Roasted Tomato Pizza

https://youtu.be/lf-2T4bN2Us This is a fabulous vegan pizza that's going to leave you screaming for more.  I love this pizza so much and it has no cheese, and doesn't even need any.  I promise you won't miss the cheese on this pizza at all.  You can of course add anything to…

Mexican Beef Soup

  https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=I2BvCB2niBM&index=1&list=PL8JR24XiMN4gPXwjDe1JyUH6wF3ZAgJw4 This is a great soup that pretty easy to make, and it's not thickened in the least.  It's got a lovely piece of really tender roast beef  in the bowl along with rice, or potatoes and any veg you like.  The broth is really beefy and you can…

Homemade Ricotta

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=JHR4YfFJums Nothing, and I mean Nothing beats homemade ricotta.  The stuff you get in the store is shredded cardboard compared to this.  The aroma alone is enough to send you into a frenzy.  And you know what... it's so incredibly easy to make you'll never buy it again.  It's great…

Paris Soup

https://youtu.be/Ls2Uh-T7VcE This is a wonderful soup where everything is done from scratch so it's a little bit of trouble, but it's more than worth it.  We call this Paris soup because we were staying by Paris for a month with the family a couple years ago and this is a…

Yankee Pot Roast

https://youtu.be/MBpimXjdY4I This is the classic Yankee pot roast that you see on TV all the time.  The problem with most of these is that the veggies are way overcooked and mostly flavorless.  Remember, season in layers.  If you don't season all the components then the final dish will be flat. …

Pan-seared Tilapia

https://youtu.be/MC_zraRqkHQ We love this dish.  This one dish is probably responsible for our kids liking fish.  It's simple, and fast, and cheap... all 3 things we love in a meal.  We cook it at very very high heat because tilapia is thin and fish cooks fast anyway, so we've got…

Old-World Tomato Soup

https://youtu.be/7L6hF_-HdQY I'm calling this old-world tomato soup because of the way the French originally thickened things like bisque.  Bisque was originally (and with many classically trained chefs) thickened with rice instead of roux.  So we're going to thicken our tomato soup with brown rice instead of roux or cornstarch.  Now,…

Guiness Lamb Tips with Mint Sour Cream

https://youtu.be/o5FtSVJ1WDs This is another lamb stew only this time instead of curry I went with Guiness.  It's really a take on Steak and Guiness pie that you get in London pubs, but we're just going to serve it over pasta or something. Who knows we might do mashed potatoes. So…

Lamb Curry Cassoulet

https://youtu.be/HOJRG1YxYhE This is a great recipe that even my littlest boy likes.  He's 8 and we had this last night when I made this vid and he said "This is stupid good".  And he claims to not like curry or lamb. So this is just a basic curry, nothing fancy,…
