Tuscan Fish Stew

I spent a few days in Florence about 30 years ago, and while I don't remember much, I do recall my surprise at how delicious the Tuscan fish stew was. What I found so interesting was how herbs like oregano, sage, and rosemary, which I'd only associated with meat, were also used with seafood. Also, FYI just in case any old-school Tuscans are coming over: I hear that for this to qualify as an official Italian fish stew you need use at least 5 different types of seafood, which is both insane and adorable. Serve with crusty bread.

5-Hour Beef Stew

This beef stew with tapioca recipe is from my grandma Jan. It's so good and comforting. Serve it with some yummy bran muffins.

Grilled Chicken Sandwiches

This grilled chicken sandwich is easy to make with flavorsome marinated chicken, lettuce, tomato, and mayo. Crispy golden fried bread makes it extra special!

Slow Cooker Chicken Gumbo with Shrimp

This crockpot gumbo recipe is as easy as can be and practically makes itself. Just dump the chicken and vegetables in a slow cooker, toss in shrimp a few minutes before serving, and voilà! Dinner is served. When you use a slow cooker liner, there's virtually no cleanup to worry about afterward. Plus, with no roux to make and no pots to scrub, you'll have extra time to sit back and relax with your family.

Roasted Rack of Lamb

A rack of lamb is topped with a herby crust before it's roasted. I have been using this recipe for a long time, and always enjoy making it. You can also do the same thing with beef or pork.
