This elegant dinner comes together in less than 30 minutes, and is a fabulous dinner to serve for date night at home, or for a dinner party, and even if you're doing dinner solo it's still an awesome meal to enjoy - just adjust the ingredient quantities.

One of my favorite low-calorie dishes that makes me forget about pasta!

A super easy way to cook salmon with Old Bay® seasoning. The mayonnaise keeps the fish very tender.

I'm going to show you one of my favorite methods for barbecuing relatively inexpensive cuts of beef. If you're wondering "how can it be barbecued, and roast beef?" don't worry about it, because we are not barbecuing or roasting-we are actually grilling. By using this technique, we can transform those cheaper cuts of beef into something absolutely gorgeous. Serve on buns with mayonnaise, pickle slices, and a drizzle of barbecue sauce.

This recipe takes the simplicity of fresh peaches and turns them into a scrumptious dessert!

This easy side dish comes out super flavorful and juicy with a hint of sweetness from the balsamic. A perfect complement to a grilled steak, mashed potatoes, and a nice glass of cabernet.

This is THE BEST lemon zucchini bread I've ever baked or tasted. The recipe came from a friend of my mom's. She kept raving about this bread that she had made while she was visiting. After I made it the first time I can understand why. If I don't put this in the freezer right away, it is gone!!! Butter is really good on this bread if you aren't worried about the calories, fat, etc.

Rather than the traditional eggplant Parmesan, I found that using fried green tomatoes gives a better flavor and texture!

An easy blackberry cobbler with a buttery biscuit-like topping.

Rich and creamy! I have found that Parmesan cheese doesn't melt well, and often substitute Gruyere cheese.

Here is a simple but delicious crepe batter which can be made in minutes. It's made from ingredients that everyone has on hand.

If you love good, old fashioned mashed potatoes this is the perfect recipe. Simple and delicious.

This is a no-nonsense recipe for corn on the cob. Perfect for when you run out of stove or grill space. I freeze the corn on the cob in plastic bags, and remove a single ear of frozen corn in the cold winter months to have the sweet taste of summer corn throughout the year!

These brownies always turn out!

This is a very refreshing drink!

My grandmother's recipe for roasted chicken. We are German and she used to do it this way all the time. I never have had a chicken this juicy before; this little trick works and makes the people eating it go silent. It's funny. We nibble on the celery after.

This is a nice rich mac and cheese. Serve with a salad for a great meatless dinner. Hope you enjoy it.

This is an easy salad that is perfect for a warm summer day.

A very quick and easy fix to a tasty side-dish. Fancy, designer mac and cheese often costs forty or fifty dollars to prepare when you have so many exotic and expensive cheeses, but they aren't always the best tasting. This recipe is cheap and tasty.

This is a wonderful-tasting egg salad sandwich that you will definitely devour. It's really good on rye.

Makes great cookies!

This is my own version of the chocolate microwave mug cake. This chocolaty fudgy treat is truly decadent and great for nights when I need a yummy dessert that is ready in less than 10 minutes! Chocolate chips make this recipe even better.

This is a great recipe when you don't want to wait for the dough to rise. You just mix it and allow it to rest for 5 minutes and then it's ready to go!! It yields a soft, chewy crust. For a real treat, I recommend you use bread flour and bake it on a pizza stone, but all-purpose flour works well too. Enjoy!

If you want the yummy taste of a slowly baked potato but aren't patient enough, or don't have the know-how to bake it in an oven, this is for you. Give it 12 minutes and get a mouth-watering, taste bud-tingling treat.

A dear friend gave me this recipe many years ago and I've been making it ever since. It's great for barbecues.

A frosty blender full of strawberry-citrus slush. You will enjoy this with or without the rum!

This is a great recipe to make your own fajita seasoning. No bouillon cubes means this is perfect for vegetarians too! Make up a larger batch and store in an airtight container for future use.

This is a salad that everyone seems to love. I always get lots of compliments on this recipe and it is just a pleasing taste that seems to suit everyone.

Simple appetizer - the balsamic vinegar gives it a little kick. Best if the mixture has 1 or 2 hours to blend flavors before serving.

The best no bake banana pudding you will ever find (or so I've been told by many).

This basic chicken salad is a family favorite. I like to use baked thighs or breasts that have been sprinkled with basil or rosemary.

This easy banana bread recipe is quick to prepare, and everyone always comes back for seconds!

My version of chicken parmesan is a little different than what they do in the restaurants, with less sauce and a crispier crust.

"Char siu" literally means "fork roast" - "char" being "fork" (both noun and verb) and "siu" being "roast" - after the traditional cooking method for the dish: long strips of seasoned boneless pork are skewered with long forks and placed in a covered oven or over a fire. This is best cooked over charcoal, but it's important to cook with indirect heat.

This tangy, creamy dip tastes just like Buffalo chicken wings. It's best served hot with crackers and celery sticks. Everyone loves the results!

I serve this dish over homemade egg noodles. The chicken is so tender you will not need a knife...SOoooooGood!

A simple soy sauce and brown sugar marinade, with hints of lemon and garlic, are the perfect salty-sweet complement to rich salmon fillets. Even my 9 year old loves this recipe!

Authentic Italian-style risotto cooked the slow and painful way, but oh so worth it. Complements grilled meats and chicken dishes very well. Check the rice by biting into it. It should be slightly al dente (or resist slightly to the tooth but not be hard in the center).

This is a family favorite for over 50 years. It makes a sauce on the bottom

There are a few impostors out there that claim to be Long Island Iced Teas. In actuality, there is only one correct way to make a LIIT... and this is it!

Better than the typical poppers.

It is a delicious lasagna using eggplant instead of pasta.

How to make basic whipped cream. For best results make sure whisk and bowl are ice cold.

These oatmeal cookies are very moist with a good flavor. Add a cup of raisins or nuts if you desire.

These delicious banana muffins are easy for kids to make.

This cocktail's origin has nothing to do with Moscow or mules, but after a few sips of this vodka, ginger beer, and lime concoction, no one will care.

No two spaghetti aglio e olio recipes are alike, but this one is pretty true to the classic method. The key is slowly toasting the garlic slices to a perfect golden-brown in the olive oil. If it's too light, you don't get the full flavor and if it's too dark it gets bitter. My advice? Do it perfectly.

This cake is made with three layers: Cake, filling, and topping. There are 4 types of milk in the filling and topping (whole milk, condensed milk, evaporated milk, and heavy cream). This is an excellent cake for milk lovers!

These spring rolls are a refreshing change from the usual fried variety, and have become a family favorite. They are great as a cool summertime appetizer, and are delicious dipped in one or both of the sauces.

The perfect fruit salad for a backyard bbq or any occasion. There are never leftovers! This is one of my favorite fruit salad recipes, as I think the sauce really makes it. This salad is tastier the longer you can let it soak in its juices. I prefer 3 to 4 hours in the refrigerator before I serve it. Enjoy.

Uses ingredients you might have on hand to whip up for fish sticks or fish and chips.

We use this marinade for rib steaks, but can be used for almost any cut of beef.

A quick and simple grilled pork chop that everyone will love featuring a simple and easy glaze.

If you know someone from Buffalo, they know someone who told them the secret ingredients to the Anchor Bar's famous Buffalo chicken wings. I know people from Buffalo. This is my version, as described to me many years ago, over almost as many beers.

Easy to make, but full of flavor! Good hot or cold.

I have used it often. It's easy and uses pantry staples. Always a hit with adults and kids. Serve with basmati rice or quinoa and steamed or roasted vegetables.

This recipe has been handed down from my mother. It is a family favorite and will not be replaced! (Definite husband pleaser!)
