This Italian cheese is so versatile that it can be used in both sweet and savory recipes from cheesecakes to lasagnas.

These rich oysters get topped with a buttery mix of white wine, shallots, and lemon before they're grilled.

12 whole live oysters
2 tablespoons olive oil
1 clove garlic, finely chopped
1 small shallot, finely chopped
1/4 cup dry white wine
1/2 lemon, juiced
1 dash Tabasco sauce
2 tablespoons butter, cut into small pieces
1 teaspoon parsley
salt and pepper, to taste
Heat olive oil in small saucepan over medium low. Saute garlic and shallot for one minute, until just fragrant. Add wine, lemon juice and Tabasco, increase heat to medium and bring mixture just to a low boil. Slowly whisk in butter, then add parsley, salt and pepper off heat.
Preheat broiler or prepare a grill to medium high heat.
Shuck oysters and place on sheet tray or broiling pan. Spoon about a tablespoon of sauce over each oyster and broil for 2 to 3 minutes, until just golden brown on top and edges start to curl slightly. Or, place oysters directly on hot grill rack, cover, and grill for 5-6 minutes until edges of oysters just start to curl. Serve hot.

Keeping a can of frozen orange juice concentrate in the freezer means you can make more than just orange juice. Try it in a variety of orange-flavored recipes.
Ah, the unassuming envelope of onion soup mix. It's more than just for onion soup (or dip). It adds tremendous flavor (and convenience) in all these recipes.
