Hello, I’m Kelly Djalali

The Tuna Melt is an American invention. The story of the Tuna Melt though, is that of an accident. The story goes that during a busy shift at the Woolworth's lunch counter in Charleston, South Carolina, a bowl of tuna salad perched above the griddle, fell atop a grilled cheese sandwich while it was open-faced, on the griddle. I love it when an accident becomes an icon! Let's do this Best Ever Tuna Melt!

Today we have a hearty, delicious stew perfect for a chilly Sunday. This stew has such great Middle Eastern flavor and texture, with lamb meatballs, chickpeas, stewed tomatoes and soft onions; all atop a fluffy serving of sweet and savory roasted, mashed butternut squash. The stew is seasoned with za'atar, a Middle Eastern seasoning blend that includes the herb za'atar along with sumac, sesame seeds, coriander, cumin, marjoram and oregano. Lamb Chickpea Stew with Butternut Mash is pretty quick and easy. It's a beautifully colorful dish that I can't wait to make again!

Hello, welcome to Pizza and a Movie! After skipping last week in favor of Leftover Turkey Sandwiches, we are back today with a seriously amazing pizza. If you have been with me this week, you know that on Wednesday we had The Best Chicken Parmesan Sandwiches. I knew ahead that I would turn those leftovers into a pizza so here we are today. Our Chicken Parm leftovers become a fantastic pizza. This is an easy one, so let's get to it!

I have a sweet treat today. A cookie recipe perfect if you're looking for something new and different. If you're attending a holiday cookie exchange party, or just want some amazingly delicious cookies to enjoy, these have to be at the top of your list. Crisp around the edges, with soft centers, these Ginger Chocolate Cherry Cookies are studded with melty chocolate chunks and chewy dried cherries. A flavor bomb to be sure, each bite is a super satisfying textural experience, too.

Today we are making a classic, The Best Chicken Parmesan Sandwich. What makes it the best? Well, in my opinion it's the addition of a roasted pepper relish. I have to thank @mattymatheson for that addition. I already had this sandwich on my list for this week, so the addition of the roasted pepper relish was a no-brainer.

Today I have a recipe for a great side dish or vegetarian main. These Jeweled Rice Stuffed Onions are so pretty on the table, they're perfect for a holiday get together. You can do all the heavy lifting a day ahead and they will keep beautifully if you're taking them to a potluck. The gorgeous flavor and color of saffron rice is the star of this show, but the textures and flavors of the dried fruit, nuts and soft onions are really satisfying. And did I mention this dish is super pretty?

You might still be working your way through leftovers, but in case you're ready to move on from Thanksgiving flavors, I have a tomato-based soup with meatballs and pasta. It's hearty and comforting. To make things even easier, I am using store bought, frozen meatballs. This recipe is really simple and it comes together in about 25-30 minutes. Maybe you want a grilled cheese sandwich on the side, that's up to you...it's Easy Meatball Tomato Soup.

We're taking a diversion from Pizza and a Movie today to talk turkey leftovers. Alex and I particularly love sandwiches. And while there may be millions of recipes other than sandwiches for your Thanksgiving leftovers, I want to focus on a few turkey sandwiches that go way beyond the typical sliced turkey with mayo. I have a Turkey Sandwich Trio that might just change how you feel about that regular ol' leftover turkey sandwich.
