Quick and delicious weeknight meals
Here is a delicious alternative to mashed potatoes. The puree is silky and flavorful and is a perfect accompaniment to stews and braised meats. It also warms up well the next day. Recently I’ve served as a side dish with: Crispy Parmesan Roast Chicken with …
Here’s a quick cacciatore with chicken and sausages. It was delicious and perfect for a cold, snowy night. Despite the two pints of grape tomatoes, the tomato flavor was not dominant. Some reviewers of the recipe mentioned adding tomato paste. If you want more tomato …
