Egads, when I started posting recipes on Wednesdays I had just left my job and began working from home.

No, I didn’t just go to Maria’s and order dinner and write a post about it. There was one, maybe two, more steps. The first step was that was when I was there ordering dinner I spied some really cool items in their freezer: Ziploc bags of meatballs, cheese ravioli and spinach ravioli. About a…
Okay, I did it again, I used a braising sauce/starter kit from Williams Sonoma when I invited an old friend over for dinner and didn’t have time to make something from scratch. We’ve had great luck with these sauces, they run less than each, and all I need to do is add meat, veggies and…
Another braising sauce/meal starter from Williams Sonoma! Every Christmas I get 3-4 of these starter kits in jars, store them away and then pull from my pantry in a pinch.

This recipe looked easy. When I got home with the ingredients and started to prep things I noticed words like “make ahead” “chill” and “food processor.” I’m Cuisinart challenged. Far too many attachments for me to master, yet, so I called in the Chief to set me up. It actually was a lot faster as…
