Cucumber and Avocado Salad with Lime, Mint, and Feta

This light and easy salad is very refreshing and makes a great hot summer day side.

Nut-Crusted Chicken Cutlets with Lemon and Thyme

How do you get chicken cutlets with a rich, nutty crust? As it turns out, by holding back on the nuts.

Spaghetti with Pecorino Romano and Black Pepper (Cacio e Pepe)

With just three main ingredients (cheese, pepper, and pasta), this Roman dish would be the best quick meal we ever tasted.

Spicy Horseradish Grilled Beef Tenderloin

This recipe delivers texture and flavor—and also introduces the pleasant burn of horseradish.

Dark Chocolate and Pomegranate Bark

This is such a refreshing dessert, the pomegranates pop in your mouth and the are a lovely pair with the bitter chocolate.

Lime Sorbet Margaritas

Using sorbet you get the slushy effect with a lot less mess and effort! Plus they are VERY yummy.

Cantaloupe and Mozzarella with Prosciutto and Basil

Enjoy with crusty bread for a no-cook dinner, or serve as an antipasti platter at a party.

Crostini with Brie Dates and Toasted Walnuts

This nibble builds on the classic pairing of cheese, dried fruit, and nuts. A splash of balsamic vinegar helps bring together all the flavors. The crostini are best served right out of the oven, though they can also hold for an hour or two at room temperature.

Perfect Stovetop Popcorn

Making popcorn from scratch can be tricky. Not only do you want as many kernels as possible to pop, but you also want to keep the kernels from burning at the bottom of the pan. I used to take the easy way out and used (gasp!) microwave popcorn, which by the way, is not that good for you.

Bacon-Bourbon Brownies with Pecans

This recipe came highly recommended by Elika and her daughter. If an eight year old tells you that these brownies are good, what more needs to be said?

Blueberry Brioche Bread Pudding with White Chocolate Chunks

These are really yummy and very quick to make. The blueberries pop in your mouth, and even tough I’m not a huge fan of white chocolate, they are the perfect addition to this bread pudding.

Garlic-Herb Pinwheels

A few bar basics and some kitchen staples are all it takes to put together this crowd-pleasing party spread. Plus the ability to make theses ahead and freeze them for up to a month make them great for weeknight guests.

Pan Seared Filet Mignon

A classic and classy dinner. I always make this with Rosemary’s smothered mushrooms and onions, parmesan-roasted cauliflower and smashed potatoes. You won’t be sorry!

Basil Pesto

My favorite Italian sauce is pesto, I use it for way more than pasta! It’s great on lamb chops, sandwiches and just about anything!

Oysters Rockefeller

Oysters Rockefeller consists of oysters on the half-shell that have been topped with a rich sauce of butter, parsley, and spinach and cheese – then baked.

Steak Tips with Mushroom Onion Gravy

This recipe is a great solution to the sometimes overcooked beef and low quality ingredients like cream of mushroom soup. With the fresh ingredients in this recipe you’ll be wow’d instead of disappointed!
