Turkey Cheeseburger Meatloaf

Turkey Cheeseburger Meatloaf

This is my variation of a classic cheeseburger meatloaf using ground turkey and turkey bacon in place of beef and pork. The key is the sauce — yum!

Roasted Pork Bánh Mì (Vietnamese Sandwich)

Roasted Pork Bánh Mì (Vietnamese Sandwich)

Bánh mì sandwiches are delicious. I'll never forget my first real bánh mì. I remember thinking to myself, this isn't just one of the best sandwiches I've ever had to eat, but one of the best things, period. Not only do we get amazing contrasts in flavor and texture, but also the temperature difference between the crisp, warm, meat-filled roll, and cool, crunchy vegetables makes this so much fun to eat.

This leg of lamb is marinated overnight with fresh rosemary, garlic, mustard, honey, and lemon zest. Be prepared for many requests for seconds!

Homemade Italian Sausage

Homemade Italian Sausage

One of my earliest and most vivid food memories was when my uncle Bill would make his famous dried Italian sausage every Christmas Eve. They'd be fried after Midnight Mass and served on bread with roasted red peppers. This fresh version was inspired by those. If you can manage not to eat them right away, letting them dry for a day or two really deepens the flavor, and firms up the texture as well, in true Uncle Billy fashion.

Roman-Style Tripe

Roman-Style Tripe

If beef tripe is prepared following this method, it has a pleasantly mild but distinct flavor. When it comes to great sauces for dipping crusty Italian bread, it doesn't get any better than this.
