Chile Rellenos Soup

Chile Rellenos Soup is a creamy and cheesy soup inspired by the classic Mexican Chile Rellenos. Roasted poblano peppers, cheese, and chicken capture the flavors of the traditional dish in an easier-to-make format. To make it easier, I used rotisserie chicken and topped with with crushed tortilla chips. It's really delicious.

Wild Rice & Chicken Casserole

I used to make this Wild Rice & Chicken Casserole when we were first married for dinner parties.  It was "cheap and cheerful" as we would say.  It features cooked chicken, wild rice (personally, I prefer to use a wild rice blend when making this dish, which does make it cheaper!), mushrooms, pimentos, and a creamy sauce. It's then topped with slivered almonds and baked in the oven until bubbly and golden brown on top.

Judy Hesser’s Oven-Fried Chicken

This Oven-Fried Chicken is a recipe for delicious fried chicken made in the oven, skipping the mess and hassle of deep frying. The chicken is dredged in a seasoned flour mixture and baked in the oven. There's minimal flipping involved, making it a relatively hands-off approach. Despite using minimal butter, the chicken achieves a crispy, flavorful crust.

Parmesan Mushroom Casserole

This Parmesan Mushroom Casserole is absolutely delicious and the best thing is that it can be made ahead and finished off in the oven. The sliced mushrooms are bathed in a creamy sauce, topped with a crispy parmesan breadcrumb mixture. It's a vegetarian side dish that goes well with many main courses. All I can say is YUM, so good!

Tomato Soup

This Tomato Soup is really delicious and so simple to make. The surprise ingredient is Acini di Pepe Pasta, which is a tiny, round pasta that translates to "seeds of pepper" in Italian, though they are much smaller than actual peppercorns. They are classified as pastina, or "little pasta," and are often used in broth-based soups like Italian Wedding Soup.

Chinese Lemon Chicken

Chinese Lemon Chicken is coated in a sweet, savory, and tangy lemon sauce. It's a delicious and refreshing and a nice alternative to the usual sweet and sour chicken. Making Chinese food at home allows you to control the ingredients and adjust the flavors to your taste. It's generally healthier and more economical than takeout.

Benedictine Dip

Our friends Leila and Kevin invited us to their Kentucky Derby party. She served this delicious Benedictine Dip, which was invented by the caterer and restauranteur Jennie Carter Benedict in Louisville around the turn of the 20th century. The dip combines cucumbers, red onions with cream cheese and mayonnaise. Initially, it was a spread for tea sandwiches, and over time, Benedictine spread went beyond sandwiches and became a dip for crackers and crudité.

Firehouse Chili and Cornbread Casserole

I have made this Firehouse Chili and Cornbread Casserole twice in one week due to the rave reviews. I like this dish because the cornbread is baked right on top of the chili, which gives it a nice crust on top.
Cocoa powder (my secret ingredient in all my chilis) adds a rich depth of flavor to chili. Be sure to use unsweetened cocoa powder so it doesn't make the finished dish sweet.

Marcella Hazan’s Rice & Smothered Cabbage Soup

Marcella Hazan's Rice & Smothered Cabbage Soup features slow-cooked cabbage and onions. The sugar in the vegetables caramelize and become tender and sweet. You then add Italian Arborio rice and simmer it longer. Don't let the simplicity of the ingredients fool you. This soup is complex in flavor and satisfyingly comforting
