Cooking With Alicia

As I sit here, in front of a roaring fire, hunkered down for our first "big snow storm" of the season (very belated, by the way), I am thankful that I have some of this week's great meals in my fridge! These are just the types of days when it's nice to have dinner already cooked and just waiting to be heated up. So when you see a recipe that says "Serves 4" and there's only two of you: go ahead and make the whole thing. Freeze the rest and there it will be, ready for one of those days when you want something great to eat but don't want to spend any time on it.

Turkish Ground Lamb on Skewers

This week we are featuring Mediterranean Dishes. That gives us a lot of territory to choose from since the Mediterranean region spans three continents and sixteen countries including Spain, Portugal, France, Italy, Greece, Morocco, Turkey & Egypt. Experiment with the different flavors and take a trip through the Mediterranean!

Here's what we're recommending this week. Three of our suggestions are illustrated here. Go to the site to see the rest.

Panko-&-Ginger-Crusted Chicken

Big Pasta with Mushrooms

Easy Orange Cheesecake

Asparagus Rolls: These are such an easy appetizer. As one of our subscribers says: "There's something about these, you just can't stop popping them into your mouth!" Whip up a bunch and pop 'em in the freezer. You'll have almost-instant appetizers whenever you want them.

Panko Chicken: An excellent candidate for weeknight (or weekend) entertaining and also a good family meal. Crispy chicken strips served over a stir-fry of vegetables.

Big Pasta: From this week's Mediterranean Dishes feature. Lots of mushrooms in a creamy sauce mixed in with big pasta and then baked. Yum! Make it ahead and reheat it during the week. Leftovers are excellent for lunch.

Lamb Skewers: Also from this week's feature, ground lamb "meatballs" on-a-stick. What fun! Simple to prepare, quick to cook. Grill 'em or broil 'em.

Cheesecake: Fun as individuals but you can also make it as one big cake. It's easy to make but you need to plan ahead because it needs time to chill. Feast on it all week long!
