Definitely deserves 5 star. This was our dinner yesterday, I only made half of the recipe, so I actually roasted the cauliflower and garlic in the small toaster oven. It did take a bit longer, but the result was great. I also added some freshly grated lemon zest, very good.

Easy grilled pork ribs; dry-rubbed with spices, slow-baked, and then finished on the grill with a vinegary basting sauce.

Cheesy and creamy mac 'n cheese with the added texture and flavor of mushrooms and broccoli, all in one skillet for easy cleanup. Using a skillet keeps it quicker than a slow baked version as well.

Spice rubbed bone-in blade chop replaces the traditional pork butt to deliver a smaller quantity of pulled pork without waiting half a day to cook.

A spaghetti squash casserole cooked with Gryuere (or swiss) cheese and fresh basil until the parmesan cheese is browned and the casserole is bubbling. Unbelievably low-fat, low-carb delicious goodness.

Three-meat combo burgers: ground sirloin, pork, and veal blended with oats, chili sauce, and Worcestershire. Grilled patties with serious depth.

Make this creamy yet tasty shrimp curry for dinner, serve it with some steamed rice, top with yogurt, and/or some toasted cashew nuts, raisins, cilantros or scallions.

Toss the cooked pasta and rapini with sauteed shallots, red peppers, sun-dried tomato, marinated artichoke hearts, and olives; sprinkled with Parmesan cheese. A quick, easy yet tasty one-pan Mediterranean meal.

These meatballs were very easy to make, and they had great flavor. We added the meatballs to the spaghetti sauce, and our meal was filling and delicious.

It's hard to not fall in love with this tasty flatbread that has caramelized onion, roasted bell pepper and creamy goat cheese.

Traditional Indian dish of roasted chunks of chicken in a spicy sauce. The chicken is a very good source of lean protein, while the sauce provides important nutrients such as vitamins A and C as well as calcium.

Grilled jalapeno buffalo burgers fire up lean bison with onion, garlic, and a homemade hot chile sauce. Cooked just to medium so the lean meat stays juicy. A leaner, bolder backyard burger.

Nobody will say no to this delicious lasagna. Layers of great flavors and very filling. Perfect to make ahead, then reheat it at the dinner time.

Spicy succulent strips of chicken, onion and peppers mixed with sweetcorn, rice and cheese served in a warm tortilla. A great sharing dish – help yourself to a couple of enchiladas and eat with a fresh green salad, scatter with the rest of the grated cheese.

So to start off with the first post, I decided to make a meal that screams of comfort food. Whilst it does take a bit of a while to get the meal done, once you take that first bite, heaven couldn’t seem closer if you were Adam trying to touch God’s finger in the “Creation of Adam” fresco created by Michaelangelo.

The dominant theory is that Sheperds pie uses lamb mince, whilst a cottage pie uses beef mince.

Besides, comparing the price of ground (mince) beef to ground lamb, a student would pick up the beef mince in a heartbeat without even so much as glancing at the lamb in the meat section. This cottage pie that I made is full of flavour, and just makes you want to cuddle up next to a fire and watch TCM movies all day either by yourself, or with a significant other. Here is the recipe:
