Everyone loves a one pan meal, so why should breakfast be the exception? This Southwestern Hatch Chile Sausage Skillet is loaded with crispy potatoes, savory sausage and Hatch green chiles, all tossed with a flavorful Southwestern rub with hints of cumin and cayenne. It’s a great side dish on its own, but to really live up to the name, crack a few eggs right on top toward the end of cooking and turn it into a true one pan breakfast! There’s something about a sausage and potato skillet that just works for breakfast or brunch, especially when you add the smoky heat and incredible flavor of Hatch chiles when they are in season during the summer months!
New York Steak with Crispy Potatoes & Bordelaise is one of those classic steakhouse recipes that, once you master it at home, may have you wondering, “Why go out?” A perfectly cooked New York strip steak paired with crispy roasted potatoes and a rich, velvety homemade Bordelaise sauce feels every bit as special as something you’d order at your favorite steakhouse. I like to make the Bordelaise first because it can hold on the stovetop and be gently reheated just before serving—one less thing to worry about when it’s time to cook the steaks, then you’re already ready to go! Sometimes a great sauce is all it takes to completely elevate a dish, and Bordelaise, with its deep red wine flavor, is definitely that extra touch.
I love this recipe for Asparagus with Pancetta & Balsamic Vinaigrette because it’s one of those easy make-ahead side dishes that can be served warm or at room temperature—ready when you are! Whenever I’m cooking for others, whether it’s a dinner party, holiday or just having extended family over, choosing a few dishes I can make ahead and mentally check off the list is huge. This asparagus side dish is light and fresh, but the crispy pancetta and tangy balsamic vinaigrette add so much flavor and texture that it still feels a little special.
Tomatoes Provençal will always remind me of my dad. After spending years cooking in New Zealand, he always shared his appreciation for fresh, simple ingredients done with great technique. This was one of the recipes he introduced our family to, and it's been on our table ever since. Inspired by the cuisine of Provence in the south of France, Tomatoes Provençal are traditionally made with ripe tomatoes topped with garlic, fresh herbs, breadcrumbs, olive oil, and Parmesan before being roasted until the tops are golden and the tomatoes become sweet and jammy.
This Roasted Brussels Sprouts with Pancetta, Balsamic & Parmesan recipe is an updated version of my original Brussels Sprouts with Bacon recipe, and while I still love the original, this one brings an extra layer of flavor that makes it feel just a little more special. The savory pancetta, tangy balsamic vinegar, and salty Parmesan cheese create the perfect balance in every bite, making this one of my favorite easy roasted Brussels sprouts recipes to serve during the holidays, or all year long.
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.

Potatoes Dauphinoise—often confused with potatoes au gratin, though slightly different—has long been one of my favorite potato dishes to serve during the holidays.

Roasted baby carrots make the perfect side dish, and this recipe is quick and easy enough for a weeknight dinner or special enough for a holiday.
