Basic Chicken Salad
This is a family favorite. I like to use baked thighs or breasts that have been sprinkled with basil or rosemary.
Baked Denver Omelet
My family loves omelets, and this is a quick and easy one. These directions are for a Denver omelet, but experiment with other ingredients to make your favorite.
Grilled Corn on the Cob
This is an easy method for grilling corn on the cob. The corn will be very tasty and tender.
Sarah's Applesauce
This applesauce is delicious! I make it for my younger brother all the time and he loves it - and he hates canned applesauce!
Chef John's Italian Meatballs
Homemade meatballs are a very easy to make, and since we skip the very messy step of pan-frying these before they hit the sauce, it becomes downright simple. Here I use a standard half-beef/half-pork mixture. You can substitute water or beef broth for the milk, if preferred.
Key Lime Pie VII
This recipe uses condensed milk and sour cream. Fabulously easy. . . a summertime favorite! If you have time, a homemade graham cracker crust is better! Garnish with whipped cream and thin slices of lime if you like.
Roasted Pork Loin
Succulent pork roast with fragrant garlic, rosemary and wine.
Slow Cooker Beef Stew I
A hearty, savory slow cooker stew with potatoes, carrots, celery, broth, herbs and spices. You won't be slow to say 'yum'!
Ultimate Twice Baked Potatoes
I made these up years ago and have been making them ever since. They are always a big hit. These potatoes make a wonderful side dish for any meal and are terrific heated up the next day for lunch.
Chicken Cordon Bleu I
This entree is easy and delicious! It's one of my husband's favorites! Try to use the largest chicken breasts you can find so you'll be able to roll them easier.
Cream Corn Like No Other
This is NOTHING like canned creamed corn! My husband is not a fan of corn or creamed dishes, but he thinks this is great. Easy and quick to prepare and is an especially delicious side dish for chicken or pork. Everyone always asks for the recipe.
Roasted Brussels Sprouts
This recipe is from my mother. It may sound strange, but these are really good and very easy to make. The Brussels sprouts should be brown with a bit of black on the outside when done. Any leftovers can be reheated or even just eaten cold from the fridge. I don't know how, but they taste sweet and salty at the same time!
Garlic Aioli
This is a great recipe that I found in another user's comments but nowhere else on the site. Enjoy! We use this as a dip for crab cakes or as a spread on sandwiches.
Corn Dogs
I made up this recipe many years ago, because I loved the corn dogs you buy at carnivals but could not find a recipe for them. Great served with mustard.
Mom's Buttermilk Pancakes
These pancakes are passed down from my grandmother, who was fully Scandinavian. They are light and fluffy, and great with berry syrups. I have made these for years as a special treat, and I hope you enjoy them as much as my family has.
Skillet-Braised Brussels Sprouts
Brussels sprouts with bacon and garlic are skillet-braised until tender and delicious.
Basic Biscuits
This is a basic biscuit recipe with baking powder used as the leavening. They're easy to make and go with almost any meal.
Chef John's Stuffed Peppers
This recipe's roots can be traced back to the Great Depression, when farmers first began selling the unripe peppers out of necessity. Of course, we did what Americans always do when faced with a new variety of food, we stuffed meat in it.
Actually Delicious Turkey Burgers
This is a simple and delicious recipe. After making them the first time my husband said 'no more' to beef burgers. These are really good - any cooking method may be used, and they freeze very well. The recipe can also be used for meatballs or meat loaves.
Quick and Easy Chicken Noodle Soup
When you don't have time to make your soup totally from scratch, this is a very easy, very good substitute.
Mouth-Watering Stuffed Mushrooms
These delicious mushrooms taste just like restaurant-style stuffed mushrooms and are my guy's absolute favorite.
Churros
These Mexican fritters are very common at fairs. In my border hometown, the line at this stand is always overwhelming. People wait hours in line just to get a taste of these churros. I have run across several recipes but this is the best one by far.
Monkey Bread I
Refrigerated biscuits with cinnamon bake in a tube pan. My 7 year old daughter, Leah, loves her Monkey Bread. Enjoy!
Strawberry Jam
This is by far the easiest recipe I have found for strawberry jam without using a pectin. The jam is soft, spreadable and delicious.
