Fast & Easy Dinner: Feta-Stuffed Pita Burgers
Who says a burger has to be served between two buns? This recipe takes the traditional notion of the cheeseburger and turns it on its head. Instead of crumbling cheese over the patties, the feta is stuffed into the middle of a ground meat mixture.
Trend Alert: Satin Party Platforms
It's almost party time people. Catch up on your sleep and get your party wardrobe in order now to avoid holiday burnout. While you could go the princess route, like Kristen Stewart did at the New Moon LA premiere, on the other side of the red carpet, was Dakota Fanning in a flirtatious lace Valentino frock and satin party platforms.
Monday's Leftovers: Pork Cutlets With Cranberry Port Sauce
I just found the perfect use for my leftover cranberry sauce and boneless pork chops: this balanced dinner of sautéed pork cutlets.
I'll pan-fry some pork chops, then deglaze the pan with a combination of cranberries and port wine, for a sauce that's both sweet and tart.
The result?
Sunday Dinner: Black-Eyed Peas With Pork and Greens
Pork chops may be filling and healthful, but because they're a leaner cut, they aren't always full of flavor.
To keep your taste buds dancing, incorporate the other white meat into a classic Southern staple that's got major sass: the Hoppin' John.
A medley of black-eyed peas, brown rice, kale, and pork come together with the help of tomato, broth, vinegar, and paprika.
Monday's Leftovers: Lamb and Polenta "Lasagne"
With a little leftover ground lamb and even less time, you can make a layered lamb and polenta dish that rivals anything you could order at a restaurant.
The key to speedy success is to take smart shortcuts. Use already-stewed tomatoes, grated mozzarella, and ready-made polenta for easy layering.
Sunday Dinner: Whole-Wheat Flatbreads With Lamb & Yogurt
Ever since I made pasta with lamb and tomato ragu, I haven't been able to stop singing the praises of ground lamb. If you love ordering lamb at restaurants but have never made it at home, ground lamb is the perfect starting point, since it requires no special handling.
Prepare the quick, from-scratch recipe for wheat pitas below or, in a pinch, use store bought pitas or tortillas.
A Fabby Halloween: McQueen Muse
Enter into the world of Alexander McQueen where dark fantasies meld with high fashion. Skeletons, skulls, houndstooth, spiderwebs, and paranormal activity are all aspects of being a McQueen muse. Don't be mistaken for a clown when donning such out-of-this-world wear.
Fast & Easy Dinner: Provençal Rack of Lamb
Lots of nights, I crave roast chicken because it's simple and intensely comforting. However, I live alone, and unless I have someone over, cooking an entire chicken seems a bit wasteful. That's why I've taken to roasting rack of lamb instead.
