This is an easy version of the traditional hot dog topping that's served by New York City street vendors.

Quick and easy, it is a great breakfast, you can bake these lovely quiche in the earlier morning, you can also make them in advance and freeze them.

Very tasty. Just enough sauce to carry the creole flavors and meld the different types of protein together. Went a bit overboard by making our own Chorizo and homemade penne pasta. A great Creole recipe from down in New Orleans!

This easy to make quiche is packed with flavor. Feel free to use low-fat ricotta cheese if you want a lighter result, or use some phyllo sheets to replace the pie crust to make a low-carb quiche.

A classic, comforting dish made with tender salmon, crushed crackers, and a hint of dill, baked into a flavorful loaf. Perfect for a simple family meal, served warm with a squeeze of lemon.

This is an easy to make version of real homemade Canadian Bacon. Also known as peameal bacon in Canada. Works wonderfully for peameal on a bun.

From the Castle Restaurant (Olean, NY) (now out of business). A copycat simplified home cook version that's easy to make.

Little Chief smoked salmon brine with soy sauce, brown sugar, white wine, garlic, and Tabasco. Pat dry, form the pellicle, and smoke for sweet-savory deli-style salmon.

One of my variations of the Bisquick "Impossible Pie" type recipe. Quick and easy...great for breakfast, brunch or a light lunch.

This cheesy and tasty sour cream mushroom quiche can be served as a main course or an appetizer.

Cajun shepherd's pie layers spiced beef-pork meatloaf, julienned sautéed vegetables, and creamy mashed potatoes, then broils until golden. Paul Prudhomme's Louisiana spin on the British classic, loaded with cayenne and bell pepper.

I've been making Headquarters Chili since before leaving Philly for Vegas in 1991. I use turkey meat, sometimes over rice, sometimes as Sloppy Joes, sometimes as a Tamale Pie. Traditionally I make it for Presidents' Day, but this year I'm doing it for Super Bowl Sunday. It keeps me off the Vegas Strip that replaces our lost Las Vegas Zoo.

Perfect make ahead breakfast casserole for Christmas morning. Make it ahead the day before and pop in the oven in the morning for a great breakfast that can feed a crowd.

Low-carb spaghetti squash, juicy skinless chicken breast with mushrooms in a flavorful reduction sauce. Seriously yummy way to prepare otherwise boring spaghetti squash.

Make-ahead breakfast casserole that's perfect for Sunday brunch or breakfast. Most breakfast casseroles are huge amounts, this one has been scaled to make just two hearty servings so you can enjoy it anytime.

"This delicious fish is great to serve for lunch or for dinner. The beer batter is just the best!"
