Turkey Devonshire Sandwich
The Turkey Devonshire Sandwich, sometimes simply called a Devonshire, originated in the 1930s in Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania, USA. It is typically served as a hot open faced sandwich on toasted bread with hot turkey, bacon, tomatoes, and a cheese sauce. It was created by Frank Blandi (1907-1999), who first served them at The Stratford Club in Pittsburgh's Shadyside neighborhood.

White Asparagus with Tarragon Cream and Toasted Panko
To grow white asparagus, the shoots are covered with soil as they grow, so that there is no exposure to sunlight, which keeps it white. White asparagus is considered to be slightly milder in flavor and a bit more tender than green asparagus.

Peanut Butter Ramen Noodles
One of the things (which my husband Eric invented) I always made for my kids is something we call peanut butter ramen noodles. By adding peanut butter, it adds some much needed protein. I also like to add some shelled edamame for even more of a protein boost. It's really delicious!

Veal Goulash with Egg Noodles
One of my clients that I personal chef for requested I make this dish. I made this healthy version using non-fat sour cream, no salt, canola oil spray instead of butter and No Yokes Noodles. It got rave reviews. Eric wants me to make this for us soon. I know most people are horrified about using veal, if so, use beef instead.
