Classic Baked Macaroni & Cheese
Every Monday, I make Macaroni & Cheese for a school, for 11 years. I can only image how much macaroni I've boiled - 10 lbs per week. I guess you could say that I'm fairly good at it. However, this recipe is NOT the school recipe. That one is done on the stove top and this recipe is baked with breadcrumbs. Let's face it, there is nothing better than mac n' cheese.

Crispy Parmesan Herb Zucchini
Zucchini is such a great side dish for the summer. The zucchini or courgette is a summer squash and very versatile. It can be prepared using a variety of cooking techniques, including steamed, boiled, grilled, stuffed and baked, barbecued, fried, or made into bread. Zucchini is one of the easiest vegetables to grow in temperate climates.

Chicken Enchilada Casserole
This is one of our family's Mexican comfort food recipes. I made it easier by cutting up the tortillas instead of rolling them. I also soften the tortillas in the microwave to avoid frying them in oil.

Cheesy Cauliflower Gratin
Cheesy Cauliflower Gratin - YUM! As you may have guessed, I love cauliflower. I think I have posted about 14 other cauliflower recipes. This one is wonderfully creamy and cheesy. You can also top this with ½ cup freshly grated Parmesan mixed with ¼ cup fresh bread crumbs instead of Saltines.

Southwest Breakfast Strata
I have a house full of relatives and I needed an easy breakfast option. Usually, I would make this with corn tortillas, but I liked the flour tortilla option. I have slightly tweeked this recipe. I made this the night before, which makes it so easy in the morning. All I have to do is stumble to the coffee maker and take it out of the fridge. (actually my husband does the stumbling)

Tuna Melt
This Tuna Melt sandwich is tuna salad and a layer of cheese done under the broiler. It is said that the Tuna Melt was born in 1965 on King Street in Charleston, South Carolina at the Woolworth’s lunch counter. Apparently, there was a bowl of tuna salad on the edge of the griddle shelf and the contents tipped over onto the grilled cheese sandwich being made at the time. I guess the tuna melt is a mistake.
A tuna melt sandwich is tuna salad and a layer of cheese, sometimes grated. The sandwich is then grilled or broiled open-faced until the cheese is melted. I wish I liked tuna, but I made this for my husband, Eric, who loves them. You can also add a slice of tomato, use any kind of bread and any kind of cheese. Our "house" cheese is Tillamook Cheddar.
