Absolute Best Ham Salad
My 14 year old said "pretty good" much better than a plain ham sandwich.
Cheesy Ham Casserole
I used my left over smoked ham for this recipe and it came out awesome. I made it exactly has the recipe described and my family actually loved it. I will make it again!
Ham & Cheese Potatoes Au Gratin
Ham and cheese potatoes au gratin with a from-scratch cheddar sauce baked until bubbly. A small-batch casserole sized for two with real homemade bechamel.
Glazed Apple-Stuffed Pork Chops
Stuffed with apples the thick pork chops create an elegant impressive main dish. Topped off with an easy Apple Jelly glaze makes this recipe a winner.
Green Chili Tamale Pie with Cheddar Cornmeal Crust
Green chili tamale pie layers seasoned ground beef and green chiles under a cheddar cornmeal crust that bakes up golden and crusty. Tex-Mex casserole comfort, all in one dish.
Ashkenazic Chicken Soup & Matzo Balls with Fresh Dill
A classic passover Matzah ball soup that simply delicious. No need to be Jewish to enjoy this chicken soup recipe.
Apple Cakes
Apple cakes baked muffin-style with a tender sour cream and ground almond crumb, warm nutmeg, and slices of fresh apple fanned across the top. Dusted with powdered sugar for an easy single-serve dessert.
Tea Biscuits
Fluffy homemade tea biscuits from five pantry staples: flour, baking powder, and shortening cut into a tender dough. Tall, light biscuits ready for butter and jam.
Sweet & Sour Porcupine Meatballs
Sweet and sour porcupine meatballs: ground beef studded with rice that swells into spiky quills as it simmers in a tangy brown-sugar-and-vinegar tomato sauce. Retro comfort food.
Sorrento Lemon Chicken & Potatoes
Sorrento lemon chicken and potatoes, bone-in chicken and crispy russet wedges roasted with oregano, then drenched in a tangy lemon-garlic-parmesan broth and broiled until golden. A zesty Italian dinner.
Creamsicle Cake
If you can't find orange cake mix, use white or golden---just use orange juice in place of the water when preparing the mix, and add 1 tsp. of orange extract/flavoring. To the topping I also add 3/4 tsp. each of vanilla and orange extract. Garnish, if desired, with Mandarin orange segments.
Apple Jelly
Great recipe, measurements worked out perfectly. Used the resulting jelly with Apple stuffed pork chops (linked below). The sweet slightly tart would work great with some spice, perhaps red pepper flakes added for a sweet-spicy kick.
