This is a great one-pot/pan dish that is quick and easy to make. It is perfect for a weeknight when you don’t have a lot of time. The recipe calls for All Purpose Chicken Seasoning but I use either Guga’s Rub or Clucker Dust. The original recipe can be found here:...

Instant Pot Mushroom Risotto
I learned how to make good risotto the “Old Fashioned” way. It took some practice and experience but I was able to produce good risotto on a consistent basis. The problem is that it takes a lot of time, focus, and effort to do it properly. It makes it difficult to try...
Instant Pot Sunday Sauce (Meat Sauce)

Meat Stuffing for Thanksgiving
A Thanksgiving tradition at our house when I was growing up. As a kid I thought everyone had meat stuffing at Thanksgiving!
Sheet Pan Italian Sausages with Mustard Vinaigrette
We found this one in a magazine and gave it a try. We've made some modifications to it but this one has become a tasty favorite. If you clean and prep all of the vegetables in advance (the only time-consuming part) it can be ready in 30 minutes with a preheated oven.
Tarragon Sauce
This recipe is a topping sauce for the Italian Baked Chicken Cutlet recipe. It is an easy way to make Chicken Tarragon.
No-Cook Tomato Sauce
This recipe is a topping for the Italian Baked Chicken Cutlet recipe. It is a great option for the summer months!
Meatballs
This is our recipe for meatballs. We always made them when making Pasta Sauce.
Pasta Sauce
Pasta, with Meatballs and Italian sausage, was a Sunday afternoon staple for us when I was growing up. We kept that tradition going for our kids when they were growing up.
Basic Ricotta Gnocchi
Our entire family loved Gnocci with Bolognese sauce. It isn't the easiest dish to make but well worth the effort.

The picture shown is an example from the Internet. I will upload our own when I make this.
Zucchini Bread
This was always a family favorite.
Tiramisu
This was one of the recipes given to us by our family in Australia when they were visiting us in the United States.
