My husband is a fairy picky eater but he requests this dish for dinner at least once a month. I keep the ingredients on hand for last-minute preparation.

I often get home too late to cook a good, satisfying meal for my family, so I’m always looking for shortcuts that taste great. Here’s one we always enjoy.

Ham, rice and veggies all in one bowl—so good on its own, but I often serve it up with deli potato salad or mac and cheese.

If it's ham, my kids will eat it, but they like this kicked-up recipe best of all. Even the small ones eat adult-sized portions, so be sure to make plenty.

I’ve cooked lobster alla diavola (devil’s style) since I was first married. We serve lobster at family celebrations, usually with linguine or capellini.

Colorful veggies and shrimp in a velvety cream sauce over rice or noodles.

I found a pork recipe in a newspaper many years ago, but I lightened it up quite a bit. This version is so tasty that I use it for weekend company as well as weeknight dinners.

The seafood is so good here in Florida, and shrimp is at the top of our list of favorites. Shrimp and wild rice make a delicious combination, and this dish is special enough to serve to company.
