Pizza pockets are easy to make at home. My family liked the sausage & mushroom-filled pockets and the spinach & three cheese-filled pockets but you could use whatever filling you want.

This rendition of a chicken and eggplant Parmesan sandwich is satisfying and light, a perfect summer meal. Wrap the chicken and eggplant in large lettuce leaves for a main course or in smaller leaves for an appetizer.

Eggplant parmigiana is a great way to get your family to eat eggplant because by dredging it in egg and flour, it becomes soft and tender and the flavor mellows out. In this rendition of eggplant parmesan, I have combined chicken and eggplant parmesan strips into a sandwich. When mixed in with the chicken strips, your family may not even notice that eggplant is included.

Frittatas and Spanish tortillas are very similar. A common version of the tortilla española is made with a simple combination of eggs and potato. In this rendition, I added spinach, feta cheese, bacon and red bell pepper.

This hearty soup can be a satisfying main course or a filling side dish. It is simple to make, just allow up to an hour to properly caramelize the onions. {Although I have to admit that I recently made it when I was short on time and I cooked the onions at a higher temp for only about 30 minutes and the soup still turned out great.}

I used a recipe for vanilla tuiles from The Bon Appétit Cookbook to make homemade ice cream cones. Though they are delicate cookies, they have a rich buttery, vanilla flavor and they complement any flavor of ice cream.

One of my favorite comfort foods is mushroom risotto, so when we came home from morel mushroom hunting with a bag of morels, I couldn’t wait to try morel risotto. I happened to have some local asparagus so I added it to the mix.

With a bag of freshly-picked morel mushrooms, I decided to make a morel mushroom and bacon pizza. The subtle earthiness of the morels was a perfect match for the saltiness of the bacon.

This recipe comes from my Great Aunt Gladys, and my mom has been making it since before I was born. I love the fact that it is filled with fresh, uncooked strawberries. My aunt traditionally made it with an easy coconut pie crust but I like to use my Coconut Macaroon Tartlet Shells for a chewier (and butter-less) crust.

This is our take on a shrimp pizza that we had at one of our favorite pizzerias. The creaminess of the avocado is a perfect combo with the shrimp.
