Chicken Cordon Bleu Casserole

A cordon bleu is a dish of meat, usually chicken that is wrapped around cheese (or with cheese filling), then breaded and deep-fried. This Chicken Cordon Bleu Casserole is an easier version, that has bite-size pieces of chicken, ham, in a cheesy cream sauce and top with buttery panko breadcrumbs. You can make all in a pressure cooker / Instant Pot or on the stovetop. I have included both methods.

Spaghetti and Beetballs with Kale and Lemon Butter

I ran into my friend Meghan the other day and she said she made this Spaghetti and Beetballs with Kale and Lemon Butter for her daughter, who is vegan. Beets are one of my very favorite things to eat, especially if they are pickled, and even for breakfast. Admittedly, this recipe is in the completely bizarre category, but I have to say it was delicious (even my husband liked it). The recipe calls for vegan butter and parmesan and gluten-free pasta. I did not use vegan anything, but if you happen to be vegan you will love everything about this. Suspend your disbelief and give it a try.

Spaghetti with Tomatoes and Basil

This recipe for Spaghetti with Tomatoes and Basil is loosely based on a recipe in The Silver Palate Cookbook. It's a great method using fresh, ripe, summer tomatoes.
Summer cooking implies a sense of immediacy, a capacity to capture the essence of the fleeting moment. Elizabeth David
