Red Flannel Hash is a tasty mixture of beef, potatoes and beets. It's a New England specialty and takes its name and color from the beets. This is a great recipe for leftover meat and potatoes. Simply add them to a skillet with diced canned beets and the sauce ingredients from this recipe.
Cozy and inviting shrimp pot pie is a perfect way to your Valentine's heart. This one-dish meal takes only 25 minutes to make. If you like, open a bag of washed, ready-to-eat salad to go with it.
Soups are great family fare, but most take too long to cook for a mid-week meal. Adding shrimp and rice to hearty black bean soup makes a welcoming meal in a bowl that takes only 20 minutes to make.
Ring in the New Year with an easy, elegant meal of veal scallops with wild mushrooms and nutmeg-spiked cre`me fraiche. I use dried mushrooms, which take only minutes to reconstitute in hot water. Cre`me fraiche, a slightly soured cream, can be found in many supermarkets. Heavy cream also works well in the recipe.
Freshly made ratatouille and crispy, sautéed chicken cutlets make a quick meal for this busy time of year.
Fish cooked in cider and served over saffron rice is a typical dish from the Asturias region of northern Spain, an area famous for its hard cider. Hard cider is available at this time of year in many supermarkets. If you can't find it, use beer or sweet (unfermented) cider.
On a trip to Mexico City, I watched restaurateur Maricarmen Ramirez make melt-in-your mouth sopes -- little corn tortillas filled with a spicy black bean spread, roasted chicken, lettuce and cheese.
Succulent, pink shrimp are a trademark of the Florida Keys. I like to serve them as they do in Key West, leaving the shrimp in their shells and spreading newspaper on the table. Place the cooked shrimp in a bowl and just peel and eat.
