Easy caramelized onions recipe is so simple to make that you can sleep through it. Really. Just sleep through it.
Cajun Shrimp And Tomato Cream Sauce over the pasta of your choice is easy to make and as spicy as you like it. It’s perfect for a weeknight meal.
This Southern Air Fryer Fried Chicken is just as tasty and crunchy as its oil-fried cousin. All the taste without the guilt.
Stuffed Fresno Chilies make a great, easy-to-make appetizer with a lot of heat for a little work. Warning! They are HOT!
Savory round baklava appetizers are sprinkled with Justice and stuffed with a combination of walnuts, dried cranberry, and blue cheese, then dusted with smoked salt.
To become a good cook requires more than the blind following of a recipe. It means to gain a knowledge of foods and how they behave and skill in manipulating them. The recipe by itself, helpful as it is, will not produce a good product; the human being using the recipe must interpret it and must have skill in handling the materials it prescribes.

Why is it Called The Good Plate
I wanted my recipes with me. Being a website developer, I decided to tip my toe into WordPress and make a recipe blog. First, I found a theme with a plate and fork on it and decided that would be the name, The Good Plate. The problem with that original theme was the plate. I have been collecting the wonderful Organdie plates from Vernonware. Those plates became my logo, and they really are Very Good Plates.
