Creamy Salmon Piccata

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.

But is there a better way to celebrate the season than an absolutely decadent, divine Homemade Eggnog? Especially if it’s a Rich & Creamy Eggnog – and one that’s safe, at that!

Roasted Mushroom Barley Risotto

Roasted Mushroom Barley Risotto

Roasted Mushroom Barley Risotto is one of those cozy, fall dishes that takes very little effort but has a huge payoff in flavor. And even though this dish and dishes like this are typically called “risotto” it’s made with barley rather than rice. Call me Miss Obvious, lol! 🙂

Simple Roasted Onions

Simple Roasted Onions

I call these Simple Roasted Onions because they’re so easy to make, but the fact is that the taste is anything but simple! They’re rich, caramelized, cooked until they’re just about melty, and absolutely fabulous! It doesn’t hurt to toss in a few garlic cloves like I do (optional) right along with the onions and let them do their thing, too!
