In all honesty, I don't love rice (unless it's fried rice with tons of Yum-Yum sauce or this coconut rice), but some recipes just scream for it to soak up all the sauce. Whether rice is life for you, or you're more take-it-or-leave-it like me, - [Gift Guide for the Homebody](https://nevernothungry.com/gift-guide-for-the-homebody/) - Hey, friends!

I actually don't think I've ever met anyone who doesn't love French onion soup-even if they hate onions.

Do - [Simple Roasted Brussels Sprouts](https://nevernothungry.com/simple-roasted-brussels-sprouts/) - There's something transcendent about a perfect, simple recipe. Even more so when it's for the humble Brussels sprout, which gets such a bad rap because so many of us have only experienced boiled-to-death, mushy little brassicas that (almost) ruin us from ever eating them again. Fried Brussels sprouts have taken the appetizer scene by storm - [Balsamic Peach Salad with Chicken and Crispy Prosciutto](https://nevernothungry.com/balsamic-peach-salad-with-chicken-and-crispy-prosciutto/) - AGGHH, I fully recognize that peach season is basically over and this recipe is waaay late.

Go now and buy alllll the peaches. You have to make this peach upside-down cake before they’re gone for the season and our peach fixes are relegated to opening a frozen bag or can of peach slices. Yeah, yeah, they’re fine, but there’s nothing like a fresh, juicy peach to eat out of hand, - [Spicy Parmesan Stuffed Mushrooms](https://nevernothungry.com/spicy-parmesan-stuffed-mushrooms/) - Mushrooms, Appetizers, Stuffed Mushrooms, Parmesan - [One-Pot Garlic Parmesan Pasta](https://nevernothungry.com/one-pot-garlic-parmesan-pasta/) - Say hello to the easiest pasta EVER. This is basically the lazy man’s version of fettuccine alfredo, where everything is poured into and cooked in, wait for it…one pot. Just in case you missed that in the title. This is so garlicky and creamy, which are basically my two favorite things in the world. Do - [Shiitake Peanut Noodles](https://nevernothungry.com/shiitake-peanut-noodles/) - This is the vegetarian cousin to my most favorite, most beloved Sesame Chicken Noodles...but this one has MUSHROOMS! And PEANUT SAUCE! Just look at that picture. There's not a chance that this could be bad. Make this vegan by omitting the egg noodles and substituting with a vegan variety of Asian noodles. - [Raspberry-White Chocolate Scones](https://nevernothungry.com/raspberry-white-chocolate-scones/) - I have a thing for scones, okay?! Let's have a thing for scones together. Just make these for breakfast tomorrow. - [Caramelized Cauliflower](https://nevernothungry.com/caramelized-cauliflower/) - This is an absurdly easy but insanely delicious vegetable side dish. My uncle made roasted cauliflower that was brown and caramelized with crunchy, almost burnt bits here and there (my favorite part) from the high heat and long cooking time. You are going to cook this way past where you think you should…don’t be scared! - [Prosciutto-Wrapped Stuffed Chicken Breasts](https://nevernothungry.com/prosciutto-wrapped-stuffed-chicken-breasts/) - This recipe comes from Chrissy Teigen’s fantastic cookbook, Cravings. I spent a month cooking from her cookbook because every recipe just looked soooo good. I’ve adjusted the amounts for the filling because I like it a little gooier and bacony-er. Lemons have a way of ending up in about 75% of my food and I - [Shaking Beef](https://nevernothungry.com/shaking-beef/) - This is the signature dish from The Slanted Door, a modern and trendy Vietnamese restaurant in the Ferry Building in San Francisco. I ate there on a trip last year and was so impressed by the food. I’m pretty sure we ordered half the menu between two people, but there were so many mouthwatering items - [Lemon-Blueberry Biscuits](https://nevernothungry.com/lemon-blueberry-biscuits/) - There is a restaurant chain Bojangles that is ubiquitous in South; I MUST seek one out any time I cross the Mason-Dixon line. The chain has a sweet buttermilk biscuit called the Bo-Berry, and when I found a recipe for Blueberry Biscuits that referenced these on Food52, I knew I had to try them. I - [Frisée aux Lardons](https://nevernothungry.com/frisee-aux-lardons/) - This salad is a French classic and is shockingly light, considering it contains both bacon and eggs. The sharp vinaigrette and slightly bitter friseé cut through the richness of the bacon and poached eggs. I have to admit: those poached eggs gave me a fit! I was seriously doubting my cooking abilities, threw out two - [Pan-Broiled Ribeye](https://nevernothungry.com/pan-broiled-ribeye/) - Okay so it’s probably obvious that this is not a cheap or light dish. This is decadence in its purest form…a thick slice of meat on the bone, golden brown from the broiler and bathed in a garlicky butter. Make this for a special occasion. Ribeye is by far my favorite cut of steak because - [Pizza