Cheesy Chile Crisp White Beans are a simple, comforting, and flavorful dish that combines the creaminess of white beans with the spicy, textural kick of chili crisp and the richness of melted cheese. If you are looking for something quick, satisfying, and vegetarian-friendly, this is the answer! You can serve it with warm tortillas or tortilla chips for scooping, or or spoon it over rice to soak up all the flavorful sauce.

Burger Bowls with House Sauce and Ranch Fries

My husband usually orders a burger and takes off the top of the bun. He loves this Hamburger Chopped Salad that they serve at Little Pub in Greenwich, CT.

Ragu Bianco (White Bolognese Sauce)

Unlike the classic red Bolognese, Ragu Bianco, or white Bolognese sauce, is a rich and flavorful Italian creation distinguished by the absence of tomatoes. Originating most likely in northern Italy, its three-hour simmer on the stovetop allows the subtle and nuanced flavors of the meat and other ingredients to truly meld and shine.

Shepherd’s Pie with Colcannon

I saw this recipe for Shepherd's Pie with Colcannon from Diane Morrisey. Adding Colcannon on top of shepherd's pie is rather brilliant in my opinion. Colcannon is a traditional Irish dish of creamy mashed potatoes mixed with cabbage, or kale and onions. This version adds leeks as well. It's just really good and takes shepherd's pie to a whole new level. And yes, I know it's usually lamb, but not on my watch! (I do not like lamb! Not sure how I survived living in the UK for years...)
