No More Straying
Dorie Greenspan's chocolate chipsters, which baked up much thinner, crunchier, and flat-out butterier than we like.
Making the Most of Meatballs
Leftover Greek lamb meatballs cross over to the Italian realm with spaghetti, and a fabulous half-braised/half-fried potato recipe.
Mom’s Chili
My mom's recipe for chili may not blow your head off with heat, but it has a good balance of flavors.
A Pair of Pastas
A pantry-scraping pasta recipe using sausage, spinach and tomato; plus, the easiest pasta dish ever, no recipe required.
Gigot d’Agneau à la Cuillére
Seven hours seems like a long time to cook anything, but this braised leg of lamb comes out fantastically spoon-tender. Any leftover lamb and braising liquid can be transformed into risotto.
Costco-sized Salmon Remnants
Crunchy croquettes are a great way to use up leftover cooked salmon; I served mine with a fantastic roasted red pepper aioli for dipping.
Costco-sized Salmon
Salmon roasted under a simplified variation of the classic pesto Genovese; it uses baby spinach for bulk and omits the pine nuts and Parmesan.
Icy Olive Oil and Upside Down Apricots
An apricot-almond upside down cake with olive oil ice cream, both of which I found attractive but remarkably unpalatable. Good thing my husband enjoyed them!
Chocolate Coma
Creamy chocolate ice cream shot through with my own concoction: brownie batter developed to stay gooey while frozen. This may actually top chocolate chip cookie dough ice cream on my list!
