This is my go-to thanksgiving cranberry sauce, but honestly, it’s not just for thanksgiving - I use it as a topper to baked brie and as a sandwich spread other times of year, too.
Grandma’s brisket revisited
This brisket always reminds me of my grandparents. It’s an updated recipe that cooks the brisket over four hours in tomatoes wine and broth.

Family Lasagna
This is my family’s spaghetti sauce recipe, turned into a lasagna - this is one of our family’s all time favorite meals. It’s a bit usual for my cooking as I usually shop so heavily from the produce section and this uses lots of canned tomatoes, but it is so unbelievably delicious.
Surf and turf platter
I love this surf and turf platter because it is easy to make but also feels more special than the “average” dinner. It’s one of my favorites for when friends are in town, and for anniversaries.
