I don't know why I never made Shepherd's pie before, and usually I try a recipe a few times before committing it to writing, but this turned out so good in just one try that I have to document it, if only so I can make it again for myself.
If you are stuck in on a snow day and want something hearty and comforting, this is a rich and flavorful dish that is sure to do the trick. Best served over mashed potatoes, it takes a good amount of time to make so start early. The good news is that most of the time is inactive, so once you put it in the oven you can sit back and relax.
Ricotta gnocchi is fast, easy, and delicious. It's also lighter and more flavorful than potato gnocchi. This recipe makes a perfect weeknight dinner for two.
Pork Tenderloin is one of my favorite meats to cook. In part because it is so, so easy to make. The key to great pork tenderloin, and lots of other foods cooked on the stove top, is a cold pan. That's right, you do not need to heat up a pan before you put food in it!
One of my favorite Mardi Gras traditions is gumbo. This thick stew made with chicken, shrimp, and sausage is the perfect way to celebrate.
