Fresh picks from the kitchen, ready to cook.
Side DishesParmesan-roasted cauliflower is my favorite side dish to pair with dinner. Cauliflower florets are coated with Parmesan cheese and panko and flavored with garlic, freshly ground black pepper, and parsley. Bake at 425°F. Browning and crisping of the cheese occurs around the edges of cauliflower florets, while the cauliflower inside remains tender.
DinnerChicken Alfredo is a dish I make when I want a fast pasta dish in about 30 minutes with fettuccine and sliced chicken in a Parmesan garlic cream sauce, plus a small amount of nutmeg in the dish; I always include nutmeg in small amounts in the dish.
LunchFrench bread pizza takes 25 minutes to get dinner on the table and feed four people with one 18-inch baguette. Bread slices should be prebaked before adding sauce. Broil the pizzas until the mozzarella cheese melts and the pepperoni starts to curl (my favorite part).
Side DishesI make honey butter corn in a skillet as a quick side dish for dinner. I sauté corn kernels in a cast-iron skillet until browned, then add honey and butter and top with black pepper and parsley. It can be made in about 15 minutes. The best thing about this recipe is the eating part.
Snacks & AppetizersChocolate chip bear cookies are a simple baking recipe for a decorated holiday cookie that you can make on the weekend without extra icing and other decorations. I use a non-spreading cookie dough recipe to shape bear cookies with round heads, tiny snouts, and ears, with mini chocolate chips for the face. The cookies are soft and chewy and decorated with chocolate chips.
DessertsI prepare this Christmas Tree Cake trifle as a dessert for holiday guests. Slices of soft vanilla Christmas Tree Cake and green vanilla pudding are layered with whipped topping in a clear serving dish for presentation to holiday guests. I enjoy serving a no-bake dessert that guests can see before eating.
DinnerChicken and cheddar noodle casserole is a popular choice for feeding eight people with minimal other side dishes. Shredded chicken and egg noodles are mixed with cheddar sauce and baked with panko crumbs on top to give a crispy, golden-browned edge (a delicious treat).
Snacks & AppetizersCheese sauce for fries is a topping I offer with fries for weeknight home meals if I want to offer more toppings than ketchup. It includes butter and flour as a roux, whole milk, and sharp cheddar cheese served with fries, nachos, baked potatoes, and other foods.
Snacks & AppetizersI make salted caramel fudge balls as a gift or tray item. These fudge balls contain caramel mixed throughout a semi-sweet chocolate fudge and toped with sea salt. These fudge balls are cooked on the stovetop and chilled for several hours, my favorite way to make candy.
Snacks & AppetizersBoat dip is one of my favorite dishes to serve at parties or other events where I'll be serving a lot of chips. Boat dip is simple and quick to make, 10 minutes to put together, with sour cream, cream cheese, taco seasoning, well-drained tomatoes and green chiles, and other Mexican cheeses. Fans of spicy and mild flavors enjoy boat dip with chips.
