The ones I’m sharing today are stuffed with a spicy filling of ground beef, rice, corn, and Cajun seasonings. If you can’t track down a Cajun spice blend, Old Bay and a pinch of cayenne works, too! Fast Dinner in the Pressure Cooker! I use my electric pressure cooker (I love my Instant Pot!) to make these stuffed peppers in about 40 minutes from start to finish. Oven versions can take upwards of an hour to prepare (and sometimes use an extra skillet), and slow cooker versions, like the recipe I’m riffing today, can be a little tricky to time correctly....

The towering three-layer cake is an ode to the little and lovable key lime as it includes both the zest and the juice from this citrus fruit. Like Key Lime Pie, this cake finds the right balance between sweet and sour, and tart and creamy. There’s nothing subtle about the citrusy zing in this cake. Not only is it loaded with key lime zest, but the zest is rubbed into the sugar before mixing the cake, to infuse it with flavorful essential oils....

My version is studded with some smoky bacon. Once plated, the rice is drizzled with sesame oil, then garnished with a fried egg, scallions, sesame seeds, and strips of roasted seaweed, making for a pungent and satisfyingly filling dish. This slightly smoky, bacon-studded Korean fried rice is a simple dish to make for either a snack or light meal, especially if you have leftover rice on hand. It’s a mouthful of flavors and textures— bits of crispy rice mixed in with soft rice grains are layered with spicy and slightly sour notes from the kimchi and then even more spice and sweetness from the Korean chili paste....

Lamb Chops I was going to start off today’s recipe by saying that lamb is the national meat of Australia. But then I stopped short, remembering how proud we are of our beef, and the seafood we catch in our pristine oceans, and how far we’ve come to make ethical and sustainably farmed chickens more accessible to everyday Aussies….. So let me try again. We Aussies love our lamb. And we really love a good lamb chop....

Lentil and Roasted Eggplant Salad I feel like this eggplant salad is unleashing my Ottolenghi within. Except (dare I say it!) this calls for a heck of a lot less ingredients, they are all “normal” things and you won’t just make this once and be exhausted, you will make it over and over again. (Also, you’re getting this recipe for free – his cookbooks are rather expensive!!) So what makes this lentil salad so good?...

I want this week’s meals to stand out from the rest, but they should be easy enough to pull off without breaking a sweat.

I think it was the only dish in which whining was even remotely tolerated. “Liver and onions, OH NOOOOO!” was the hue and cry from the assembled kids. Mom and dad never really forced us to eat anything. But, if you didn’t like what was on the table, there was no alternative. And complaining really wasn’t an option; one look from dad was enough to keep any of us quiet....

The meatballs are great with or without the glaze, but since it’s so easy to make the glaze, I usually make it. Whenever I’m short on time, or not sure what to make for dinner, I take a package of vacuum-sealed ground beef out of the fridge - I always have a few since they keep for so long - and make these tasty and easy meatballs. I’m a big fan of baking....

Noodle Salad – Lunch Idea for Work! This noodle salad is the sort of thing I used to take into work for lunch back in my corporate days. I was never a sandwich gal. I mean, let’s face it. Sitting in an air conditioned cubicle in front of a computer all day isn’t exactly stimulating. Most days, lunch was the most exciting part of my day. Hence – skip the sambos....

Does cobbler have a bottom crust? This is actually a hotly debated topic in some crowds, but by definition, no, cobblers do not have a bottom crust. Cobblers have a fruit bottom and are generally topped with a sweet biscuit dough, but can also have a more cake like consistency as well. Some people still swear by having a bottom crust on their cobbler, but it is not a traditional preparation....
