BBQ Braised Pot Roast
With winter arriving it is for hearty warming meals, during the colder months we do a lot of braising. Braising is a combination-cooking method that uses both wet and dry heats: typically, the food is first sautéed or seared at a high temperature, then finished in a covered pot at a lower temperature while sitting…
Mac and Cheese Pot Pie

David Venable’s Chocolate Chip Cookie Pie
This is another wonderful dessert from QVC host David Venable’s COMFORT FOOD SHORTCUTS cookbook. I have to warn you while this will look like cookie bars when it is baked you will want to take a smaller slice than you think, it is very very rich. Pre heat the oven to 325, move the oven…
