Prep time - 10 minutes / Cook time - 20 minutes This recipe was originally a Rachel Ray creation, heavily modified over the years in an attempt to make home made chicken tenders for picky toddlers. Now it is the second most requested chicken dinner on a weeknight. Only my chicken Parmesan [...]
There is a good reason for the question mark in the title of this recipe. There isn't much soup in this soup! It definitely started out as a soup, but over the years I removed more and more of the liquid. The end result is not really soup anymore, but it is one of [...]
Chopped beef and gravy has been a Pannucci family staple since I can remember. The name is a little misleading, as the "chopped beef" in this recipe is only one part of the final dish. In our house, this meal is really a combination of my "secret ingredient" mashed potatoes, the "chopped beef" and [...]
This is a great meaty weeknight pasta sauce courtesy of my great Aunt Gerri. If you use a spicy pepperoni or Italian sausage the leftovers will have a bit of kick. Prep time - 15 minutes / Cook time - 40 minutes 1 28 ounce can of pureed [...]
This isn't just one of my favorite soups, it's one of my favorite smells. The onions, celery and carrots when they go into the pot, combined with the chicken broth and herbs fills the house with a scent unlike any other. As an added bonus, it's a great meal that makes an easy "send with [...]
This is definitely a cool weather food and my family usually requests it as soon as the weather changes. And they keep asking for it all winter. Not a fan of processed food, but Velveeta is the key ingredient in this one and the soup would not be the same without it. Add a [...]
When I find something that I enjoy eating, sort of like the arugula salad, I tend to have it often. For the first two weeks of January I have been having soup for lunch, mostly from the little cafe near my office. Nothing special, but warm and easy. I decided to try my hand at [...]
Mac and cheese is heaven in a bowl to me, except when it comes out of a box and involves powder. I have been in search of the combination that makes you close your eyes and sigh when you take a bite. Last winter I finally found the cheese that would change everything — Prairie Breeze aged [...]
Slow cooked beef, cheese, tomato sauce, cilantro, corn tortillas all adds up to warm gooey goodness. If there are any enchiladas leftover, they make a great lunch the next day. The last time I made these I went a bit crazy buying the meat and ended up with a few extra cups of the [...]
Macaroni and meatballs (or Sunday gravy) has always been an important meal to me. Growing up, this was a familiar dinner shared with friends or family on Sunday. When I sat down to write this out I realized my recipe is quite different from my Aunt Gerri's, which is in our family cookbook and [...]
