Zucchini Fusilli
The quintessential summer pasta dish. Light, tasty and pretty enough to eat! Cutting the zucchini into strips and cooking them until they’re tender but still holding their shape allows them to twist and turn around the fusilli, clinging to the noodles like sauce.
Ingredients
- 2 pounds zucchini
- 2 garlic cloves
- 12 large basil leaves
- 1/3 cup pine nuts
- 2 tablespoons butter, divided
- 1 tablespoon olive oil, divided
- 1/2 teaspoon plus 1 tbsp. salt, divided
- 3/4 pound fusilli
- 1 cup fresh finely shredded parmesan cheese (about 2 oz.), divided
How to Make It
-
Bring a large pot of water to boil. Meanwhile, trim and discard ends of zucchini. Cut each zucchini into 3- to 4-in. lengths; cut each length into 1/4- to 1/2-in.-thick matchsticks and set aside. Chop garlic and set aside. Cut basil leaves into thin ribbons and set aside.
-
In a large frying pan over medium heat, toast pine nuts, stirring, until golden, about 2 minutes. Transfer to a small bowl and set aside. In the same pan, melt 1 tbsp. butter with 2 tsp. olive oil. Increase heat to high and add half of the zucchini and 1/4 tsp. salt. Cook zucchini, stirring frequently, until soft and browned, about 5 minutes. Transfer zucchini to a plate with a slotted spoon, leaving as much of the butter and oil in the pan as possible. Repeat with remaining zucchini and 1/4 tsp. salt. Remove frying pan from heat and reserve.
-
Add remaining 1 tbsp. salt and fusilli to boiling water and cook until pasta is tender to the bite, 5 to 10 minutes. Drain and transfer to a large bowl.

Clotted Cream for Afternoon Tea
The History and Tradition of Afternoon Tea
The tradition of afternoon tea started in the early 19th Century when the wealthy set felt they needed a ‘pick-me-up’ in the afternoon. This is not surprising because they typically ate just 2 meals a day; breakfast and dinner, so the skipping of that 3rd meal led to a mid afternoon slump hence the creation of afternoon tea.
Ingredients
- 1-16 ounce container pasteurized heavy cream
Instructions
-
Place a large heatproof bowl over a large saucepan of water (make sure the water is not touching the bottom of the bowl.
-
Add the cream to the bowl and bring the water to a simmer.
-
Using a candy thermometer, bring the temperature of the cream to 180 degrees F (82 degrees C) and maintain that temperature for 1 hour.
-
After 1 hour, turn off the heat and remove the bowl from the boiler.

Whiskey Glazed Flat Iron Steaks and Grilled Potatoes For Father’s Day
The Perfect Father’s Day Dinner! The flat iron steak is the second most tender cut of beef, after the petite filet mignon. A true flat iron is cut horizontally just above and below that tough muscle (rather than vertically through it) so the muscle can be discarded and all that is left is very flavorful and tender beef.
Ingredients
- 1/2 cup whiskey, such as Jack Daniels
- 1 tablespoon brown sugar
- Kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper
- 1/4 cup olive oil
- 4 cloves garlic, smashed
- Four 8-ounce flat iron steaks or filet mignon steaks
- 1 1/2 pounds Yukon gold potatoes
- 2 tablespoons chopped fresh chives
- 1 teaspoon white wine vinegar
Directions
Preheat a grill on medium-high heat. Whisk together the whiskey, brown sugar, 1 1/2 teaspoons salt and 1 teaspoon pepper until the sugar and salt are dissolved. Stir in 2 tablespoons of the oil and the garlic. Add the steaks, turn a few times to coat with the marinade and let stand at room temperature for 20 minutes.
Meanwhile, quarter each potato lengthwise to form wedges and put in a medium pot. Cover with cold water to cover by 1-inch and add salt until the water tastes like sea water. Bring to a boil over medium-high heat, reduce the heat to medium and simmer until tender (but not falling apart), about 15 minutes. Drain well. Toss with 1 tablespoon olive oil.

Ginger Ale-Can Chicken
It is hard to get simpler, or more Southern, than Can Chicken. For this recipe, two whole chickens are marinated in a mixture that includes liquid steak seasoning, rosemary, garlic, and pepper. The chickens then get oven-baked vertically over opened cans of ginger ale until they are perfectly roasted. The secret is that in the hot oven the ginger ale steams, keeping the chicken moist. This easy roasting method also allows fat to drip through and around the chickens, giving them a rich flavor and a beautiful golden-brown color. This will taste great on the table—fresh and hot, it would certainly give “canned chicken” a whole new meaning.
Ingredients
- 2 (3-lb.) whole chickens
- 1/4 cup vegetable oil
- 1/2 cup liquid steak seasoning
- 1 tablespoon salt
- 1 tablespoon chopped fresh rosemary
- 2 teaspoons minced garlic
- 1 teaspoon pepper
- 2 (12-oz.) cans ginger ale
- Garnishes: red leaf lettuce, green grapes, rosemary sprigs
