Basil Pesto

My favorite Italian sauce is pesto, I use it for way more than pasta! It’s great on lamb chops, sandwiches and just about anything!

Caramelized Shallot Mashed Potatoes

Crème fraîche lends a tangy creaminess to this traditional holiday favorite, and the sweetness of the caramelized shallots adds additional depth.

Mexican Tomato Rice & Beans

When cooked using the absorption method, medium-grain rice yields a tender, starchy, slightly creamy kernel that’s ideal for saucy rice dishes like this one.

There are countless variations of potato and every family has their favorite. However, for a change, why not try a version with a mustard and oil dressing instead?
