Insalata Caprese I

Rating: 4.5 stars 164
This tastes like the salad that is served at a famous Italian restaurant chain in my area. It's perfect with fresh loaf of crusty bread. For the best flavor be sure to use fresh whole-milk mozzarella it puts the packaged varieties to shame. You can find fresh mozzarella in Italian delis, gourmet markets, cheese shops and some grocery stores.

Yummy Artichoke Dip

Mmm-Mmm good! Generous amounts of cream cheese and Parmesan cheese make this artichoke dip a sure crowd-pleaser. Serve with corn chips. Substitute chopped jalapeño peppers for the green chiles if you dare.

Cheese's Baked Macaroni and Cheese

Rating: 4.5 stars 375
I got this recipe from my sister, whom I nicknamed Cheese when we were little girls. Now that we're adults, the name still sticks and my children call her Auntie Cheese. Needless to say, with a nickname like Cheese, her Baked Mac and Cheese is definitely the best around.

Rating: 4.5 stars 263
Very intense, rich dish due to the sharpness of the cheeses melded with spicy, creamy, and tangy flavors.

Broccoli Mac and Cheese with Bacon and Potato Nugget Topping

Rating: 4 stars 33
I was feeling adventurous one day and wanted to try a non ooey and gooey kind of mac and cheese. This dish bakes up to be light and airy. Good way to add some veggies for the picky eaters in your family. You can also make it lower in fat by using skim milk and low fat cheeses. If you're feeling adventurous, there are many other things you could toss in here such as ham-diced and browned, left over sliced chicken, more potato nuggets or more bacon, spinach, or other veggies hanging out in the fridge that need to be used up.
