Another family favorite that is always made for any gathering! Even though my sisters, brother and I love to cook, we still like to make our favorite comfort foods. This serves a lot and can be made the...
Ever since I found out ground beef was public enemy #1 for my digestive system, I had to reinvent recipes I've loved since I was a kid. I have Irritable Bowel Syndrome (for more info you can check out...
This was one of those serendipitous happenings that continue to amaze/amuse me. My DS called me on a Wednesday evening around suppertime to ask if it would be alright to come visit for the weekend, bringing...
I remember this as being the de facto side dish, with a salad, to any lamb dish I had growing up, in my Greek grandparents' house. I make it quite often, and have never had a recipe, so beware, the measurements...
Fresh from scratch Alfredo sauce with Chicken and Broccoli served over angel hair pasta. This creamy recipe is different from the jarred sauce and not the same as restaurant style which tends to be a little...
I was going to make spaghetti pie but I didn't have any ricotta or cottage cheese so I tweeked it and came up with this. My son and BF loved it! The measurements are approximate since I don't really use...
A friend of mine brought some of this into work for me to try and I had to get the recipe. It's delicious! I submitted this exactly how it was given to me. I used thin spaghetti (my preference), melted...
I found this recipe at allrecipes.com and have made it a few times. It is a very elegant dish in presentation and combines two side dishes into one. Give it a try.
The best sauce I have ever had, leftovers were even better. My husband made this for me when I was recovering from kidney surgery, talk about some comfort food! He got it off the Food Network website....
An old italian showed me this, don't know if it's true sicilian, but it sure is easy and good if you like anchovies. This is how he cooked it, I love this version just as it is.
This is a favorite dish of mine for leftover ham. I like to use a mix of parmesan and white cheddar or you can use a monterey jack cheese if you prefer that, but it is just creamy and comforting. I love...
A quick and nice comfort food dish back from my university days. Exactly 5 ingredients! Well, the basic "student" version, which is actually really good and filling :). Feel free to add garlic, a dash...
I love this recipe for potlucks or to make ahead for that trip to the cottage. It has a wonderful blend of flavors. The recipe came from Taste Of home. A real winner
Cooking vegan for my favorite meat eater is quite an enormous challenge for me sometimes. I noticed that Lauren had ordered spaghetti bolognese the last couple times we were in Italian restaurants. This...
1 Scoop of this salad, 2 scoops of cooked rice, your favorite island style meat, add a little humidity and some authentic Hawaiian music and you just might feel like you are there. I created this salad...
This is the spaghetti sauce I grew up eating. While we are not considered Cajun, my father's family does have a Cajun backgroud. The measurements in this recipe are pretty much estimates, because seasoning...
This is a wonderful change from your everyday spaghetti and meatballs, I make this with my recipe#71273 *and* recipe#69173 but of coarse you may use your own favorite meatball and pasta sauce or use two...
This is a recipe that I just made up one day for my husband who had just had a lond day at work, and was craving something italian. It turned out great, and we have sense made this recipe two times.
I got this recipe from a college friend who grew up right outside of Cincinnati. The original recipe calls for twice as much ground beef and no beans, but I prefer the combination. This chili has an interesting...
This is really YUMMY and healthy too! You can also play with this recipe and add some sweet bell peppers, spicy crushed red pepper flakes or shredded cheese.
This is a really easy recipe, using mostly ingredients that you probaly already have. Takes only about 5 minutes to cook! You can also add any fresh, canned, or frozen veggies that you would like, such...
Taken from Brown's _Good Eats_ episode "American Classics: Spaghetti with Meat Sauce." He insists on freshly ground meat from whole cuts, so you know exactly what you're getting; he has the butcher grind...
This is a very Nasty dish, courtesy of Mario Batali via "Food &Vodka" magazine. He uses two kinds of cheese which are both combination cheeses. So I guess this is a four cheese dish!
From Mark Bittman's "Quick and Easy Recipes" from the New York Times. The pasta takes on a fruity acidity from the reduced wine--smoothed by the last-minute addition of butter--and a beautiful mahogany...
Here you can use either thin spaghetti or Angel hair pasta into Chinese noodles. Great for Lo Mein or noodle soup. My Japanese friend who lives in Germany taught me this technique.
This is, by far, one of the best "light" recipes I have come across in all the years I have been cooking....I found this way back in the "80's and am still using this favorite. This extremely versatile...
This is another fantastic recipe from The Essential Pasta Cookbook. I have altered it only slightly from the original. It's one of my favourites, and another of those recipes that looks really impressive...
This is an amazingly simple but satisfying recipe....It is a yummy garlicky creamy sauce with shrimp and just that little bit of "kick" in the back of your throat to spice things up!! Came from my best...
This casserole is so yummy, with the addition of all that cheese....how could you go wrong!(note: plan ahead, this casserole needs to sit in the fridge for a couple of hours, or overnight)
A great hit at any gathering. Contain yourself, you'll want to eat the whole loaf. You'll need to plan ahead just a bit. This recipe calls for a thawed loaf of Rhodes bread dough & it takes 6-8 hours for...
A different way to cook spaghetti. The homemade BBQ sauce is delicious, but I suppose in a pinch you could use any pre-made sauce. From Down Home with the Neelys on Food Network (what would we do without...
