Savory pork and gooey melted cheese makes this Ham and Cheese Quiche a family favorite. (Photo by Jathan Fink, Jadeworks Entertainment)
This quiche recipe was given to me by my dear friend Sandy Gunn when we were living in Southern California and Jathan was a toddler. It’s been one of my go-to “company” meals ever since and always pleases. In fact, it’s one of Jathan’s favorite dishes to this day! Read more of this post

Lucinda Scala Quinn’s Mad Hungry Shepherd’s Pie (Photo by Jonathan Lovekin)
In his autobiography, Rolling Stones guitarist Keith Richards tells of cooking two things at home: bangers and mash (sausage and mashed potatoes), and shepherd’s pie. Here, I have co-opted his idea of doubling up on the onions by adding a bonus layer of chopped, raw onions between the cooked onion–meat mixture and the potatoes. Save on dishes by sautéing the meat mixture in the same oven-safe, deep skillet you will bake the pie in. Alternatively, sauté the meat in a skillet and assemble the pie in a separate casserole dish.

Our grown-up stuffed peppers are a new spin on a family favorite. (Photo by Jathan Fink, Jadeworks Entertainment)
Growing up, both our mothers made stuffed peppers for dinner because it was an inexpensive and wholesome meal that stretched a few ingredients to feed our families. However, I prefer this grown-up version because it incorporates sweet red peppers, flavored chicken sausage instead of beef, and Near East’s toasted pine nut couscous mix which adds a bit of spice to the filling. This recipe is pretty forgiving though, so feel free to substitute whatever ground meat you may have on hand. You can also use rice like our moms did if couscous isn’t available.

It doesn’t have to be game day to serve up a yummy family favorite like Frito Pie.

As a kid, Frito Pie was always one of my favorite school lunches. It was crunchy, cheesy and simply good, filling grub. But one of the things I didn’t like about it is that sometimes it was a little too oily, which wasn’t a good thing for a teenager worried about his complexion. Now I’ve replaced half the meat with ground turkey, added more seasoning for a deeper flavor profile, and even thrown in a bit of corn meal for extra creaminess. I hope you like this grown-up version as much as I do! Read more of this post

I’ve always been a bargain shopper. That’s one of the reasons I always stock up on cuts of meat like pork tenderloin when they go on sale during the holidays or when the butcher marks them down for quick sale at the end of the day. That way, when I want to entertain, I have my selection of meat in the freezer and don’t break the bank when I decide to cook for guests. Also, pork tenderloin is tasty and versatile. But this is one of my absolute favorite ways to prepare it and your family will rave over the delicious sauce. Best part of all is, this is one of the simplest dishes ever to make.
