the last 2 for 2021

The year ended on a very delicious note, I made Brown-Butter Orzo with Butternut Squash, (However, I swapped the orzo for Arborio rice) and a Ham and Gruyère Pot Pie.
 
The orzo recipe is from one of my favorite New York Times contributors, Melissa Clark. This recipe popped out at me during a hunt a quick for a weeknight meal. For the recipe you’ll need unsalted butter, shallots, butternut squash, fresh sage leaves (you could use rosemary or marjoram), salt, freshly ground black pepper, red pepper flakes, vegetable or chicken stock, lemon zest, Parmesan cheese and whole-milk ricotta (optional.)

​The last time I posted to my blog was on December 10th. Since that time, I was called upon to watch each of my granddaughters on two separate occasions as they were unable to go to daycare. Despite my babysitting duties and working several days I week, I was still able to prepare home cooked meals. However, after being on my feet all day, I was unable to focus my energy on writing. This led me to post an image on social medial with minimal text which prompted my friend Nancy to post on my Facebook page, “Where r the recipes to all these things u post? The pork chops look delicious!”
 
I’ll start this blog by listing the recipes I’ve made since early December; then follow up with my review and comments to help you prepare these dishes in your kitchen. Meals prepared since December 10th are: Crockpot Beef Stew found on Food52 website, my sale find at Williams-Sonoma was their Soup Starter for Fast/Slow Cooking – Mushroom Wild Rice, from Lidia Bastianich Jumbo Shrimp Buzara Style, from The New York Times and Melissa Clark, a recipe for Porchetta-Style Pork Chops and lastly, Flank Steak with Caper-Walnut Sauce and Roast Beets from The Wall Street Journal.

​Skillet Chicken with Silky Peppers and Green Olives is a terrific weeknight meal as it only takes approximately 45 minutes to prepare. Besides, we could all use yet another chicken recipe, can’t we? For this dish you’ll need bone-in, skin on chicken thighs (I used breasts), fresh or dried oregano (I had fresh from my cold frame), kosher salt, fresh ground pepper, 2 peppers (red, orange or yellow or combination of colors), garlic, a fresh tomato, extra-virgin olive oil, red pepper flakes, green olives such as Castelvetrano (found at Wegmans), fresh herbs (parsley, basil or cilantro or a combination, I used parsley) and lemon wedges for serving (I omitted).

​Do you ever crave a pasta dish with a rich, creamy sauce? Recently in the “Here to Help” column in the first section of The New York Times was a published recipe by Colu Henry for Pasta alla Vodka. This recipe takes a quick 30 minutes to prepare.
 
For the recipe you’ll need, kosher salt, rigatoni (or penne), olive oil, pancetta (optional, but I suggest you don’t skip), an onion, fresh garlic, red-pepper flakes, vodka, 28-ounce can crushed tomatoes, black pepper, heavy cream, Parmesan cheese, fresh oregano and fresh parsley.
