Main Dishes

This easy chili recipe is made on the stove and makes a very thick, hearty chili. For a thinner chili, omit the tomato paste. For a chili soup, omit tomato paste and sauce, use 1 can (16 ounces) of tomatoes with liquid, and add 1/2 cup water and 1 beef bouillon cube.

Creamy fettuccine Alfredo recipe with Parmesan, garlic, and lots of shrimp.

When it comes to mustard, sweet-hot works amazingly well, especially as a glaze for chicken. Even though we are using skin-on bone-in chicken thighs, I'm sure it will work with any cut of chicken. By the time this is done, it doesn't have a super-strong mustard flavor. It gets mellowed out by the brown sugar and spices. The old saying 'The closer the bone, the sweeter the meat' really is true. Leaving in the bones adds a lot of flavor and juiciness.

This unusual combination of common ingredients is fabulous! Everyone who tastes it asks me to share the recipe. You will love it and the many compliments you get--I promise!
