Scalloped potatoes au gratin are my favorite Easter side dish! Thinly sliced potatoes baked in a simple creamy sauce until tender with a lightly golden top.

Can be assembled ahead, which helps things manageable and pairs well with ham, lamb or beef. It's the perfect Easter side dish.

Planning St. Patrick’s Day?

I’ve been making this corned beef for nearly 20 years. It's slow-cooked until fork tender. It’s straightforward, reliable, and always turns out the way it should.

Pro tip: Make it a day ahead.

Need an easy Fish Friday dinner?

This Ritz cracker baked cod is a favorite recipe of mine. It’s a simple Lent-friendly option that still feels like comfort food.

Crisp on top, flaky inside, and comes together quickly. Serve with mashed potatoes or rice and dinner is done.
