Basil Burgers with Sun Dried Tomato Mayonnaise
I often end up with a bumper crop of herbs—and here's one of my favorite basil recipes. These burgers feature great Italian flavor. The gooey, cheesy centers and scrumptious topping are irresistible.
Zippy Turkey Zoodles
Eating healthy doesn't mean sacrificing flavor—and these spiced-up zoodles prove it. If you don't have a spiralizer, simply slice the zucchini julienne-style.
Italian Stuffed Peppers
Cooking the stuffed peppers in a slow cooker is not only convenient, the long cooking process improves the flavor of the filling.
Slow Cooked Enchilada Dinner
This layered southwestern meal just can't be beat. It gets its spicy flavor from green chiles, chili powder and cumin. Using a slow cooker liner inside of the cooker makes it easier to lift and remove the meal so it can be cut into individual wedges.
Spinach Lasagna
Looking for a hearty vegetarian main course? This spinach lasagna recipe features layers of noodles stuffed with tender spinach and a creamy, cheesy filling.
Zippy Spaghetti Sauce
This thick and hearty sauce goes a long way to satisfy my hungry family. They enjoy any leftovers ladled over thick slices of grilled garlic bread. To make sure I have the ingredients on hand, I keep a bag of chopped green pepper in my freezer and minced garlic in my fridge—always!
Short Rib Ragu
This rich, hearty short rib ragu is made in the slow cooker. The tomato-wine sauce is decadent, and the short ribs are so tender you can cut them with a fork.
Ancient Grain Beef Stew
My version of beef stew is comfort food with a healthy twist. I use lentils and red quinoa rather than potatoes. If leftover stew seems too thick, add more beef stock when reheating.
Sausage and Blue Cheese Stuffed Peppers
This family favorite combines some of our most-enjoyed ingredients: sausage, blue cheese and sweet peppers. The ease of preparation and slow-cooker convenience make this a go-to meal for busy weeknights.
Chicken and Shrimp with Lemon Cream Sauce
My kids love this creamy pasta. Whenever I make it, I know that they will happily clean their plates.
Skillet Plum Chicken Tenders
If you love plums, this recipe is for you! I combine the fruit with chicken tenders for a quick, easy and flavorful meal. Serve with brown rice or orzo pasta.
Pressure Cooker Carne Guisada
While living away from Texas for a while, my boyfriend and I grew homesick for the spicy flavors of home. We've made this recipe a few times now, and it goes really well with homemade flour tortillas. We love this pressure cooker carne guisada over rice, too.
Curried Beef Stew
My mother, who was Japanese, made a dish very similar to this. After a lot of experimenting, I came up with a version that is very close to the one she used to make. This beef curry stew recipe is special to me because it brings back memories of her.
Pressure Cooker Chuck Roast
Save this pressure-cooker chuck roast recipe for a night when you need a hands-off comfort food meal ready in under an hour.
Roasted Veggie Strudel
Roasted Brussels sprouts and potatoes go so well with bacon and Brie in my shortcut strudel. I leave potato skins on for extra flavor and texture.
Ranch Pork Roast
This simple pork roast with a mild rub is perfect for new cooks. The leftover meat is tender and flavorful enough to be used in countless recipes.
