These fritters are inspired by my time in Spain. We would order them all the time out, and the señora I lived with would make them because she knew how much I loved them!

Aside from the traditional eggs Benedict, hollandaise is best accompanied by fresh vegetables, cooked to perfection. This recipe covers two of my favorites, with two different preparations: asparagus and artichokes. Blanching helps quick-cooking vegetables maintain vibrancy and a snappy texture, so it works perfectly for the asparagus. Blanching is also great for broccoli in a broccoli salad or green beans, fennel, peas, and carrots. Meanwhile, artichokes can be a bit more intimidating. They are oddly shaped, very firm, and thorny. After trimming and boiling in well-seasoned water, the leaves slip off to expose the tender underside, making them the perfect vessel to scoop a bit of tasty hollandaise.

Even though pot roasts are a well-known dish in southern culture, I feel there are different variations of the slow-cooked meat dish that span through the country as a whole, and even globally. There’s something really special about a slow-roasted meat that falls off the bone, it really says “made with love,” and it’s an easy dish, especially for family dinners. For me, pot roasts invoke memories of Sunday family dinners. We would rotate houses and have everyone’s unique pot roast. I remember a big dish at the center of the table with a beautiful piece of meat and my mom cutting chunks away. Vegetables and gravy were always my favorite. I would reach out and soak a roll in the delicious gravy!

Do you like happiness? If you don’t, then this recipe isn’t for you. But if you do, then let’s make my macaroni and cheese together. This is the dish that put me on the map. It’s the one everyone talks about and the one that every person who comes over for dinner begs me to make. And the beauty is, it’s so simple. You’ll have friends begging you for this recipe.

Pasta carbonara is something I make all the time at home. And tossing in kelp and lobster took it to a whole new level. You can leave those ingredients out or substitute them for something else to get creative. But the briny and buttery flavor that the kelp and lobster bring to this dish is divine.
