Broccoli Cheddar Quiche

Broccoli Cheddar Quiche

Yesterday, my daughter, Grace, cleaned out the freezer, cleaned the stove, the pantry, etc. She also made dinner - Caprese Salad, Broccoli Cheddar Quiche, and Brownies. I was told on several occasions to vacate the kitchen! I could get used to this!

Creamy Chicken Spaghetti Casserole

Got this recipe from the Pioneer Woman. I've been needing a little comfort food. This fits the bill - creamy and delicious. I bought chicken that was already cut up. You could even use a rotisserie chicken.

Provençal Vegetable Gratin

Here is one way to use up some of your summer vegetable harvest. I actually did not place the sliced vegetables in compact upright rows due to the fact the tomatoes, zucchini and squash were all different sizes. I just cut them up and stirred it all together. You can do it either way, it all tasted the same!

Sour Cream Noodle Bake

Sour Cream Noodle Bake

My friend, Chris, dropped this casserole off for me with some of her home grown tomatoes and peppers. It couldn't have come at a better time. We are putting in a new kitchen and everything was torn out. Also, I was having my last chemo treatment! Yay!

Johnny Marzetti Casserole

I love recipes with a story. I have to say I have never heard of this casserole recipe. The dish originated in Columbus, Ohio, at Marzetti's, an Italian restaurant established in 1896 on Broad St. by an Italian immigrant named Teresa Marzetti. One of the dishes Marzetti offered her customers was a baked casserole of ground beef, cheddar cheese, tomato sauce, and noodles that she named for her brother-in-law Johnny. It was very popular during WWII. The original restaurant closed in 1942, but a second location, opened in 1919 remained in operation until Teresa Marzetti died in 1972. She was also popular for her salad dressings, which you can still buy today. This recipe is very similar to Sour Cream Noodle Bake that I posted recently, minus the sour cream.

Lobster Tails with Citrus Shallot Butter Sauce

My daughter, Grace, who survives almost only on plain pasta, asked me to make lobster. Of course, I immediately went out and found these lobster tails, on sale as well. The most amazing part is the Citrus Shallot Butter Sauce. My husband was drinking it at one point! You wouldn't want to eat this every day, but it's perfect for special occasion.

Eggplant Pizzas

My husband and I had this at a local French restaurant. What a fantastic appetizer! I could have eaten several plates of it. I took this dreadful picture at the restaurant. The chef came out of the kitchen and was watching me. I told him I was in love with his wonderful eggplant pizza. This recipe is loosely based Julie Child’s version.
