Mediterranean Summer Menu
Here are three absolute bangers for your next grill out. We have herby, grilled chicken, a fresh citrus and fennel salad and a pasta salad that will knock your socks off.
Steak Au Poivre
I am a sucker for a French recipe like this one. This is such a banger, it’s crunchy, tender and covered in a decadent cream sauce. If you have never had Steak Au Poivre, I feel bad for you. Give this one a try so you too can ascend.
Corned Beef and Cabbage
I was so surprised with how much I loved this dish. I used to think it was just boiled meat and veggies but I have realized it is so much more than that. It’s so easy to make and so delicious. Try this for St. Paddy’s day or just because you want to.
Chicken And Dumplings
Chicken and dumplings is a classic comfort food that never fails to hit the spot. I know that some people will argue over what type of dumplings and the contents of the stew but this is what I like. It's the ultimate comfort food that just feels like a big, warm hug in a bowl.
5 Ingredient Mexican: Slow Cooker Al Pastor
This Al Pastor is far from authentic but it is very satisfying and a close second to the traditional dish. It’s great for when you want to just throw the meat in the slow cooker, go to work and hav dinner 90% done when you get home. I use a sauté pan to get color on the pineapple, combine it with the pork and marry the two with the cooking liquid and magic happens.
Basque Cheesecake
My favorite thing I had in Spain was this cheesecake. It is SO creamy and complex in flavor, yet so simple in procedure. Beating this recipe in 2024 will be a challenge for sure.
30 Minute Chili
I found a quick and easy way to make chili in 30 minutes AND make it taste like it had been cooking all day. This recip is so fast and farly easy, its perfect to make on a Monday night and eat for the rest of the week.
Stuffed Mushrooms
These stuffed mushrooms scratch every itch. They’re creamy, crunchy, umami explosions. A perfect 2 (or 1) bite that you can sit in the corner eating while your cousins argue politics.
Caesar Salad Deviled Eggs
I combined 2 classic dishes and made something diabolically delicious. I promise that you will not be able to make enough of these for your next party because nobody will stop eating these
Smoked Salmon Dip
Smokey, cheesy, fish dip with everything bagel crackers sounds like a dream. You can make this dream come true in your own kitchen with very little effort and you will be invited back to next years party as long as you bring this dip.
Shrimp Cocktail
Shrimp cocktail is THE party appetizer. Most people grab it pre-made and arranged from the store, which is fine, but this will have everyone’s jaw. This recipe brings shrimp cocktail from a ten out of ten to a one thousand out of ten.
Cheese Puffs
Cheese Puffs, AKA Gougeres are light, cheesy and down right satisfying. These are a great addition to any party with friends and family and the dough itself is, in my opinion, one of the most versatile doughs you can learn to make.
Pot Roast
A bad pot roast is BAD, but a good pot roast can be better than anything else you’d have for dinner and bring you much comfort and happiness. This pot roast is better than Beef Bourguignon, give it a try!
Coq Au Vin
There is nothing better than French comfort food and this is one of my favorite dishes. Saucy, aromatic braised chicken on a bed of buttered noodles, what more could you want?
Sheet Pan Apple Pie
I have never liked apple pie. To me it has always been too much filling and not enough buttery crust. With this recipe, I solve just that. I have found the perfect ratio of filling to crust with this sheet pan apple pie recipe.
OVEN WINGS
Do you want crispy chicken wings but don’t want to go through the hassle of a deep fryer? Look no further, this is the perfect recipe for you. This recipe has the procedure for oven bakes wings but the results of deep fried crispy chicken wings.

These 3 super easy pan sauces will impress your friends, family and maybe even yourself at your net dinner party. Recipes like this will bring out the little French chef in you. Have fun and enjoy!
Deep Dish Quiche Lorraine
This deep dish quiche lorraine recipe is one of THE best things you can eat for brunch. Flaky crust with a smooth, custardy filling, and pops of smokey bacon and rich, buttery leeks.
“Fancy” Baked Mac & Cheese
This “fancy” baked Mac and cheese has a lot in common with the classic southern style version. It’s a little creamier and uses some less common cheese options, but the result is just as delicious (maybe more if you’re really into cheese).
Classic Southern Style Baked Mac & Cheese
The classic, the legend of the potluck: Southern style Mac & cheese. The right technique and blend of ingredients keep this packed with cheesy flavor, but not greasy.
