Cooking Method: Sautéing
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.

Beef-A-Roni
This is my brother David's Beef-A-Roni. It's family-friendly, budget-friendly, crowd-pleasing, (trying to think of more hyphenated descriptions!) and easy to make on a stovetop. I wish I could have been there to eat it with my brother and his family and my mom. I am desperate to get into his kitchen on the east coast and cook together.

This sautéed Cabbage with Bacon, Onions, and Mushrooms is so simple to make are is the perfect accompaniment to sausages.

Salisbury Steak with Mushrooms and Madeira
I made this Salisbury Steak with Mushrooms and Madeira for a client. The term "Salisbury steak" has been in use in the United States since 1897. The dish is named after an American physician, James H. Salisbury (1823–1905). The dish is typically served with gravy and mashed potatoes or pasta. Salisbury believed that diet was the main factor governing your health, so he created a special diet for his patients suffering from anemia, colitis, gout, rheumatism, arteriosclerosis, tuberculosis, and asthma. It was one of the earliest American "fad" diets. Who knew?!

Pasta with Asparagus in Lemon and Wine
Yesterday, my daughter Grace invited me to lunch in her backyard. She made this absolutely delicious Pasta with Asparagus in Lemon and Wine, which she topped with garlic panko breadcrumbs. I am so proud of both my daughter's cooking abilities. I just wish we could have transported my other daughter Zoe from New Hampshire! I miss her so much, it's killing me! Grace's pasta tasted like a bit of "light at the end of the tunnel".

Artichoke Heart Carbonara
Our whole family is obsessed with carbonara. When there is nothing to eat, this is our go-to meal. It's simple, fast and so good. This Artichoke Heart Carbonara is a vegetarian version (no bacon here!). Oh, and did I mention, we LOVE artichokes?! Fortunately, I always have cans of artichokes in my pantry.
