Chicken Marsala with Mushrooms and Gorgonzola
Chicken Marsala is my favorite food. I recommend serving this version over mini penne, but any pasta shape will do.
Lemon Poppyseed Cookies
I love ice-box cookies because you can make the dough one night and bake them the next. However, these cookies can be baked immediately after step 4. Take a teaspoon of the dough, roll it into a ball and then flatten it with a glass dipped in flour.
Roasted Leg of Lamb with Dried Cherry Mustard and Herb Crust
This is a fantastic recipe to serve company if they are lamb fans. It’s soooo good you’ll wind up eating a ton more than you would expect.

This is the perfect holiday pinwheel icebox cookie. I usually make them one night and then bake them the next day when I get home from work.
Double Chocolate Espresso Cookies
I think they are my favorite cookies that I make. They are to die for! Don’t eat them too late, the espresso will keep you up. This cookie dough is like brownie batter. Drop heaping mounds. The parchment paper is a must or these will stick.
Hazelnut Peach Thumbprint Cookies
Hazelnut and peach is a combination not used often enough in my opinion!
Raspberry Almond Thumbprint Cookies
A fun twist on the traditional Linzer tart, this cookie is easy and yummy.
