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.

Dutch Baby with Sun-Dried Tomatoes, Pancetta & Arugula
I love making Dutch Baby pancakes for lunch or dinner. A Dutch baby pancake, sometimes called a German pancake is a large American popover or British Yorkshire pudding.
I made this Dutch Baby with Sun-Dried Tomatoes, Pancetta & Arugula because they were the ingredients I had on hand. It's very versatile, you can change the type of cheese, you could use bacon instead of pancetta, etc.

Mexican Fideo (Vermicelli)
I was researching ways to use Fideo pasta (Vermicelli) and ran across this recipe. It was actually called Sopa de Fideo, though there is nothing "soupy" about this. It's more like a tomato mac & cheese. Regardless, this Mexican Fideo (Vermicelli) (I renamed it!) was a huge hit with my husband. It only took 10 minutes to make. If you have kids at home, this is a must-try dish.

Chicken with Artichokes in Creamy Mustard Sauce
This Chicken with Artichokes in Creamy Mustard Sauce is all done in one skillet. It's a simple recipe that gets real depth of flavor by adding broth, white wine, Dijon mustard and a touch of cream. We had leftovers, so the next day I cut up the chicken and served it on spaghetti for lunch!

Creamy Polenta with Sautéed Apples, Mushrooms, & Calvados
This Creamy Polenta with Sautéed Apples, Mushrooms, & Calvados is a warm comforting dish for a chilly night.
Calvados is apple cider that has been distilled into Brandy, which highlights the sautéed apples and mushrooms.
Polenta is made from cornmeal and is gluten-free. However, if you’re making this for someone with Celiac disease, be sure that the polenta you buy is labeled “gluten-free” so that you can be sure there hasn’t been any cross-contamination with wheat.

Creamy Coconut-Lime Salmon
We made this Creamy Coconut Lime Salmon and were blown away. The funny thing is that we did not have any canned coconut milk, but used cream of coconut instead, which I think is meant to be used for drinks. We watered it down and it worked, though next time I will buy some regular coconut milk. The combo of fresh ginger, lime juice, basil, peppers brightens everything up. It's certainly something we will make again.

Spicy Garlic Butter Linguini
My brother David is an amazing cook. They just moved into a house in Connecticut that happens to have a Viking range with a griddle. It's killing me not to be able to see him and cook with him in his fabulous kitchen. Anyway, he has been raving about this Spicy Garlic Butter Linguini recipe, which I am dying to try.

I saw this Cheesy Brussels Sprout and Bacon Bake on Diane Morrisey's Instagram account and she dared anyone to make it and not take a bite right out of the pan. Well, she was right, I did do just that. This is just a great combination all done in one pan. I dare you to make it!

Butternut Squash Soup with Cannellini Beans, Ham and Swiss Chard
I made this Butternut Squash Soup with Cannellini Beans, Ham and Swiss Chard with leftover ingredients I had In my fridge. Here are two ways to make it - on the stovetop or in the Instant Pot. You could also purée a few cups of it to make it a creamy soup. Serve it with some good crusty bread and a salad. I love butternut squash, which has more potassium than a banana. Its benefits are too many to mention!
