TODAY on MHTV: Creating a restaurant-worthy meal at home is way less intimidating than it sounds. Herbed butter, spread on a cut baguette and popped in the oven makes a great dipper for leftover sauce from my simple but delicious shrimp scampi. To add some green to the dinner table, I go for a favorite salad of my youngest, Luca; a one-bowl Caesar with huge homemade croutons and a dressing I mix right in the bowl with the romaine. More from the show.
