Cheesy Brussels Sprout and Bacon Bake

I saw this Cheesy Brussels Sprout and Bacon Bake on Diane Morrisey's Instagram account and she dared anyone to make it and not take a bite right out of the pan. Well, she was right, I did do just that. This is just a great combination all done in one pan. I dare you to make it!

Welsh Rarebit

My husband, Eric, made lunch. Instead of making grilled cheese, he made Welsh Rarebit. A dish from Wales made with old cheese melted on toasted bread. Often called Welsh rabbit because it is thought the people of Wales were too poor to eat meat. The following recipe is from the legendary late Cock n' Bull restaurant on Sunset Boulevard in Hollywood. I miss going there! By the way, The Cock n' Bull invented the Moscow Mule Cocktail. Another great place to have Welsh Rarebit is at Fortnum & Mason in London, though Eric’s is just perfect!

Chicken Bacon Ranch Casserole with Broccoli

This Chicken Bacon Ranch Casserole with Broccoli is a family-friendly meal. I have to say, it's my new favorite casserole. The combination of chicken, bacon, pasta ranch dressing and cheese is delicious.

Brussels Sprouts and Bacon Flatbread

I made this quick Brussels Sprouts and Bacon Flatbread last night. I used store-bought naan, but you can use any type of flatbread. You can use crumbled goat cheese, blue cheese or feta cheese and it can be made about 20 minutes ahead and then popped in the oven before serving.

Scrambled Eggs with Tomato & Cheese in the Microwave

My brother David called me and said he couldn't find his recipe for Scrambled Eggs with Tomato & Cheese in the Microwave. To be honest, I had never heard of it but, with one eyebrow raised, I managed to find the recipe he likes. It's from Martha Stewart. Who knew she would ever stoop to so low to use a microwave! Here is the beauty of this, you make it, cook it and eat it all in the same little bowl or cup. I think this would be a great way for all the frazzled parents to make breakfast for their kids in the morning before online school. I realize you might have to replace the tomatoes for some cooked bacon or sausage!

Creamed Corn-Stuffed Peppers with Pickled Jalapeño

This Creamed Corn-Stuffed Peppers with Pickled Jalapeño recipe is from Yotam Ottolenghi that was published in The Guardian. The creamy corn polenta stuffing is wonderfully satisfying and works really well in peppers. You can use any type of pepper that you like. Serve it with a mixed green salad for dinner tonight!

Bacon Wrapped Pickle and Cheese Stuffed Hot Dogs

I know this Bacon Wrapped Pickle and Cheese Stuffed Hot Dog is a tad over the top! My husband likes anything that involves pickles, so I decided to make it for him. You can grill it or cook it in the oven. If you ditch the bun you have a Keto-friendly meal.

Pizza Spaghetti

This Pizza Spaghetti is my new favorite casserole. If you have kids, this is a must-try. You can add your favorite toppings to the "noodle crust" to make it your own. The next day I reheated it in a cast-iron skillet for lunch. It's so good, I want to make it again, but I probably should wait at least a week!

Burrito Pie

Here's another socially distant dinner I made in my Instant Pot on my Dad's porch. You can also make this layered  Burrito Pie in the oven. It's everything in a burrito - meat, refried beans and cheese that are stacked up with tomatoes and baked.
