Pasta with Pancetta, Sage, and Mushrooms
I always like trying new pasta recipes. This Pasta with Pancetta, Sage, and Mushrooms has a wine and beef broth reduction, which infuses a lot of flavor into the mushrooms. You could use bacon instead of pancetta, but make sure you drain most of the fat before proceeding.

Hot Brown Turkey Casserole
My Dad grew up in Pittsburgh and one of his favorite things a called The Turkey Devonshire Sandwich, which is a hot open-faced sandwich on toasted bread with hot turkey, bacon, tomatoes, and a cheese sauce. This sandwich was first served at The Stratford Club in Pittsburgh's Shadyside neighborhood in 1930.
I decided to make him (actually, I had my husband make it!) a Hot Brown Turkey Casserole. This also originated as a sandwich called the Hot Brown and was invented in 1926 at the Brown Hotel in Louisville, Kentucky to absorb the bourbon that guests had the night before. The 2 sandwiches are very similar, though I think the chef in Pittsburgh obviously copied it and changed the name!. Anyway, this is the casserole version, which is much easier to make and feeds a hungry or hungover crowd!

Chicken Stroganoff
I had a hankering for beef stroganoff but only had chicken. This Chicken Stroganoff is equally as delicious over a bed of noodles.

Crispy Braised Chicken Thighs With Cabbage and Bacon
This Crispy Braised Chicken Thighs With Cabbage and Bacon is simply divine.
Braising is a technique which highlights the crispy skin and produces the most tender, fall off the bone chicken underneath. The chicken thighs are nestled in a bed of cabbage and bacon. It's all made in one pan for easy cleanup.

Dutch Baby with Sun-Dried Tomatoes, Pancetta & Arugula
I love making Dutch Baby pancakes for lunch or dinner. A Dutch baby pancake, sometimes called a German pancake is a large American popover or British Yorkshire pudding.
I made this Dutch Baby with Sun-Dried Tomatoes, Pancetta & Arugula because they were the ingredients I had on hand. It's very versatile, you can change the type of cheese, you could use bacon instead of pancetta, etc.

Cheesy Brussels Sprout and Bacon Bake
I saw this Cheesy Brussels Sprout and Bacon Bake on Diane Morrisey's Instagram account and she dared anyone to make it and not take a bite right out of the pan. Well, she was right, I did do just that. This is just a great combination all done in one pan. I dare you to make it!

Welsh Rarebit
My husband, Eric, made lunch. Instead of making grilled cheese, he made Welsh Rarebit. A dish from Wales made with old cheese melted on toasted bread. Often called Welsh rabbit because it is thought the people of Wales were too poor to eat meat. The following recipe is from the legendary late Cock n' Bull restaurant on Sunset Boulevard in Hollywood. I miss going there! By the way, The Cock n' Bull invented the Moscow Mule Cocktail. Another great place to have Welsh Rarebit is at Fortnum & Mason in London, though Eric’s is just perfect!

This Chicken Bacon Ranch Casserole with Broccoli is a family-friendly meal. I have to say, it's my new favorite casserole. The combination of chicken, bacon, pasta ranch dressing and cheese is delicious.

Brussels Sprouts and Bacon Flatbread
I made this quick Brussels Sprouts and Bacon Flatbread last night. I used store-bought naan, but you can use any type of flatbread. You can use crumbled goat cheese, blue cheese or feta cheese and it can be made about 20 minutes ahead and then popped in the oven before serving.
