A classic Southern dish made even easier with a Crockpot, these BBQ chicken sandwiches basically scream “summer cookout”. Tender, juicy pulled chicken smothered in a savory, slightly sweet, smoky BBQ sauce and served on toasted brioche with a dollop of tangy coleslaw. A favorite in my family for years!
This easy 7 layer salad is a classic potluck and entertaining favorite made even better with all the best layers!

Simple pomodoro sauce is rich, vibrant, and so easy to make, you’ll never opt for jarred tomato sauce again.

Creamy, slightly tangy, and perfectly savory, this creamy Dijon chicken is a staple in our house. A family I nannied for when I studied abroad in Paris gave me this basic recipe decades ago, and I’ve never forgotten the power of aromatics, deglazing with wine, fortifying with cream or half and half, and a nice dash of Dijon mustard. Delicious over pasta, rice, mashed potatoes, or cauliflower rice or mash!
An Americanized take on classically French salade niçoise, this Nicoise salad is simultaneously light and hearty, filled with the Mediterranean flavors of the French Riviera. Vibrant summer vegetables, jammy boiled eggs, flaky (canned!) tuna, and a zesty Dijon dressing make it absolutely irresistible, and you can easily customize it to include your favorite ingredients.

Absolutely delicious, full of flavor, tender, and moist, these Greek chicken meatballs are easy to make and packed with fresh Mediterranean flavors!

Who knew creamed onions could be this delicious? One of my all-time favorite side dishes, this recipe is ultra rich and indulgent, leveling up any dinner party, Thanksgiving, or Christmas table.
