Quick and delicious weeknight meals
My daughter discovered butterscotch chips when we made this applesauce oatmeal bread a couple of months ago. The opened bag has dwindled as she grabs a few for dessert. I had some rapidly ripening bananas on the counter and decided to use up the bananas …
I was getting overwhelmed by my backlog of posts so I decided to do one roundup of recent dishes I’ve made that are worth sharing. Happy Spring! Braised Chicken with Salami & Oliveshttps://cooking.nytimes.com/recipes/1016251-braised-chicken-with-salami-and-olives?For a rainy, cool spring night, this take on chicken cacciatore in incredibly …
I had never made lamb meatballs before so wasn’t sure what to expect. But I’ve also never met a meatball I didn’t love and these did not disappoint! The cinnamon and cumin provide wonderful warmth to both the meatballs and the tomato sauce. The red …
