Try an easy spinach souffle for a light lunch or side dish
The very word “soufflé” make eyes glaze over and may cause some to pass on this recipe. But take heart, this is not the soufflé of Grand French cooking lore. This is a baked spinach laughably easy but delicious. This would make a light lunch. It is a mainstay at many festive gatherings. The start here is with frozen spinach. If using fresh spinach, pile it in a colander after cleaning, sprinkle some salt and pour boiling water over to wilt it and extract some of the inherent water in the leaves. Also, a word about nutmeg: this is a spice not often used in a savory dish, but it pairs well…

An elegant early spring dessert
Orange you gonna serve dessert? One of the joys of entertaining folks at home will be realizing we are back to some sort of normalcy and not eating with friends facing a laptop screen. Dessert is one of the great treats of life. When you did cook dinner for friends, do you run out of energy for dessert? Default to bakery cake or tubs of ice cream? I would guess at least once, after making your special boeuf bourguignon or apple stuffed Cornish game hens, dessert was the last thing on your mind.

Over countless servings at the club, several versions have emerged: no lasagna noodles, deep fried…