with Chorizo, Jalapeños, Corn and Garlic Cream](https://nevernothungry.com/pizza-with-chorizo-jalapenos-corn-and-garlic-cream/) - Here’s my free advertisement for Baking Steel: buy one. It will change your pizza-making life. It is a large (or small) piece of steel that gets incredibly hot when properly preheated and makes pizzas and breads of your dreams…like professional quality. It’s very hard to replicate the action of a commercial or pizza oven, but - [Lemon-Almond Breakfast Tart](https://nevernothungry.com/lemon-almond-breakfast-tart/) - This recipe comes from cookbook author extraordinaire Mark Bittman (you should check out his books) and is a tart in the loosest sense of the word-it’s baked in a skillet and has no crust or filling, so to speak. It’s a rich, almondy batter that forms its own crust when cooked, more reminiscent of a - [Margherita Pizza](https://nevernothungry.com/margherita-pizza/) - This is your classic Neapolitan Margherita pizza…so simply, but when the flavors are balanced correctly, it is truly your perfect pizza. This is the time to break out all the big guns: good homemade dough, homemade pizza sauce with San Marzano tomatoes, and the best-quality fresh mozzarella you can find. True Margherita pizza with made - [Smoky Sprouts Pizza](https://nevernothungry.com/smoky-sprouts-pizza/) - Happy Pi Day! It’s (pizza) pi(e) week for me! I promise to branch out next week and give you a variety of recipes…but this week, we celebrate pizza! This is a veggie-packed pizza with the smoky flavors of both smoked mozzarella and bacon. Can I let you in a little pizza secret? Don’t put too - [Arugula Pizza with Speck](https://nevernothungry.com/arugula-pizza-with-speck/) - Speck is smoked prosciutto, so you can absolutely substitute prosciutto for a slightly different flavor. I highly recommend any La Quercia pork product as the extremely high quality, consistent and authentic and, as a plus, it’s made in Iowa! This is the quickest pizza to put together if you have some dough and sauce waiting - [BLT with Lemon-Rosemary Mayonnaise](https://nevernothungry.com/blt-with-lemon-rosemary-mayonnaise/) - One of the first things I want to make when good tomatoes start to come back into season is a BLT…what’s not to love?! A fine BLT is a piece of art…when all the elements are perfectly balanced, no ingredient overtaking the others and the sandwich doesn’t fall apart when you’re eating it (a common - [New Orleans BBQ Shrimp](https://nevernothungry.com/new-orleans-bbq-shrimp/) - Sadly, I have never been to New Orleans, but I imagine they wouldn’t hate me there for this one, even if it’s not authentic. Oddly enough, the best shrimp I’ve ever eaten is from a restaurant in Iowa City, Iowa called The Atlas; they have a Voodoo Shrimp appetizer on their menu that I MUST - [Heirloom Tomato Salad with Burrata, Arugula and Crispy Prosciutto](https://nevernothungry.com/heirloom-tomato-salad-with-burrata-arugula-and-crispy-prosciutto/) - It’s tomatoes all day every day for me. I have been known to regularly make a meal of tomatoes, greens and cheese. This is a kicked-up version of a caprese salad with the tomatoes as the star; it can be a simple dinner or an elegant starter salad for your guests! Last week, I made - [Asparagus Tart with Burrata, Basil and Lemon Mascarpone](https://nevernothungry.com/asparagus-tart-with-burrata-basil-and-lemon-mascarpone/) - Spring is coming…spring is coming…this is what I have been telling myself all winter and I’m finally feeling it! Asparagus is everywhere and cheap, green is popping up everywhere and my dogs actually want to be outside. Puff pastry is the secret to an easy and elegant tart, and you can really change up the - [Chicken Lettuce Wraps](https://nevernothungry.com/chicken-lettuce-wraps/) - I love this recipe so much it hurts. It’s healthy, easy, gluten-free (if you use Tamari soy sauce), hearty and so flavorful. See that picture up there…I ate that whole plate for dinner and did not feel one bit guilty about it. I came from an all-white meat family; dark meat was NEVER served - [Salted Chocolate Chip Cookies](https://nevernothungry.com/salted-chocolate-chip-cookies/) - THIS IS THE ONLY CHOCOLATE CHIP COOKIE RECIPE YOU WILL EVER NEED. A bold statement, I’m aware, but try them and shoot me an e-mail or comment to tell me I was right! I used a chocolate chip cookie recipe from the New York Times as a starting point, subbing turbinado sugar for some of - [Short Rib Beef Stroganoff with Creme Fraiche and Caramelized Shallots](https://nevernothungry.com/short-rib-beef-stroganoff-with-creme-fraiche-and-caramelized-shallots/) - My mom was visiting this weekend and we went to a local restaurant, where I spotted a short rib stroganoff on the menu…I refrained from ordering it on the first visit, but we ended up going back the next day and I slid in a to-go order for later, when I knew I would be - [Bagel Dip with