Beef, Bean, and Beer Chili

Using beer in chili adds incredible flavor to an underrated summer menu item. Bring a big ol' thermos of this to a picnic or other warm-weather cookout, and it will make a great side to those grilled burgers and dogs. Just have some insulated cups around — and maybe some hot sauce — and you'll be in business. But no matter what season it is, I hope you give this beef, bean, and beer chili a try soon.

Sausage Biscuits and Gravy

Often imitated, never duplicated. Just make sure that after you make this sausage biscuits and gravy for breakfast, you have a window of opportunity to go back to bed, because you won't be able to do much after consuming this. A cast-iron skillet is preferred. I prefer the taste that the maple sausage lends to the dish, however you could easily substitute regular or sage sausage in lieu of the maple. Single ladies, sit back and wait for marriage proposals!

Samosas

These stuffed savory pastries are a traditional Indian favorite. Lamb meat and spices are cooked together to create a mouthwatering filling for the easy to make dough. The recipe may seem complex, but it's actually fairly simple. Enjoy!

Suki's Spinach and Feta Pasta

Spinach, tomatoes, and mushrooms mingle with tangy feta cheese in this quick and easy dish for a summer night or anytime.

Cauliflower Cheddar Soup

For this cauliflower Cheddar soup, cauliflower is roasted with onion and garlic, then blended with thickened broth and Greek yogurt. It’s a lovely, creamy, comforting soup.
