Chicken Piccata
Chicken Piccata is a dish that makes me happy when I am sad. It's just the kind of meal that will make your day better. I would totally classify this as a comfort food because it just IS. But it is also quite elegant and would be beautiful served at any special...
Irish Pub Nachos
Crispy potato slices topped with bacon and cheese...what could be better? These were actually created at Gilligans Bar and Grill in Texas in 1979. Soo...they aren't exactly Irish but they are made with potatoes, so it works. I have no idea if they have caught in in...
Crockpot Chicken Parmesan
There's nothing better than coming home to cozy comfort food in the crockpot. And this one is wonderful. Just dump everything in the crockpot and you're good to go! Place 2 chicken breasts in the crockpot and top with the tomato juice and crushed tomatoes. Add the...
Lemon Bars
My mom, Colleen Mott, made the best treats ever. We would regularly come home from school to be greeted with something wonderful right out of the oven. Often it was fresh bread or chocolate chip cookies. But sometimes she would surprise us with something different....
Neiman Marcus Chicken
Neiman Marcus has created all sorts of wonderful gourmet dishes. This is one of them. It is sooo delicious AND easy to throw together. Mix together... ...yogurt, bacon, sharp cheddar, mayonnaise, garlic, chives, tabasco, diced nuts and salt & pepper. And that's...
Chicken Pasta
This is based on the old Chicken Spaghetti Casserole from back in the day. It was made with cream of mushroom soup and baked in a casserole dish. I really wanted to update it and Corinne had this recipe from her friend Emilie and it's PERFECT! It's so rich and creamy...
Cranberry Orange Bread
Orange + cranberry is one of my very favorite flavor combinations. The smell of this bread baking is HEAVENLY. This bread feels very festive and is great to serve for almost any holiday, but I will tell you there have been many episodes of late-night-baking of this...
Andes Mint Chip Cookies
Years ago, I discovered a bag of Andes mint chips at the grocery store, and on the back of the bag is a great cookie recipe. Every November I start looking for bags of Andes mint chips to stock up on for the holidays. Now I make them ALL year long. If you cannot find...
Swedish Meatballs
We don't often do a "meat & potatoes" meal, but this is a good option for when we are in the mood. In my humble opinion, these are way way better than IKEA meatballs. Making them myself is very worth the effort. Start out by measuring out all the meatball...
Cranberry Cheesecake Pie
Have you been looking for a beautiful, delicious dessert for any wonderful occasion? Well, here it is. This is really special. A buttery cookie crust with a creamy cheesecake topped with a cranberry lemon sauce all bake together into HEAVEN. The original recipe is...
