Grilled Zucchini Pizza

Fire up your grill to recreate a wood-fired oven environment and bake this zucchini pizza.  You will have a delicious pizza in about three to five minutes!

I'm not sure what the magic is, but these rolls have an amazing flavor. They also fill your house with a wonderful aroma when they are baking.

These double chocolate rye cookies are super chocolaty and decadent. Loaded with cocoa powder and lots of chopped bittersweet chocolate, these cookies will please any chocolate lover.

When there is a platter of cookies, I always go for the chocolate ones... the more chocolate the better.
Some of my favorites include Mexican hot chocolate cookies, Levain Bakery dark chocolate chocolate chip cookies, and homemade Thin Mints.

This Saffron Risotto, made in the Instant Pot, takes most of the work out of making risotto. You still end up with a creamy pot of delicious risotto, the perfect accompaniment to hearty braised meats.

This is the easiest risotto you will ever make. Rather than stirring in portions of broth or water and stirring until it's absorbed before adding more and stirring, stirring, and stirring again, this risotto is mostly hands off.
