This chilaquiles breakfast casserole is made with layered tortilla chips, baked in a spiced chile sauce and cheese. Topped with fried or poached eggs, and plenty of delicious fixings, it's very satisfying. Traditional chilaquiles are made in a skillet, but this casserole version is a great way to serve a large group at breakfast or a brunch.

I had this crostini with mozzarella and tomato in an Italian restaurant close to home. This recipe is my version. Make extra because these little treats disappear rather quickly.
Grilled Peppercorn Steak and Caramelized Pecan Salad with Cabernet-Cherry Vinaigrette
This is a summer favorite that I served in many restaurants, inspired by my 'oops, the Cabernet wine has turned again in the heat,' moments. This is usually the meal, but it may also be an appetizer salad as well. I offered it as both in my restaurants. The dressing and pecans keep for a few weeks unrefrigerated, and I often make these in bulk in advance for several meals. A simple dish, easily made by any level cook, it is a stylish, beautiful, and delectable entree salad fit for company.
