I love hash browns but hate making them! The mess, the splattering, the constant attention standing at the stove, especially when there are other things cooking makes me skip the whole hash brown thing – until now. If you’re like me, Oven Hash Browns are a game changer!

Sheet Tray Hasselback Smoked Sausage
Sheet Tray Hasselback Smoked Sausage is the kind of quickie, low-effort meal that’s really a “back pocket” recipe. If you’re not familiar with the term back pocket, it’s a recipe that’s easy enough to memorize that you can “pull off” at pretty much a moment’s notice, especially if it can be riffed on with what’s in the fridge and/or freezer or pantry.

Creamy Salmon Piccata
I’m just nuts about my classic Italian leaning Old School Chicken Piccata, so it stands to reason I’d be crazy about this twist, Creamy Salmon Piccata. If you love fresh, lemony, garlicky flavors and you love salmon, I think this will be a winner for you! The touch of cream in the recipe, btw, rounds out those flavors and takes the whole dish next level.

Cheesy Sauerkraut Toast
If this “recipe” for Cheesy Sauerkraut Toast is a surprise to you, I gotta tell ya it was a surprise to me, too! I came across the concept quite by accident on the New York Times website and immediately latched onto it as a way to use up a little sauerkraut leftover from making my Reuben Sandwiches.

Hot Roast Beef Sandwich
I miss my little Iowa hometown still, even though I haven’t lived there for ages, and even though I’m starting to get comfortable with Georgia. And one of the things I miss most (beside friends and family) is some of the classic Midwestern food favorites. And of those favorites, I especially miss the humble Hot Roast Beef Sandwich.
