My Favorite Holiday Side Dish!

If you are anything like me you have probably never even entertained the thought of eating artichokes.

I mean, I’ve had them pickled before and in hot dips but never have I ever an entire dish from artichokes… until now. Folks, this recipe is seriously amazing. You take a can of artichokes, prepare according to the recipe directions which can be found on the next page, and bake to perfection. What comes out of the oven is a heavenly dish that tastes like a dream come true. Who knew?

I really like making these Parmesan baked artichokes as a side dish when company is visiting. The presentation of the food looks amazing. Everyone is always impressed when I bring out this dish. And we all love that incredible, gooey cheese, don’t we?

So, g’head, try something new and exciting and bake up your own batch of these savory artichokes. Enjoy!

Attention, Please! This Baked Pasta Is What You Need In Your Life!

Some of my favorite meals are Italian.  I will eat just about anything that is pasta layered in gooey melted cheese.

Add in just about any type of sauce (I’ll pass on the spicy ones, though) and I’m in total heaven.  This dish right here is the perfect Italian flavors combined into one and makes for a completely impressive dinner. My husband and kids absolutely loved this recipe. In fact, they just couldn’t get enough of it. This baked rigatoni is a real keeper!

This meal here is completely amazing.  You take rigatoni pasta (already boiled to al dente) and then stacked on their ends in a round pan. After that, you take a delicious meat sauce and layer it so it falls through the little rigatoni and covers the top end.  Then, you layer that in cheese and bake it til it’s ooey and gooey over the top.  Simply the best.

If you’d like to get a feel of an authentic Italian meal, then this recipe is made for you. It is just as perfect for busy weeknights as it is for special occasions – this is actually my husband’s choice every time I ask him what he would like me to make for date night!

These Are So Easy To Put Together!

My friend and I made these rolls last week for our church potluck. Neither of us had ever tried Hawaiian sweet rolls before, and the ingredient list made our eyes roll (pun intended!)

We thought it seemed a little crazy to add something we had been used to adding to desserts and cakes – however, my aunt had specifically told me this was the best recipe she had ever tried in her whole life. Since my aunt is the crazy bake lady and she makes the most delicious things from scratch, my friend and I simply had to trust her.

We added all the ingredients and carefully followed the instructions (which were super easy, by the way). The rolls came out so yummy! These Hawaiian sweet rolls are the perfect addition to any holiday table. Your friends and family are going to assume that you bought these rolls from the store because they are so ding dang good! I would highly recommend making a double batch – I guarantee they will be gone before you know it!

Family-Tested And Approved!

I rarely eat fish for dinner, which is a shame. I know you should eat fish a couple of times a week because of the health benefits; it’s lean, rich in protein and the fattiest fish have all the good fats and acids. And I happen to like all kinds of fish very much!

So, why is it that I rarely eat it, then? It’s because I’m lazy. Or maybe I should say worried. I’m worried that it’s somehow really difficult to cook fish so that it becomes flavorful and moist instead of dry and tasteless.

But this recipe turned my world upside down! I’ve never made fish in such a simple way – and it turned out so perfectly, I doubt I’ll ever make fish any other way again! The lemon gives the fish such a wonderful, fresh flavor. The best part is that you can use whatever fish you please – this recipe works well with any of them.

Quick Tip: You can use the same method for grilling the fish instead of baking it in the oven.

Love, Love, LOVE This Soup!

Here up North we are starting to feel the weather change for the colder. Most people say they wouldn’t want the summer to end, but this is my favorite time of year. I love the colder months – the weather gives me a great excuse to cook all of my favorite soups and stews. Not that I can’t make them year round, but I do think fall and winter make these particular meals taste extra delicious!

I’m glad that my whole family enjoys these kind of recipes; we’re having soup about three times a week now! I’ve collected a bunch of super delicious recipes over the years and this vegetable soup is one of them. I like to make a double batch of this – it keeps well in the fridge for a few days (in my opinion, it only gets better) and everyone is going for seconds, anyway!

I’ve tried several veggie soup recipes in the past but the combination of these vegetables is just perfect, if you ask me. The soup is flavorful without any meat at all, but of course you could add some if you’d like. I bet this would taste amazing with some chicken in it, too.

In Less Than 30 Minutes, You Could Be Stuffing Your Face With This Mouth-Watering Meal

When it comes to weeknight meals, the quicker and easier I can make them, the better. With all the hassle going on in our lives; school, work, hobbies and voluntary work, there’s no way I can stand by the stove for two hours every single day of the week.

Don’t get me wrong – I enjoy cooking a hearty meal for my family, but it’s just not a very realistic idea to try and do something like that every weeknight! Weekends are a whole different deal. That’s when we all gather together to cook and eat, and I don’t care how much time I spend in the kitchen then.

But on weeknights I enjoy recipes like this one here! A delicious, savory chowder with basic ingredients you can almost always find in your pantry. In half an hour you’ll be serving your family this wonderful comfort food, and you can only dream of having leftovers!

Put Your Slow Cooker To Good Use And Make The BEST Soup Of The Season

Here’s the greatest chicken soup recipe on the face of the Earth, if you ask me! It’s not your usual chicken noodle soup, quickly made of chicken strips and frozen veggies. There’s nothing wrong with those, of course, but once you’ve tried this you know there is no going back to your old recipe!

The secret is to use fresh vegetables, a whole chicken, and to let everything cook together slowly in your crock pot. You might think it takes a lot of work to make this but you’re wrong. After you’ve chopped the veggies and seasoned the chicken, you can literally forget the whole thing until it’s dinnertime!

I often put this together in the morning before leaving for work and when I return, the whole house smells amazing! How all the flavors come together in the slow cooker is something unbelievable – and you know, this is one of those dishes that only gets better after a day or two in the fridge! This really is the comfort food of all comfort foods.
