Anything Italian!
Mock Chop Suey
In spite of the fact that legend says this recipe was created by Chinese immigrants in San Fransisco, it is not truly Chinese. Rather I think it is a great example of the good 'ole American standby skillet supper or casserole. It's tasty and super-easy to make. I like to serve it with a simple garden salad with creamy Italian dressing (something about that flavor combination!).
Sweet-n-Sour Lil' Smokies
These fantastic sweet and sour little sausages are a tradition in our family and no holiday is complete without them. They are also great for potlucks and office parties...take them and watch them disappear! I guarantee you will get asked for this recipe!
Lazy Way Vegetable Soup
This super-fast, delicious vegetable soup is a snap to make even after a long day at work, chasing after your kids, errands, etc. Serve it with rolls or crusty bread, butter and fruit preserves and dinner is done!
Egg Casserole
This deliciously different casserole is perfect for weekday breakfast or Sunday brunch, and it’s so easy to put together. You can assemble it ahead and bake it the “day of”, or you can bake and freeze it, then reheat when you want to serve (please thaw overnight in the fridge).
Simple Skillet Supper
This simple and inexpensive dish is a stove-top dream for busy cooks. With almost no prep and a cook-time of just 20 minutes, this simple skillet supper is the perfect way to get a hot meal on the table for your family on even the busiest night.
