This Loaded Mashed Potato Bake delivers all the indulgent flavors of a classic twice-baked potato in a warm, scoopable dish that’s perfect for sharing. It’s one of my go-to sides for potluck-style dinners, holidays, or casual gatherings because it feels comforting and familiar, yet a little elevated.

Braised Short Ribs have long been one of my most requested dishes as a private chef, and for good reason—they’re the perfect balance of comfort food and elegance. This recipe was actually one of the first I ever shared on my website, and over time I’ve adjusted it by adding new flavors, refining the method, and creating what I now consider my signature version: Red Wine Braised Wagyu Short Ribs.
