2 large white onions, chopped
4 lamb shanks
2 cups dry red wine
1 cup balsamic vinegar

Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C).
Place the onions in a layer in the bottom of a Dutch oven or medium roasting pan with a lid. Arrange the lamb shanks on top of the onions. Pour the wine, balsamic vinegar and olive oil over the lamb. Place a clove of pressed garlic next to each shank, and a quarter of a lemon on each side. Pour the tomatoes over everything, then season with salt, pepper and basil.

Slow Cooker Butter Chicken

It's easy to prep this butter chicken in the slow cooker in the morning to come home to the wonderful aroma of warm Indian spices... I love it and it's one of my favorite Indian dishes! Serve with basmati rice and warm naan bread.

Stracciatella Soup

Stracciatella soup is often referred to as "Italian egg drop soup," which is fine, but knowing the name actually means little, torn rags or shreds works so much better metaphorically. When you've been run ragged, stracciatella is always there for you. As you eat this, hopefully with some nice crusty bread, imagine all those little "rags" floating in the bowl are all your torn-up problems, both real and imagined. They were there, and then they were gone. You just won — with soup.

Bow Ties with Sausage, Tomatoes, and Cream

A delicious creamy sausage pasta dish. A friend gave this recipe to me a few years back, and my family can't seem to get enough of it. It sounds strange with cream in it, but that just enhances the flavor and texture. This is a very easy recipe.
