Ginger Sauce
Shishito peppers have become a popular appetizer. They are mostly mild, but about one out of ten are spicy, which adds an element of surprise. The person that gets the spicy one will have good luck! The other interesting aspect of this dish is when you add the bonito flakes (dried fish flakes) on top before serving they move and dance from the heat of the peppers.
Lamb Chili
My father has been going through some major health issues and needs to eat more. We were out at a restaurant and he ordered Lamb Chili, which he absolutely loved. I decided to make him a big pot of it and have included two methods - stovetop and Instant Pot. This was definitely a labor of love given that I really hate lamb!

Tokyo Hot Dog
My daughter and her boyfriend took me to this fun brewery in Portsmouth, New Hampshire. They wanted me to try the Tokyo hot dog. All I can say is that I'm hooked and I want to make this when I get home! I love hot dogs. This Tokyo hot dog is a new and different way to serve hot dogs. Put away the boring ketchup, mustard and relish and try this!

White Beans and Sausage with Sage
This recipe for White Beans and Sausage with Sage is adapted from The Silver Spoon, which is a cookbook that was first published in 1950 and revised over time, Italy's bestselling culinary "bible", and has been translated into English. The book has over 2,000 recipes and I consider it the "Joy of Cooking" for Italian cooking.
