Cooking Method: Sautéing
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.

Spicy Sausage Ragout
When we lived in London, I used to love food shopping at Sainsbury’s. They had these wonderfully simple adverts on the telly (sorry, I had to do that), showing you how to make a quick and easy meal. It always started out by saying “Simply take….” Anyway they would have these cards in market. I would collect them and make all the recipes. Here is one I found in my collection. I love how the recipe is called Spicy when there is nothing spicy in it!

Chicken Stroganoff
I had a hankering for beef stroganoff but only had chicken. This Chicken Stroganoff is equally as delicious over a bed of noodles.

Orange Ginger Rice
Living in Southern California, we are lucky to have a plethora of citrus trees. I am always trying to figure out how to use the oranges on our tree. This Orange Ginger Rice is so good. It's cooked with shallots, orange juice & zest, ginger, golden raisins and has loads of flavor.

Ravioli Casserole
This Ravioli Casserole is my "lazy" lasagna. It's a combination of ground beef, cheese, pasta sauce and cheese ravioli. I have also made Spinach Artichoke Ravioli Casserole, which is also quick and easy to make. This is perfect for a family weeknight meal.

Welsh Onion Cake
Yesterday was my husband's birthday. I made him this Welsh Onion Cake, which has layers of softened onions, leeks and potatoes with some Caerphilly cheese crumbled throughout. Caerphilly is a hard, crumbly white cheese that originated in the area around the town of Caerphilly, Wales. If you can't find it, you can use a sharp cheddar instead. Welsh Onion Cake is a traditional dish to serve on St. David's Day, the patron saint of Wales, which is March 1st.

Salmon with Cabbage and Olive Vinaigrette
This Salmon with Cabbage and Olive Vinaigrette is simple to make. The salmon is roasted in the oven, served over sautéed cabbage, and top with this chunky vinaigrette. The vinaigrette uses sweet golden raisins, which works well with the saltiness of the olives.
