Cooking Method: Searing

Seared Pork Chops with Shiitake and Enoki Mushrooms

This Seared Pork Chops with Shiitake and Enoki Mushrooms was a way for me to use up extra mushrooms that were leftover from a Shabu Shabu dinner. The original recipe did not have enoki mushrooms, so you can leave those out if you like.

Steak Salad with Shallot Vinaigrette

So last night, I'm home alone eating a frozen chicken pot pie. I've been sick and have to eat soft food. I had absolutely no idea what I'm going to blog about. I then check my Instagram and see that my daughter Zoe made this for dinner! Excuse me Zoe, but that looks delicious! Both my girls are starting to cook at the advanced level. My daughter Grace made a cheese soufflé the night before. Again, I only know this by checking Instagram. I may be able to retire early!

Chicken in Milk

I know that Chicken in Milk sounds terrible, but you must suspend your disbelief and try this easy to make chicken. It’s a dish that originated in Italy, and is made by braising a whole chicken in milk, along with herbs, lemon and spices. The milk helps to tenderize the chicken and infuse it with flavor. The chicken is often served with pasta or rice.

Mediterranean Brisket

This Mediterranean Brisket is so delicious and can be made with very little work. The fat on the brisket should not be cut off before cooking. This fat helps to keep the meat from drying out. You cook the brisket the day before, so that you can cool it and easily remove the fat, as brisket just improves with an overnight rest in the refrigerator.
