Braised Lamb Shanks
Lamb shanks braised in red wine with fresh rosemary, garlic, and tomatoes. Excellent served with polenta or roasted garlic mashed potatoes, my family's favorite, to soak up the wonderful sauce. This is a fantastic dish to make for company, as all the prep work is done at the beginning. All you have to do is wait!
Pineapple Sriracha Salsa
This pineapple Sriracha salsa is so refreshing and delicious, bursting with all kinds of flavor, and it will even be better after it is chilled. The most difficult part of this recipe will be deciding what to serve it on - it's equally good on tacos and pulled pork, and—believe it or not—it's superb on ice cream.
Easy Butternut Squash and Pear Soup
This soup is great for a cold fall day. I don't often cook using recipes so all amounts are my best guess but feel free to experiment - this recipe is great no matter what I seem to do with it. One helpful hint with the squash: It is really hard to peel so I do not peel it but instead roast it and then scoop the insides out into the soup. It's much easier that way! Serve topped with blue cheese crumbles and crusty bread on the side.
