Chris’ Bay Area Burger
These burgers are the hit of my town. All my friends come over every weekend just for these burgers.
No Yeast Quick Easy Pizza Base
Super quick and tasty!
Three-Ingredient Baked Chicken Breasts
Baked chicken coated in butter and salt is a simple 3-ingredient base for a main course on weeknights or weekend dinners.
Diner Meat Loaf ‘Muffins’
Serve these delicious meatloaf muffins with steamed green beans and roasted potato wedges for an at-home version of a blue-plate special.
Grilled Meat and Potatoes Salad
Tired of the same salads? Take a potato salad and add a juicy sirloin steak and it becomes a main dish. How's that for kicking it up a notch?
Taco-Stuffed Potatoes
The only thing better than potatoes stuffed with meaty taco filling? The looks on their faces when you tell them what's on the menu tonight.
Sausage Brunch Muffins
These were found in a bonus book from Taste of Home's Simple Delicious and thought they sounded very good. The recipe is credited to Beverly Borges of Rockland, MA. The recipe I adapted gave the yield at 24. There were some adjustments made to the original recipe, i.e., the addition of cheese and onions. I baked these in silicone muffin pans and the yield was 18.
Breakfast Pizza
A crust made from crescent roll dough contains favorite breakfast foods like eggs, sausage, and hash browns.
Low Carb Breakfast Balls
I used to live off of these when I was low carbing. They freeze really well. I also occasionally mixed in TVP (texturized vegetable protein) and flax for some extra fiber.
Spiced Pumpkin Chiffon Pie
Celebrate the best of fall flavor with this creamy pumpkin pie. This version of the classic Thanksgiving pie is a fluffier, less dense version of the original, so it's perfect for serving at holiday gatherings when you want a crowd-pleaser.
Peachy-Keen Pita
Combine peaches, salsa and a few other ingredients in pita breads, and enjoy a simple and quick recipe that's perfect to take with you on your next picnic.
Coconut-Cranberry Chews
Nancy Jamison was right when she wrote us that these cookies are addictive. We loved their combination of coconut, cranberries, and orange. In fact, these straightforward, tasty rounds are everything a holiday cookie should be. The mixture will look dry until it comes together as a dough. If it's too crumbly to form into balls, the dough needs to be mixed longer, it should be a smooth, homogeneous mass.
Debdoozie’s Blue Ribbon Chili
Prepared salsa and chili seasoning mix speed preparation of this easy version of chili. Serve over cornbread or with crackers. Add jalapeno peppers for more heat.
Bacon Wrapped Pork Fillets with Roasted Vegetables
This is a lovely pork dinner.
Spicy Honey BBQ Beef Steak Dinner
The three words they long to hear: spicy honey BBQ! Attach those to a beef sirloin steak dinner, and you won't have to call them to the table twice.
Herbed Chicken Parmesan
This lightened version of an Italian favorite loses some of the fat but none of the flavor.
Chipotle Chicken Taco Salad
Serve a zesty chicken taco salad drizzled with a chipotle chile, cumin, and cilantro dressing. The smokiness of the chipotle brings out the rich flavors of the roasted chicken breasts.
Maple-Mustard Glazed Chicken
The tangy-sweet flavor combination of this sauce will work equally well with chicken thighs or pork. Serve with hot cooked rice and steamed haricots verts or a tossed green salad.
Paska Bread
Paska (paskha) is an Eastern European egg bread traditionally made at Easter. It is wonderfully light, with a slightly sweet flavor. Serve with butter or a sweet cheese spread.
My Kentucky Derby Dessert
A richly-flavored single-crust pie has a buttery pecan and chocolate chip filling flavored with bourbon whiskey.
Bailey’s Sundae Coffee Drink
French vanilla ice cream lightly coated with Irish cream liqueur, then bathed in hot brewed coffee. A sweet, creamy coffee treat.
Healthy Rhubarb Cake in a Mug
Serve warm rhubarb cake in 10 minutes or less with this quick and easy recipe for a single-serving microwave mug cake.

I got this recipe while shopping at Sams Club on a day when food demos were taking place. Wow! Quick, easy and yummy for the holidays. A family favorite now. Cook time is chill time.

A shredded chicken soup flavored with garlic, onion powder, salsa, tomatoes, tomato soup, chili powder, corn, beans and sour cream.
