Nothing says cold winter day like Lasagna. I love vegetables and this red vegetable lasagna is always a crowd pleaser. Plus it’s even better the next day as leftovers.
Pesto Ravioli with Chicken
I still think this is Melissa’s favorite meal I make. It’s really quick and easy and taste’s great with or without the chicken.
Heirloom Tomato Bruschetta
The dash of sugar and balsamic vinegar make this bruschetta something really special and removing the seeds prevent the bread from getting mushy.
Coconut-Cashew Basmati Rice
A nice “dress” up for regular Basmati Rice and is delicious with seafood (especially seared scallops)
Coconut Shrimp
Let’s face it who doesn’t like coconut shrimp. This recipe is easy and tasty!
Pumpkin Ravioli with Hazelnut Brown Butter Sauce and Balsamic Drizzle
How Italian can I get, making pumpkin ravioli for our Thanksgiving starter? Warm with the scent of toasted hazelnuts and the perfect combination of pumpkin, rosemary, and sage. Sweet and savory hand-in-hand.
Best-Ever Barbecued Ribs
There are ribs, and then there are ribs: succulent, tender beauties that’ll make you look like the neighborhood pitmaster. These are those ribs, courtesy of the best and only recipe you’ll ever need.
The Yummiest Pulled Pork
Pork simmered in root beer makes all the difference. Topped with your favorite BBQ sauce, it’s sure to bring rave reviews
Apple Cranberry Crisp
A crunchy pecan topping plays up the fall flavor combination of cranberries and apples. Using a combination of apple varieties delivers an unexpected range of textures and tart-sweet flavors.
Peanut Butter Chocolate Chocoflan
Who doesn’t love pb & chocolate… the end result of this dessert delicious and show-stoppingly gorgeous. The cake is rich and dense, almost like a brownie. The flan is as decadent and satisfying as that aged wine; a perfect complement to the chocolatey cake.
Linguine with Clam Sauce
Linguine with clam sauce should be packed with flavor: nicely garlicky and a little spicy. Most of all it should taste of fresh, delicious clams with the unmistakable tang of the sea. Fresh, in-the-shell clams are the key to getting this true clam flavor, and tiny littlenecks are the tenderest.
Vietnamese Spring Rolls
The classic Vietnamese summer roll is as lovely to look at as it is delicious to eat: plump shrimp, fragrant herbs, and rice noodles bundled in a soft rice paper wrapper. For a twist, try substituting Honey Ginger Chicken or Grilled Sesame Beef for the shrimp. Serve the summer rolls with one or more dipping sauces such as Nuoc Cham or Pineapple Lime Dipping Sauce.
Asian Glazed Braised Short Ribs
We loved the short ribs at Taka in Asbury Park. Melissa and I are on a mission to make some just as good at home!
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.
Blackened Fish
Spicy and delicious this recipe will clear your sinuses. It’s also great with snapper!
Spring Stew
Peas, parsnips and mustard greens make this delicious stew fresh and yummy.
OMG Macaroni and Cheese
This mac and cheese has a grown-up taste that is over the top yummy. It’s so yummy that everyone always asks for the recipe.
Kriss Beef Short Ribs
This is a great recipe if you have a dutch oven and the short ribs are so soft and tender.
Halibut with Mango Salsa
I make a double quantity of the salsa because it’s hard not to “taste” it while you wait for the fish to marinade. The colorful entrée is pretty enough to serve to company.
