Spinach-Artichoke Galette with Burrata and Caramelized Onions
This Spinach-Artichoke Galette with Burrata and Caramelized Onions was what happened last night. I doubled the amount of burrata, because why not? There is nothing better than a rustic galette. It's the second one this week, though this is a savory version. Your vegetarian friends will love you.

Weeknight Beans on Toast
My daughter Grace made me this Weeknight Beans on Toast for Mother's Day dinner. It was so delicious and simple. This recipe will make more ragù than you need, but the leftovers can be repurposed as a quick topper for pasta on another night. Nothing beats the convenience of a bag of spinach, but any green will work here. Try mustard greens, kale, or collard greens.

Shrimp Florentine
I was making dinner the other night for just the two of us and was planning on making Chicken Florentine. I couldn't just buy 1 chicken breast so I decided to make Shrimp Florentine instead. I served it on a bed of noodles, but you could serve it on its own or with rice.

French Onion Chicken Meatballs
These French Onion Chicken Meatballs take French Onion Soup in a different direction. Let's just say it's the right direction. It turns your favorite soup into a full meal. We actually have leftovers, so I am planning to make a meatball sub on a baguette for tomorrow.

Roasted Tomato Basil Soup
This Roasted Tomato Basil Soup is from Ina Garten. Roasting tomatoes brings out the sweetness in tomatoes. The result makes them tender and intensely flavorful. This soup is great for the freezer.

Bon Appétit’s Best Risotto
My daughter's boyfriend Pierce is not often seen in the kitchen cooking, but he made this amazing risotto. Risotto is not an easy thing to pull off, but he did it! Risotto is like a clingy baby. You can’t put it down, you can’t walk away from it, and you can’t ignore it. Its needs are simple, it just wants all of you. And if you give it all of your patient attention, it will turn into a puddle of love. This simple, pure, unadulterated version stands up on its own, but it also makes an excellent canvas for seasonal ingredients. The recipe includes toppings for all four seasons.

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.
