STARTER: Hot Tuna Sandwich
|
|
|
The combination of tuna, mayonnaise, and melted cheese brings together textures and flavors that are both rich and satisfying, while baking it in the oven creates a crisp exterior with a warm, gooey center. It's the ideal upgrade for a classic tuna sandwich, elevating it into a dish that's comforting, yet just a bit indulgent.

DESSERT: Croissants
|
|
|
Croissants, though famously French, actually trace their roots to Vienna, Austria! Their ancestor is the kipferl, a crescent-shaped pastry that dates back to at least the 13th century. Legend says Viennese bakers created it to celebrate the defeat of the Ottoman Turks — the crescent shape imitating the symbol on the Ottoman flag.

NEW RECIPE
Skillet Fish Pie
This pie is one of those rare recipes that tastes like it came from the oven while being cooked entirely on the stovetop. It is an excellent choice for hot summer days, camping with a gas burner, vacation rentals, or any time you want a homemade meal without heating the entire kitchen. I also like that the batter is neutral enough to work with almost any savory filling, making it a recipe you'll come back to again and again.
