Spinach and Gorgonzola-Stuffed Potatoes
These Spinach and Gorgonzola-Stuffed Potatoes is a recipe from Yotam Ottolenghi's new cookbook, Simple, A Cookbook which came out last week. There are so many recipes in this book that I need to make soon. This was dinner for 2. What could be better than a twice baked potato, especially when it has spinach, gorgonzola and walnuts?!

Brussels Sprout and Gruyère Gratin
This Brussels Sprout and Gruyère Gratin makes an incredible side dish for your holiday table. I actually cut the recipe in half just to test it, but do not cut the cheese sauce in half! That is the chef's prerogative!

Grilled Turkey, Brie, and Apple Butter Sandwich with Arugula
I'm not a fan of turkey and I hate boring sandwiches! This Grilled Turkey, Brie, and Apple Butter Sandwich with Arugula is anything but boring. The combination of creamy, melted brie, sliced turkey, apple butter and peppery arugula is heavenly.

Pasta with Potatoes, Shallots, Sage, and Gorgonzola
This Pasta with Potatoes, Shallots, Sage, and Gorgonzola reminds me of a dish from the Northen Italian region of Liguria. The classic is a dish I made a while ago called Croxetti with Potatoes, Green Beans & Pesto. It seems counter-intuitive to add potatoes to a pasta dish - starch on starch, but it does work.

French Onion Gnocchi Casserole
I came across this French Onion Gnocchi Casserole and was intrigued. It was really delicious, though it would have helped if it were really cold outside (not a remote possibility in Los Angeles at the moment!) and you were REALLY hungry. It's not exactly a "light" meal, but if you're looking for comfort food, this is it!

Butternut Squash Risotto with Gorgonzola and Walnuts
In anticipation of autumn, which doesn't actually exist in Los Angeles, I had a hankering for some risotto. I will give you the recipe two ways - stovetop and Instant Pot. The Instant Pot makes perfect risotto every time in 6 minutes! This Butternut Squash Risotto with Gorgonzola and Walnuts is an outstanding combination of flavors.
The gorgonzola adds a sweet, tangy flavor and the walnuts add an earthy, crunch to this delicious autumnal dish. I would probably serve the gorgonzola and walnuts passed around the table.

Costco Chicken Bakes
One of Costco's most famous menu items is the Costco Chicken Bake, the object of a cult following. It's cheesy bread roll encasing a gooey mix of chicken, bacon and Caesar dressing. Somehow, it just works.
