Curried Cauliflower Gratin

I got this recipe years ago from my cousins, Tony and Lisette. This Curried Cauliflower Gratin is simple to make. It's cheesy, has a hint of curry powder, and bakes until it's golden brown and bubbly.

Bacon Cheeseburger Flatbread Pizza

I met my friend Melanie for happy hour last week and she insisted we order a Bacon Cheeseburger Pizza. It's nothing I would have ordered, but we did and it was so good that I recreated it at home for my husband, mainly because it has pickles on it (I had him at pickles!). It's easy and fast to make using a store-bought flatbread. Suspend your disbelief and just try it.

Josephina’s

I used to cater a big party on New Year's Eve every year and someone always brought this hors d'oeuvres called Josephina’s. It was one of the most delicious appetizers I've ever had. People inhaled them, or as they say in England - "Hoovered" them up. You've got to try them!

Baked Potato & Leek Soup with Cheddar & Bacon

This Baked Potato & Leek Soup with Cheddar & Bacon was what I made for dinner last night. This classic potato and leek soup uses milk and sour cream instead of heavy cream, to reduce the fat. The potatoes are first baked and then combined with the sautéed leeks. The mixture was then puréed. The milk, sour cream and cheese were added at the final stage of cooking. The soup is creamy and topped with chopped green onions, bacon and grated cheddar cheese.

Clearman’s Cheese Spread

Whenever my late mother-in-law made spaghetti, she always made Clearman's cheese bread. My family can't have spaghetti without it. They sell it locally only or online. Many of our family members have moved away, so I decided to search for a recipe. My friend Pat made the first batch and they gave it their seal of approval. It's basically a whipped cheese butter made with Cheddar, Romano, dry mustard, celery salt, garlic salt, lemon juice, Tabasco sauce, paprika, butter that you put on sourdough bread and broil.  Oh, and by the way, it costs about a third less to make of what they sell it for.

Tomato Galette

My daughter Grace made this beautiful Tomato Galette. It's a great way to use up some of the end-of-summer tomatoes. A galette is a freeform tart, which can be either sweet or savory. I have never been good at rolling out dough, so I am a big fan.