Everything Bread Dippers](https://nevernothungry.com/bagel-dip-with-everything-bread-dippers/) - This is the most addictive dip, especially if you’re a dip-lover like me. It’s my go-to, quick recipe for any occasion that calls for a dip (so any occasion, ever)…either someone else better bring it or I will! I cannot stop eating this. Don’t mind me hovering over this at a potluck, or sneaking into - [Yorkshire Pudding](https://nevernothungry.com/yorkshire-pudding/) - This is THE BEST accompaniment to a prime rib dinner. Okay, fine…horseradish sauce is first, but this should be on your table right alongside this. If you’re ever in San Francisco, check out the House of Prime Rib if you can get a reservation. That place may make you a believer, if I can’t. Please - [Truffled Pasta with Chicken](https://nevernothungry.com/truffled-pasta-with-chicken/) - If I see anything with mushrooms on a menu, I have no need to look any further. I WILL ALWAYS ORDER THE DISH WITH MUSHROOMS. This is a riff on an Ina Garten recipe for Fettucine with White Truffle Butter and Mushrooms that I’ve been drooling over and I just happened to have everything for - [Christmas Eve Chicken Pie](https://nevernothungry.com/christmas-eve-chicken-pie/) - Chicken pie is one of my favorite traditions. I knew all about chicken pot pie (ugh), was introduced to (just) chicken pie a few years ago when I began attending Christmas Eve dinner at my brother’s girlfriend’s family’s house (lots of possessives there). Her family is from North Carolina, where immigrants from Moravia settled and - [Melt-In-Your-Mouth Sugar Cookies](https://nevernothungry.com/melt-in-your-mouth-sugar-cookies/) - The basic recipe for these sugar cookies came from one of my mom’s old church lady cookbooks. I grew up eating these, so there’s a bit of nostalgia attached to these cookies. They bake up so crisp and flavorful, and really melt in your mouth. - [Fontina Grilled Cheese](https://nevernothungry.com/fontina-grilled-cheese/) - It’s a cold day here and nothing sounded better than a melty, gooey sandwich with some hot tomato soup. This sandwich is a re-creation of one of my favorite sandwiches from a well-known nationwide café that also makes bread (can you figure it out?). It was removed from the menu long-ago, but every time I - [Korean Short Ribs](https://nevernothungry.com/korean-short-ribs/) - I have a slight obsession with short ribs in any form, but Korean short ribs might be one of my favorites. I first had these at a football tailgate, when my mom’s half-Korean friend brought them, using his mom’s recipe. I’ve begged for the recipe for years, and all I’ve gotten was a list of - [Creamy Coconut Rice](https://nevernothungry.com/creamy-coconut-rice/) - I have a confession: rice is not my favorite thing. Fried rice is about the only exception I make…until now. This is the rice of your coconut dreams! Make this immediately. - [Toffee-Butterscotch Scones](https://nevernothungry.com/toffee-butterscotch-scones/) - This is by far the best scone recipe I’ve ever tried! I gave a few to my neighbor after he mowed my law and he told me there were the best scones he’s ever had, so I have proof. And they’re a snap to make! Substitute with whatever mix-ins you like, or cut these in - [Mozzarella en Carozza](https://nevernothungry.com/mozzarella-en-carozza/) - In Italian, mozzarella en carozza means mozzarella in a carriage. This sandwich is basically the baby of grilled cheese and French toast. I know it sounds weird to fry a grilled cheese, but remember, the temperature of the oil is the key to frying, and having the oil at the proper temperature significantly reduces the - [Caramelized Brown Butter Rice Krispies Treats](https://nevernothungry.com/caramelized-brown-butter-rice-krispies-treats/) - This has an absolutely obscene, almost embarrassing amount of butter. These are so rich that you really can only eat just one, so this will serve a crowd. I love Rice Krispies that are soft and gooey long after they cool, and these are just that. For an extra-rich treat, go ahead and add a - [Coconut-White Chocolate Scones](https://nevernothungry.com/coconut-white-chocolate-scones/) - I had a disastrous experience trying to perfect some strawberry muffins for y’all and I needed some reassurance that I wasn’t a total failure at baking so I whipped up some of these scones. These come from the fabulous blog, What’s Gaby Cooking. I follow her on social media and watched her snap some delicious - [Burrata with Pickled Cherry Peppers and Tomatoes](https://nevernothungry.com/burrata-with-pickled-cherry-peppers-and-tomatoes/) - Hey friends, I know I've been absent for a bit. Life got ahold of me and wouldn't let go. But what better way to get back into it than with... Burrata…oh how I love thee. My life was forever changed when I had my first taste of this creamy masterpiece of a cheese. I remember - [Ratatouille with Goat Cheese and