Caprese Tomato Salad

This makes a quick light appetizer that's pretty in the summer. Or it can be a side salad or even an Italian side dish to go great with grilled summer foods.

Parmesan-Reggiano in the “Raw”

There's only one ingredient in this recipe. The success is in the quality and the presentation. Cooking rookies and gourmets in a hurry can't beat this one for ease.

Onion-Poblano Saute

This is mild, full of flavor and a huge hit around my house. It would also be wonderful served with a steak or a meaty fish, too.
