Chocolate Banana Peanut Butter Protein Shake

Beer Glazed Brats and Sauerkraut

I came up with this recipe for brats and sauerkraut because simply simmering sausages in beer and onions tasted weak. I was looking for a more intense beer flavor with a little bite, and this is it. It's a very satisfying dish if you crave German flavor that's Americanized. We love this dish served on potato rolls with spicy hot German mustard, Swiss cheese, and an ice-cold beer on the side.

Chicken Ricotta Meatballs

These ricotta chicken meatballs are both budget friendly and a lighter alternative to the traditional beef meatball, while still being flavorful and satisfying. The roasted tomato sauce is a delicious accompaniment.

To Die For Blueberry Muffins

This blueberry muffin recipe makes eight extra large and yummy breakfast muffins with a sugary-cinnamon crumb topping. I usually double the recipe and fill the muffin cups just to the top for a wonderful, extra-generously-sized, deli-style muffin. Add extra blueberries if you want!

Chef John's Cassoulet

Cassoulet recipes take a lot of time and ingredients (some are hard to find) and use a lot of pots and pans. So why make cassoulet? That's easy; it's one of the most delicious dishes you'll ever have. Plus, it's great for honing your observational skills, since no two cassoulets are the same.

Lahmahjoon (Armenian Pizza)

These savory pizzas are bathed in a tomato and lamb topping, then cut into wedges to serve. Served hot or cold, these may be an appetizer, or put a little salad in the middle, and fold up like a taco for a quick meal.