Basil Pistou](https://nevernothungry.com/ratatouille-with-goat-cheese-and-basil-pistou/) - This dish probably won’t grab your attention right away, but it should. Tender vegetables, topped with tangy goat cheese and silky basil pistou will have the Francophile in you screaming for joy! I first had this at a restaurant when someone else ordered it (because GASP! This would not grab my attention on a menu) - [Mascarpone Brownies](https://nevernothungry.com/mascarpone-brownies/) - Okay so it probably goes without saying that ANYTHING with mascarpone as an ingredient is going to be good, but these…these are something else. These are the most moist, rich brownies I’ve ever had. Basically, this is brownie fudge. These probably don’t need frosting, but we’ve already thrown caution to the wind so go ahead - [Cheesy Stuffed Mini Potatoes](https://nevernothungry.com/cheesy-stuffed-mini-potatoes/) - These are a fun spin on your classic baked potato. You can make your mashed potato filling any way you prefer; if you want to make a more refined version, substitute heavy cream for the buttermilk. If you really want to go all out, use a delicious, runny triple crème-style cheese, such as Mt. Tam, - [Shrimp Burgers with Herb Mayonnaise and Green Salad](https://nevernothungry.com/shrimp-burgers-with-herb-mayonnaise-and-green-salad/) - Okay so just to prep you: you are going to be making your own mayonnaise on this one. I guess you could use store-bought, and mix in some fresh herbs, but let’s just assume you’re going to make your own. Never done it before? That’s okay, I was a newbie once too and it - [Crab Omelet with Mascarpone, Fennel, Leeks and Old Bay Hollandaise](https://nevernothungry.com/crab-omelet-with-mascarpone-fennel-leeks-and-old-bay-hollandaise/) - Omelets and I used to be arch-enemies. I just couldn't figure out how to make them without throwing in the spatula and turning them into scrambled eggs to salvage the meal. It's always been one of those "mom things" that only moms seemed to be able to do...mine included. But I just kept trying and - [Queso Fundido](https://nevernothungry.com/queso-fundido/) - A welcome addition for your next Taco Tuesday at home! This is an oh-so ooey-gooey, cheesy (a pound, if we’re getting specific), spicy dip to serve at your next football party or Mexican fiesta…or for dinner to eat all by yourself. Don’t worry, I barely made a dent in it because it serves a ton. - [Croque Monsieur](https://nevernothungry.com/croque-monsieur/) - I spent the majority of my life convinced I didn’t like ham, until I actually tasted ham and decided that I had been missing out of this delicious, salty pork for my whole life. This is an easy gateway recipe for converting a so-called ham hater to a lover, because it’s covered in cheese and - [Chinese Chicken Salad](https://nevernothungry.com/chinese-chicken-salad/) - To say I'm obsessed with any salad is saying a lot: to say I'm obsessed with THIS salad should tell you everything you need to know to convince you to make it ASAP. There's something so messy and unkempt about this salad, different than those beautiful composed salads you see everywhere, but that's okay because - [The Famous Baked Brownies](https://nevernothungry.com/the-famous-baked-brownies/) - I could look at these all day. I'm going to make you look at them too. They're just so fudge, and crackly, and beautiful. You know that feeling when you just KNOW you're in the presence of perfection? And it's a marvel to behold? That's how I feel about these brownies. The recipe comes from - [Sweet and Buttery Green Beans](https://nevernothungry.com/sweet-buttery-green-beans/) - When’s the last time I told you how much I love Chrissy Teigen’s Cravings cookbook? I think it’s been a few hours, so I’ll tell you again. This is probably my favorite cookbook out of my (ahem! thousand) cookbooks. This recipe took a few tries; I could never quite get that perfect sugary glaze from - [Buttery Tuna Melts](https://nevernothungry.com/buttery-tuna-melts/) - Remember when I shared that open-faced tuna melt a few weeks ago and also shared about my fear of canned tuna most of my life? I had the most delicious tuna melt and my mind was forever changed. This is my attempt at recreating that sandwich. My best friends always used to order tuna melts - [Banana Bars with Cream Cheese Frosting](https://nevernothungry.com/banana-bars-with-cream-cheese-frosting/) - Have some old too-brown-to-eat bananas lying around on your counter or in your freezer? Come on, I know you do. Here's that classic banana bar recipe that we all know and love with that perfect, fluffy, not-too-sweet cream cheese frosting to crown that golden cake. This is the banana bar recipe my mom has used - [Creamed Mushrooms over Garlic Confit Toast](https://nevernothungry.com/creamed-mushrooms-over-garlic-confit-toast/) - These are SO GOOD that I'm struggling to find words for them.
