Roasted leg of lamb marinates in lemon, garlic and rosemary and stuffed artichokes bring back memories of my childhood—my mother used to… View Article

To… View Article

TODAY on MHTV: When there’s a little extra time during the week, it’s a great opportunity make meals in advance. Chicken pocket pies are loaded with flavor and go straight from freezer to oven—they’re an awesome alternative to the store-bought version that is overpriced and full of preservatives. Pot sticker dumplings take just a few… View Article

TODAY on MHTV: I probably make roast chicken once a week; the juicy, golden brown birds (I make 2 chickens at a time to make sure I have enough for everyone plus extra for sandwiches the next day) are rubbed with herbs and lemons.

TODAY on MHTV: Even though the turkey gets all the glory on Thanksgiving, this holiday dinner would be nothing without great side dishes.

TODAY on MHTV: My method for oven-braised short ribs eliminates browning the meat and lets the oven do all the work.

TODAY on MHTV: Even though I’m from up North, I’m a big fan of Southern food and was inspired to whip up this down-home menu of fried chicken and hearty sides.
