Recipes
Bistro Chicken Fettuccine
This is one of my go-to weeknight meals made from pantry ingredients. Every bite makes me think of France.
Barbecue Chicken Sliders
Barbecue chicken sliders are perfect for game-day parties. To get exceptionally flavorful, juicy chicken, brine the meat overnight, then slow cook it until it's fall-apart tender.
Warm Crab & Spinach Dip
In Maryland, we stayed at a hotel that sent guests home with a crab dip recipe and a spice pouch. Now I’ve made my own dip that rekindles memories of that trip.
Slow-Cooker Barbacoa
This slow-cooker barbacoa is simmered in lime juice, chipotle and cumin for a tender, flavorful beef dish. Top it with cilantro and a spritz of lime. Serve it with rice, tortillas or salad greens.
Dad s Creamed Peas & Pearl Onions
While I was growing up, it was our family tradition to make creamed peas with pearl onions for every Thanksgiving and Christmas dinner. My dad was not a happy camper if he didn't see this dish on the table. It was his favorite! I made it for my own family while our kids were growing up, and now my daughter makes this dish for her family.
Scalloped Potatoes with Mushrooms
Potatoes and mushrooms make a one-dish meal I love – it’s the calories you have to watch. Swap out dairy products with lower fat options.
Broccoli Pork Stir Fry with Noodles
I combined several recipes to come up with this dish that my family loves. It is not only quick and delicious but also healthy. I sometimes substitute boneless, skinless chicken breasts for the pork.
Beef Barley Skillet
This versatile dish goes together fast since it's made with quick-cooking barley. You can make it with ground turkey or chicken and any color bell pepper that you have on hand.
Potato and Chorizo Casserole
I love the smoky flavor chorizo gives this dish, but I’ve also made it with Italian sausage and substituted an Italian blend cheese for the Mexican cheese. For a vegetarian option, you can use cream of mushroom soup and fresh mushrooms.
Slow Cooker Chicken Enchilada Stuffed Peppers
Use up leftovers and clean out the fridge by making these super simple and tasty stuffed peppers! This is an ideal weekend meal that you can put together quickly and let cook while you run errands.
Turkey Biscuit Skillet
My mother always made this skillet while we were growing up. Now I make it for my husband and kids. I use the small-size biscuits because the larger ones don't seem to brown up as nicely on the top.
Gnocchi with Chicken Sausage
This creamy and comforting gnocchi with chicken sausage is a flavorful one-skillet dinner you'll crave on repeat.
Pressure Cooker Sauerbraten
One of my all-time favorite German dishes is sauerbraten, but I don't love that it normally takes five to 10 days to make. Using an electric pressure cooker, I think I've captured that same distinctive flavor in less than two hours.
Chicken Cordon Bleu Soup
This is a wonderful addition to potlucks, and it comes together so easily! Cauliflower makes a nice, extra creamy backdrop for the classic flavors of chicken cordon bleu you can eat with a spoon.
Mughlai Chicken
I enjoy cooking for my family and try to incorporate healthy new foods into our menus. This authentic Indian dish is a favorite.
Chicken Cornbread Casserole
Why not use your leftovers to create a delicious chicken cornbread casserole? The crispy topping and creamy center will make for a comforting and nostalgic dinner.
