Diane Morrisey on Instagram: "These roasted eggplant planks are a simple way to enjoy one of my favorite vegetables. I made them with salami but you can certainly also use prosciutto, ham, pepperoni or leave them vegetarian. I’ve also salted the eggplant slices here to rid them of their bitterness but tbh, I don’t always take the time to do this step…. The smaller the eggplant 🍆, the fewer seeds there are and therefore the less bitter it is. I always keep that in mind when picking eggplants. I love to serve it with a side of mashed potatoes or polenta and some roasted broccoli. I also leave the salami off the ones I’m gonna eat . . Roasted Eggplant Parmesan Planks . . . .

Diane Morrisey on Instagram: "I have always loved @inagarten Roasted Pepper and Goat Cheese Sandwich. Ina makes it on a ciabatta loaf like I am doing here, but back in my catering days, I used to make them on ciabatta rolls for individual sandwiches. I like to use my marinated roasted pepper salad for this sandwich. In fact when I make that pepper salad, I always make extra knowing I am going to want to make this sandwich. And since I just made a big batch of pepper salad, this sandwich was a given! So simple to do, you simply layer softened goat cheese, roasted pepper salad, red onion slices and fresh basil. Simple and delicious, it can be made in advance and wrapped up in foil or parchment. The sandwich gets better as it sits . . . Roasted Pepper and Goat Cheese Sandwich . . Roa
Diane Morrisey on Instagram: "Zucchini Fries are life right now 🙌 When you cut zucchini into spears, dredge them in a Panko Parmesan mixture, bake them and then dip them in a delicious sauce, you’re gonna want to do it again and again and again. I promise you that. Of course you can dip them in marinara, which I often do, but I like to switch the sauces up a bit. Todays sauce is a delicious Southern favorite called comeback sauce. Guys this sauce needs to be made by you asap. It’s excellent on sandwiches or as a dipping sauce . . .

Diane Morrisey on Instagram: "I love sauces and glazes and anything that you can dip something into. A simple sauce can really elevate anything, just like this one. I made a batch of my turkey pasta meatballs and simmered them in this simple Firecracker sauce. But truth be told, this sauce is fire on anything.. wings, grilled chicken or shrimp, egg rolls, French fries, baked zucchini chips, stir fry….

Diane Morrisey on Instagram: "Ever since I jumped on the Feta Fried Egg trend train complements of @graceelkus last summer, I haven’t gotten off. I like this train 🚂 This version does things exactly the same except for the fact that I drizzle the eggs with basil pesto instead of chili crunch and I also added some tomato slices to brighten it up. And oh boy was it delicious! Warming some feta until it begins to melt, drizzling it with a little basil pesto and then frying an egg directly on top to create a lacy, crispy, cheesy crust absolutely spoke to me. Serving it on a charred tortilla that I simply warmed directly on the burner and then smashed some avocado on it and topped with tomato slices was just the icing on the cake. I garnished it with some fresh basil from the garden, fo

Diane Morrisey on Instagram: "Took a lot of liberties when making this ‘Burger and Fries” bowl but it was a fun riff on the classic meal. I saw this made on @justinanderson feed yesterday and knew my boys would love it. I also had some leftover Big Mac sauce in the fridge that needed a purpose so it was a no brainer to make these. The base of the bowl are roasted sweet potato cubes that are topped with seasoned ground beef. I topped that with some shredded cheddar and then your favorite Burger toppings; shredded lettuce, tomatoes, onions, pickles and avocado. A drizzle of the Big Mac sauce on top finished them off beautifully. These are a fun meal to serve when entertaining because everything can be made ahead of time and everyone gets to assemble their own. Thanks for the inspo S

Diane Morrisey on Instagram: "Here’s a great dish for your Cinco de Mayo celebration! One skillet. That’s all. Cook your dinner in the same skillet that you bring to the table.

Diane Morrisey on Instagram: "This springtime pesto tortellini salad is filled with seasonal asparagus and peas and sautéed mushrooms. This version has chopped up cooked chicken but certainly can be made without it for a vegetarian version. I left them out this time, but I often add canned chopped artichokes and sun dried tomatoes.

Diane Morrisey on Instagram: "These wreaths are so versatile because you can really use any jam or cheese that you want. I’ve made it using fig or raspberry jam and even cranberry relish at the holidays. I’ve used gruyere, goat or mozzarella. Switch out the pears for apples and use thyme instead of rosemary. You really can’t go wrong with any combination! Serve this as an appetizer or slip it to serve over a salad. I made this version vegetarian but you can easily add crumbled bacon or prosciutto to the wreath. . . Pear Brie Apricot Wreath . . Assemble the wreath according to the video.

Diane Morrisey on Instagram: "A simple zucchini, smoked mozzarella and ham torte is something that my Grandmother made often. Sometimes she would layer in slices of tomatoes, but more often than not, this was the version she always made.

Diane Morrisey on Instagram: "Trader Joe’s has a one pound package of shaved beef that I love because of its versatility. I can use it so many ways. These simple pepper steak roll ups using crescent roll dough are a huge hit with my kids. So simple to assemble, they pack big flavor.

Diane Morrisey on Instagram: "I got my hands on a copy of @lideylikes new book called Cooking in Real Life 2 weeks ago and have to say I am slightly obsessed with it. In the last 2 weeks I’ve made this roasted fish recipe 4 times. Tender flaky fish bathed in a lemon herby oil with briney olives is so fresh, light and delicious. It’s exactly what I love about recipes; simple, unfussy and so damn flavorful… (as are all the recipes in her book!). Lidey uses Haddock in her recipe but I found a great deal on Cod so used that. She also cooks the recipe in a baking dish but I opted for an enamel skillet because it was clean and in front of me and it worked wonderfully as well. I used the actual herbs that Lidey recommends but I’d imagine that the delicious herby zesty oil would be terrific
