This GLORIOUS dish (see what I did there?) is based on a Betty Crocker from back in the day and let me just say...it is AMAZING! Seriously SO GOOD! This is a recipe you should keep forever and always serve to your favorite guests. Start by breading the chicken pieces...

Baked Pasta with Sausage and Ricotta

Baked Pasta with Sausage and Ricotta

This pasta is a favorite of mine. Comfort food at it's BEST. A perfect mix of pasta, sausage, a richly seasoned tomato sauce and cheese, CHEESE, CHEESE! Every bite is a piece of heaven. I like to use a fun squiggly-shaped pasta but use anything you want! Start by...

Chicken Nacho Casserole

Chicken Nacho Casserole

Dinner time or party food...this works for either. It can be served as a warm, hearty casserole or as a fabulous party dip. Either way it is SO GOOD! I like to use rotisserie chicken and just shred and cut it up. Or use any leftover cooked chicken. I chop it up fairly...

Black Bean and Turkey Tostadas

This meal has been a family favorite for more than a decade. I started making it when my house was full of little kids. These are basically open-faced tacos, and we LOVE tacos! My little cutie, who is now 22 years old, eating a black bean tostada way back in 2011....

Orange Chocolate Chip Cookies

Orange Chocolate Chip Cookies

I started making these cookies about 15 years ago. I cannot remember where I got the recipe from. BUT we LOVE them! Especially my son Max, who is now 19. He's been away from home for almost 2 years straight. At Christmas time I asked him what cookies he wanted shipped...

Santa Fe Chicken Hot Dish

Santa Fe Chicken Hot Dish

This is my GO-TO dish that I take to friends and family when they are sick or are in need in some way. It's easy to double and make a dish of it for my family at the same time. I LOVE meals like this that have everything a balanced plate needs in one dish. No side...
