A nice change from my usual meatloaf. Wild rice was a great addition, and the meatloaf was moist and very tasty thanks for the cheddar cheese. Will be making this again.

Rich cheese soup loaded with sharp aged cheddar, tender vegetables, and optional ham. Creamy Wisconsin-style soup with carrots, celery, mushrooms, and spicy kick.

Green beans, carrots, and potatoes simmered in a spicy berbere and niter kebbeh sauce with tomatoes. This hearty Ethiopian vegetable w'et is vegetarian comfort food meant for scooping with injera.

Classic Italian ziti tossed with tender steamed broccoli in a warm garlic, olive oil, and butter sauce finished with freshly grated Parmigiano-Reggiano. Simple, satisfying, and on the table in 45 minutes.

Ground beef packs with frozen corn, diced green chiles, shredded Monterey Jack, and picante sauce for a Southwestern-spiced meatloaf that's anything but boring. Black olives and cayenne kick up the heat.

Whole wheat herb bread with cottage cheese, scallions, dill, and V8 juice: soft yeast loaves enriched with eggs, kneaded until elastic, and baked until golden hollow-sounding.

Crustless artichoke cheddar quiche bound with eggs and yogurt instead of cream, with breadcrumbs adding structure. A lighter, flourless quiche that bakes in 30 minutes.

Zuppa di asparagi is a rustic Italian asparagus soup thickened the old way: beaten eggs and Parmigiano stirred into garlicky broth, then ladled over toasted Italian bread. Stracciatella technique meets spring vegetables.

Babysitter's Spaghetti Casserole is a no-fuss baked pasta with ground beef, tomatoes, onions, celery, green pepper, and a sneaky crumble of blue cheese under a Parmesan crust. Weeknight comfort in 40 minutes.
