Italian Breaded Pork Chops

These breaded pork chops are from my father's side of the family which is Sicilian. We've been making these pork chops for at least 3 generations. My husband frequently requests these over my marinated and grilled pork chops when I give him a choice.

Indian Fish Curry

This Indian fish curry is a very spicy dish. The recipe was inspired by a Bengali fish recipe my mother used to make in India.

Grilled Rack of Lamb with Mustard Crust

This is a tender, delicious, and addictive recipe for a grilled rack of lamb with mustard crust. The crust adds savory flavor that is unbeatable. It pairs well with my recipe for roasted potatoes with feta and basil and a glass of red wine.

Chef John's Ham and Cheese Calzones

Today calzones are most commonly stuffed with the exact same toppings that go on a pizza which, besides the crust issue, was one of my main problems with it. I mean, why not just fold a pizza in half, and call it a day? So, I decided to do what I hear is a more traditional filling featuring ricotta, fresh mozzarella, and ham. The result was as enjoyable as it was surprising.

The Best Chicken Fried Steak

This chicken fried steak recipe is one I received from a co-worker about 5 years ago. A Southern favorite, these crispy, breaded, tenderized cube steaks drenched in creamy gravy can be served for breakfast or dinner. It's by far the best chicken fried steak I've ever had. I've made this numerous times for my picky son and my Southern-raised better half, as well as for other family and friends and each time, I get nothing but rave reviews.
