Cucumber-Watermelon Salad
This cool, refreshing summer salad is oh so delicious! Sweet and tangy at the same time.
Pressure Cooker Split Pea Soup
This is my favorite split pea soup recipe. I love my pressure cooker and use it for meals that I need to cook for the family in a hurry. This is great for a cold winter's night, and it tastes great for lunch the next day. I serve it with French bread.
Chef John's Shrimp Cocktail
Cooking shrimp cocktail is easier than it may seem. Before I knew much about food or dining out, I knew that if they brought shrimp cocktails to the table as an appetizer, we were eating at a "fancy" restaurant. I'm sure I enjoyed the shrimp, but what I really loved was dipping the crackers in the spicy, horseradish-spiked cocktail sauce.
