Greek Broccoli Gratin

This Greek Broccoli Gratin is a lighter take on a traditional cheesy broccoli casserole. It uses tangy feta cheese and a mixture of mayonnaise and yogurt in place of a traditional cheese sauce saves tons of time, making this a quick and easy side dish to pair with chicken or fish. Or, serve as a vegetarian main with a salad.

This Goat Cheese and Dill Quiche in a Hash Brown Crust is without a doubt the best quiche I have ever made. The creamy, silky filled with an abundance of dill meets a crispy hash brown crust! Hello! What's wrong with this? NOTHING! Everyone loved it. My husband is out of town is not pleased that I made it without him. His birthday is next week so I will do it again.

Rosemary Cashews

Here is a savory cocktail nibble that would satisfy a French host's needs. These Rosemary Cashews were inspired by the bar nuts served at Union Square Cafe in New York City, which is one of Ina Garten's favorite restaurants in the world. The cashews are best served warm, but you can prepare the rosemary mixture in advance.

Braised Red Potatoes with Dijon and Tarragon

This Braised Red Potatoes with Dijon and Tarragon recipe is a simple, one-pot potato side dish that features the benefits of both boiling and roasting. The halved small red potatoes, butter, and salted water are simmered in a skillet until the potatoes turned creamy and the water fully evaporated. In the then-dry skillet, the potatoes and butter were left alone to fry and develop great flavor and color. Subtle aromatics like thyme and garlic balance well with last-minute additions like Dijon mustard.

Spinach Madeleine

This Spinach Madeleine is incredible. A certain person at my dinner table who doesn't like spinach said, "Never in my life did I think spinach could be that delicious!" It's a good way to introduce spinach to your family.

This recipe is rather famous in Louisiana. It's from the Junior League of Baton River Road Cookbook. The original recipe calls for a roll of 6 ounces of Jalapeño cheese. Kraft Foods no longer makes it, so you can substitute 4 ounces of Velveeta cheese, cubed, and 2 teaspoons of minced jalapenos. I actually used Tillamook Pepperjack.
