Chef John's Irish Stew
Pay attention to the cut of lamb used in this recipe. I used lamb shoulder chops, which are a fantastic value, when you consider flavor, useable meat, and price. They will probably be the cheapest lamb at the store, have more flavor and richness than leg meat, and are cheaper than shanks and loins. It takes a while for the meat to braise and fall off the bone, but it's a wait rewarded with tender, succulent chucks of lamb.

This strawberry frozen yogurt bark is an easy summer treat for a hot day. Vanilla Greek yogurt, sprinkled with sliced strawberries, is frozen, then sliced into chunks; this bark takes only 5 ingredients.
Fantastic Pumpkin Bars
I developed this recipe to liven up the traditional pumpkin bar. My family says it's the best pumpkin bar they've ever had. This bar is dense and moist.
