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.

Chicken Wrapped in Bacon with Peaches & Brie
This Chicken Wrapped in Bacon with Peaches & Brie is a great way to use ripe peaches. I have a love-hate feeling about stone fruit. They are on your counter hard as a rock and then they are ripe and go bad very quickly. This recipe works because of the sweetness of the peaches and saltiness of the bacon and then, of course, there is gooey cheese!

Chicken Lombardy
This Chicken Lombardy is juice, cheesy and delicious. I think the only difference between Chicken Lombardy and Chicken Marsala is that this dish has cheese. It does call for Marsala wine, though you can use dry sherry.

White Bean, Hearts of Palm & Artichoke Salad
This White Bean, Hearts of Palm & Artichoke Salad is something I threw together using some of my pantry items. It turned out to be a great combination of things. Use this dressing recipe and with different kinds of beans, cheeses and nuts from your pantry to make your own version. This lasted a few days in the fridge and was great for lunch.

Butternut Squash & Leek Clafoutis
Clafoutis is a baked French dessert of fruit, traditionally cherries, arranged in a buttered dish and covered with a thick flan-like batter. This dessert originated in the Limousin area of France, where batters play an important role. This Butternut Squash and Leek Clafoutis is a savory version. It's simple to make and my husband absolutely loved it and wants me to keep the recipe handy. The problem with me, (and I have many problems!) is that I make so many new things that I forget to make some of our old favorites.
