Fall Harvest Orzo Pasta Salad

This fall harvest orzo pasta salad combines butternut squash, bacon, Brussels sprouts, walnuts, and cranberries with a maple vinaigrette. It has all the flavors of autumn, and serves a crowd.

Chef John's chicken pastina is like a big, warm hug from an Italian grandma, a comfort food that will, quite literally, change your mood. You can make this simple soup with a fortified broth if you have the time, or simply use off-the-shelf chicken broth for the 15-minute version.

Mexican Steak Torta

This Mexican steak torta recipe is for a tasty sandwich stuffed with char-grilled steak, beans, avocado, lettuce, and tomato served on a warm toasted roll.

New England Clam Chowder II

Minced clams with potatoes and onion simmered in a broth of clam juice and half-and-half. A great, hearty soup to start a meal off with, or can even be a meal in itself.

Broccoli Crunch Salad

This broccoli crunch salad is a copycat I created of a bagged salad mix my family enjoys. Broccoli florets, broccoli slaw, cranberries, and bacon are tossed in a quick, creamy, tangy salad dressing.

Baja Grilled Chicken Tacos

I modified this grilled chicken taco recipe for a party of 40, and it was a huge hit. Thighs are a good substitute for chicken breasts, especially with marinating and grilling. They do not dry out quickly and are very forgiving.

Risotto alla Milanese

Typical Italian risotto as the tradition of my city wants it. Directly from Milano I send you this wonderful recipe!

Roasted Greek Lemon Potatoes

These Greek potatoes are surprisingly delicious! They're roasted in a flavorful lemon and herb broth until golden and tender inside.

Easy Slow Cooker Lasagna Soup

This slow cooker lasagna soup has all the flavors you love from lasagna, thrown together in a slow cooker without all the work and cleanup. I like to add 1/2 pound of Italian sausage to this but it is not necessary.

Hot Tamale Pie

While this recipe for tamale pie has very little to do with its south-of-the-border namesake, it's really delicious all the same.

Michigan Olive Burger

The Michigan olive burger is an iconic Michigan sandwich, a beef patty with a cream cheese-pimento olive spread, Swiss cheese, and crunchy iceberg lettuce. So good!
