Easy Korean Ground Beef

Ready in just 20 minutes, it’s a truly easy recipe that makes a delicious and complete meal. I really like ground beef. It’s cheap, readily available, very versatile, and when you buy the vacuum-sealed packages, it lasts for quite a while too. It also freezes easily and thaws well.

Roasted Cherry Tomatoes

Ready in just 30 minutes, this flavorful dish is an interesting variation on eating them raw. Leftovers are great too! I don’t know about you, but I think tomatoes are wonderful whether raw or cooked. I adore them raw in a tomato salad or in this amazing Caprese salad, but I also love them cooked.

Asian Meatballs With Ground Beef

I make them with ground beef, but the same recipe works beautifully with ground pork as well. These meatballs are the best! They combine the fun of eating meatballs with the extra fun of a sweet, sticky sauce. My kids adore them and love helping me make them. But just as importantly, the grownups love them too! The meatballs themselves are very well seasoned - their flavor is quite complex and the Asian-style glaze greatly enhances them....

Juicy Broiled Hamburgers

I like to top these burgers with sauteed onions and smoked gouda, but you can use your own favorite toppings. The secret to these super delicious burgers? They have a wonderful smoky flavor thanks to a generous sprinkling of smoked paprika and a topping of melted smoked gouda. The combination of the well-seasoned beef and the melted cheese is phenomenal. I like to use the broiler to cook hamburgers because it’s so easy....

Roasted Whole Cauliflower Head

Slow Cooker Beef Ribs

I cook them slowly for several hours, then baste them with the pan juices and briefly broil them to brown the fat. It’s so good, that I’ve been making it regularly ever since. Apart from being super tasty, these ribs are also very easy to make, and I love the fact that leftovers are REALLY good - almost better than the freshly cooked dish. At home, after some research, I developed the following recipe, which resulted in tender, succulent, and very flavorful ribs....

I love serving them over buttery mashed cauliflower, and the leftovers are wonderful too! I adore lamb. I realize that not everyone likes this bold-tasting meat, but I find it so intensely flavorful!

Cheesy Broccoli Tots

Leftovers are really good, so I sometimes double the recipe and enjoy the leftovers for several days. When it comes to green veggies and picky eaters, broccoli is not the worst offender. When fresh, it’s fairly mild-flavored. And when lightly steamed or roasted, it is quite delicious. Still, the Picky Eater in our family doesn’t ever eat more than half a cup of it, even when generously buttered. That’s why I adore these broccoli tots....

Serve it with veggies or berries to balance out its richness. It’s wonderful topped with a dollop of sour cream! I love eggs.
