Big Germans
An oven pancake that puffs up and falls. It is served with a squeeze of lemon juice and powdered sugar. We also enjoy filling the indent with fresh strawberries and whipped cream. Serves 2 to 4.
Tuscan Flank Steak
I've only been to Tuscany once, but I do remember a grilled steak coming off a charcoal fire, which was then sliced and splashed with olive oil, lemon, and rosemary. While I'm sure my version is far from traditional, it's really tasty and the very user-friendly flank steak is the perfect cut.
Creamy Potato Lasagna
For a new twist on lasagna, try this delicious potato lasagna. I use ham, but you could also use smoked turkey. I serve this with a salad.
