Salisbury Steak with Onion Gravy
I saw this recipe from Martha Stewart for Salisbury Steak with Onion Gravy, which reminded me of the TV dinners that we ate in the 60's and 70's. You are meant to make it in an oblong shape to look like steak, but I didn't do that. Everyone LOVED it and it freezes beautifully so that you can reheat and eat in front of the TV!
Salisbury steak is a dish made from a blend of ground beef and other ingredients and is usually served with gravy or brown sauce. Salisbury steak was invented by an American physician, Dr. J. H. Salisbury (1823–1905). The dish is traditionally served with mashed potatoes or noodles.

Coquilles Saint Jacques
Our friend Jeanne invited us to dinner last week and she made Ina's Coquilles Saint Jacques. I have never been a fan of scallops, but that all changed! This was spectacularly good. Scallops in a creamy sauce with just a hit of curry are cooked under a crust of bread crumbs and cheese. The beauty of this recipe is that it can be prepared the day before. Coquille is the French word for shell.
