One pot shrimp with garlic butter and orzo
So delicious! The butter cream sauce for the orzo is just amazing!! I would also like to try chicken or salmon with it. Definitely a keeper!
– Charoline

Frozen Peach Bellini
So easy and delicious! I used the frozen peaches I put away last year. An ideal drink for a hot day and for lunch.
– Barbara

Risotto with mushrooms
I made this mushroom risotto today and it was really, really good! I went to the store to get parmesan cheese for him, but they were all out. So, I went with pecorino instead…and it took the risotto to a whole other level. It was insanely delicious!
– Denise

Pancakes with blueberries and cream
I made them this morning. You’re right, damn delicious! Thanks for the sour cream tip. A whole new level of pancakes.
– Tina

Chicken with dried tomatoes and gnocchi
This was delicious and not hard to make! I made some garlic bread to go with it and paired it with a perfect white wine. I will definitely do this again!
– Susie

Homemade gnocchi
I’ve tested several different recipes for homemade gnocchi and this one is the absolute best! I always worry a little and think the potatoes are too dry, but the gnocchi turns out perfect every time!
– Brittany

Creamy pasta with mushrooms
This mushroom pasta is to die for!!!! We used umami, shiitake and baby bella mushrooms and pappardelle pasta. My kids were just as obsessed with it as I was. We would 100% do this again.
– Sarah

Baked French Toast with Blueberries and Lemon
I’ve made this a few times and it’s always a huge hit – everyone loves it! I double the blueberries and serve bourbon maple syrup and something savory (bacon or sausage on the side or quiche if I have a bigger crowd). Someone always asks for the recipe!!!
-Teresa

Steak and potatoes with 5 minutes Chimichurri sauce
I followed the recipe to the letter and it turned out perfectly! The potatoes were nice and crispy and I cooked the steak to medium rare. An easy to make chimichurri sauce that’s also delicious!
– A mushroom

One Pot Lemon Chicken and Orzo
So, so good! I followed the recipe exactly as is. The chicken was tender and the orzo was creamy and delicious.
-Miranda

Homemade pasta
I love this recipe! Make a double batch. I use mixed AP flour and 00 flour. It’s great to have these fettuccine in the freezer. Rich and silky texture. I’m a trained chef and I approve.
– Flight
12
Salmon with garlic cream sauce
Oh my…how delicious is that?! I used my cast iron skillet for both the salmon and the sauce. The salmon was beautiful – crispy on the outside and so moist on the inside. I doubled the recipe for the sauce and served it with Greek lemon rice. Restaurant worthy!
– Melanie

Easy no-knead bread
I am so impressed with myself after making this bread. It’s so simple and delicious. As long as you plan ahead, it takes no time at all. I just make the dough before bed and bake in the morning. Thank you for this great recipe that I will treasure forever!
– Natalie

Shrimp with garlic butter
Simple ingredients. Easy navigation to recipes. Soooooooo delicious that I licked the plate clean. Add some broccoli to the shrimp sauce and serve over pasta. I’m definitely keeping this recipe on top.
– Lemon balm

Spinach and parmesan orzo
I just made this for my family, paired with your Lemon Butter Roasted Tilapia recipe. We absolutely LOVE orzo! Fantastic recipe and quick to make.

Creamy chicken and gnocchi
I have made this dish three times now. So delicious! Everyone in my family loved it, especially on cold nights. I make a double batch, by the way, so there are leftovers.
– Penny

Chicken salad with honey and mustard
THE PERFECT summer dinner! The only change I made is that I added some fresh mint to the romaine. Everything was exactly the same and it was excellent.
– Erin

Swedish meatballs
This is one of my family’s favorites! I have made this recipe for many family gatherings. It is so delicious and easy to make.

Summer cheese board
I totally love the idea of cheese and fruit … and NO veggies. It’s so festive and decadent! I made this today for some friends and served it alongside champagne cocktails. He was a winner.

Italian chopped salad
This has become our favorite dish! We call it “this salad.” We often eat it with homemade focaccia bread and air-fried chicken wings. It doesn’t get much better than that.
-LL
22
Chicken and potatoes with garlic parmesan cream sauce
I rate for 6 different people and we all have 5 stars! It was really tasty and I will definitely make it again! I love that you basically use 1 pan so it’s not a messy cleanup! So much flavor and so spicy!
– Melissa

Spaghetti Carbonara
Delicious as hell, easy as hell to make and before you know it my boys cleaned the damn pot…thanks for this recipe – it’s officially a family favorite.
– Daniel

Ravioli with sage sauce
I especially love this recipe for a Friday night dinner. We are too exhausted to go out after the work week and this is absolutely perfect for a tasty and quick dinner paired with a salad and a nice white wine!
– Christine
25
Creamy sausage and gnocchi
One of my favorite recipes of all time! And as a bonus, one of the few 30-minute recipes that actually only takes 30 minutes. Highly recommend using spicy turkey sausage, the gnocchi absorbed so much flavor and there was no fat to drain! Thank you for our new dinner staple! My 2 year old ate this too, spices and all!!!
-Bubbles

One pot chicken and mushroom orzo
My husband and I both enjoyed this recipe! Don’t overthink it; there are many ways to adjust it and still make it taste perfect. We especially liked the addition of orzo, but I’m sure you can’t go wrong with any other ingredients you have on hand.
– Sarah
