Sausage, Kale & White Bean Skillet Casserole
I made this really simple one pot dinner. The original recipe called for chard, but I changed it to kale, since it's such a super food. Don't get me wrong, chard is good too. I will definitely be making it again.

Parmesan Crusted Swordfish with Lemon and Crispy Caper Sauce
My friend Mary Ann had an incredibly elegant dinner party and made this Swordfish. No on has formal dinner parties anymore. So many people put in "high-end" kitchens in their homes and never entertain. Mary Ann made everything seem effortless, but it was due to her advance planning and preparation. You could actually do this with different kinds of fish or chicken.

Chicken Marsala
I had to cater a luncheon for about 35 people. It's an annual thing, so every year I have to come up with something different. I decided to make Chicken Marsala. I served it over buttered noodles. You can also serve with mashed potatoes. It was really easy and very flavorful.

Japanese Beef Curry
Curry was introduced to Japan during the Meiji era (1868–1912) by the British, at a time when India was under their administration. The dish became popular and available for purchase in supermarkets and restaurants in the late 1960s. It has been adapted since its introduction to Japan, and is so widely consumed that it can be called a national dish. Vermont Curry ready made curry roux is one of the most popular brands. Though, it is very good, it contains MSG. So here is a recipe from scratch.

Ham and Split Pea Soup
Every year I make some sort of soup using the ham hock from Christmas dinner. I happened to have a very large bag of split peas, which I like because you don't have to soak them overnight. Serve it with a loaf of crusty bread and a salad. You can just use chopped up ham, if you do not have a ham hock on hand.
