Homemade: Baked Brie with mixture of fig jam, pistachios nuts and walnut

Hawaiian rolls, Rico’s cheddar sauce, roast beef, believe it or not you can buy Arby’s sauce in the grocery store. Brush with melted butter, top with dried minced onions and poppy seeds. Baked covered for 20 minutes 350°. Another 6-8 minutes to brown. Cut and serve.

*Some of these were more home-assembled, but I seared/cooked the lobster tails in a cast iron with paprika and butter, poached the shrimp, and sautéed the mussels, etc. The claws / Scallops St Jacques / and Oysters Rockefeller were from Wild Fork, and latter two required baking.

Did You Know? Even though it looks like rice, orzo is actually a type of pasta. The word “orzo” means “barley” in Italian, because of its rice-like shape.

Ingredients:

• 1 cup orzo pasta

• 2 tbsp Dijon mustard

• 1 tbsp capers

• Juice of 1 lime or lemon

• 2 tbsp olive oil

• Salt and pepper, to taste

• 2 small cucumbers, sliced

• 3 green onions, sliced

• 1 cup cherry tomatoes

• 1 cup fresh parsley, minced

• Leafy green salad

Directions:

1. Cook the Orzo: Bring a pot of salted water to a boil, add the orzo, and cook until tender. Drain and set aside.

2. Make the Dressing: In a large mixing bowl, whisk together Dijon mustard, capers, lemon or lime juice, olive oil, salt, and pepper until well combined.

3. Combine: Add the cooked orzo to the bowl and toss until coated in the dressing.

4. Add Veggies & Herbs: Mix in sliced cucumbers, green onions, cherry tomatoes, and parsley. Toss gently until everything is evenly combined.

5. Plate & Serve: Arrange leafy greens on a serving dish, spoon the orzo salad mixture on top, and enjoy fresh!
