Johnny Marzetti Casserole

Johnny Marzetti Casserole

Kids love this Johnny Marzetti casserole. My mother-in-law used to make a simpler version of this for my husband when he was growing up. This version pushes the flavor profile a bit. Sometimes I let the casserole sit overnight before baking, as the flavors improve and the pasta absorbs some of the sauce, so the consistency is just right.

Mexican Chicken Tortilla Lasagna

Mexican Chicken Tortilla Lasagna

Pasta is replaced by corn tortillas in this Mexican-Italian mashup lasagna recipe. Instead of the traditional pasta, tomato sauce, and mozzarella, this version features tortillas, enchilada sauce, zesty diced tomatoes, and queso fresco cheese.

Duck Confit, the Right Way

Duck Confit, the Right Way

Duck confit takes a while to prepare properly but is well worth the effort. This melt-in-your mouth duck treat will become a favorite. I buy whole ducks and then remove legs/wings whole and breasts from the bone. Always keep the skin on duck! You can easily double this recipe if you're having a dinner party. I learned this method from Chef Uriah of the Columbian Cafe of Astoria, Oregon. The breasts become pan roasted Muscovy duck (see my recipe) and the legs/wings become confit. Never roast a Muscovy duck whole: the breast comes out dry, musky, and bitter tasting.

Sex-in-a-Pan

This sex-in-a-pan dessert is an extremely popular recipe in Vancouver, BC. I have no idea where it originated or who named it, but it certainly is sinfully rich and delicious.
