Baked Cheesy Chicken Bake. Today’s recipe is a cheesy baked pasta that I found over at Our Best Bites . Sara based the recipe on a Martha Stewart recipe. This yummy dish consists of a cheesy pasta blended with chicken, sun-dried tomatoes, and mushrooms. Now I know the sun-dried tomatoes aren’t something most of you probably keep on had, so you could just leave them out if you like. Baked Creamy Chicken Taquitos. Broccoli Cheddar Soup. Comfort in a bowl.
That is what this soup should be called. As Sugarcrafter, where I got the recipe, stated, I love the broccoli cheedar soup at Panera Bread. Not surprisingly, this soup was even better! Since I was craving this soup, I made it as soon as I saw it in a bread bowl. Since I didn’t have a batch of bread dough sitting in the refrigerator and was very hungry, I just poured this soup in a bowl.
There was one missing step in the recipe on her site (adding in the garlic), so I added it in the recipe below. *Update* I made a bread bowl today for the leftovers of this delicious soup. Broccoli Cheddar Soupadapted from Sugarcrafter Sauté the onion (and garlic) in the butter over medium heat. Cheesecake Stuffed Strawberries.
Chicken and Cheese Lasagna Roll-Ups. Crispy Parmesan Asparagus Sticks. Who would have ever thought I would get excited about seeing something green on sale in the grocery store?
Not me. But that’s what happened when I walked by these super thin asparagus spears. How often do I find thin asparagus that doesn’t look half dead and is on sale? Rarely. And I sort of like asparagus. The whole upchucking thing usually doesn’t happen until the third of fourth spear. But I figured I could possibly prevent that mess if I coated these in something crispy and cheesy. These were so incredibly easy to make and tasted delicious – kind of like little asparagus “fries.” I also think that these will taste even better with thicker asparagus spears.

Easy Parmesan Knots. Italian Roasted Cauliflower Salad. As we head into the weekend, I thought we’d explore Southern Italy a bit more as part of my Culinary Staycation series.
Last week, we dined on a simple Tuna Salad Caprese on the gorgeous island of Capri. Today, we’ll travel south to the tippy-toe of the Italian boot, to the region known as Calabria.

Bring to a boil over medium-high heat, and reduce to a simmer. Oven Roasted Potatoes. When I heard this month’s Kitchen Bootcamp Challenge was potatoes, I was pumped.
Originally, I had great plans for the sweet potatoes still in my basement from last fall, but after researching and chatting with the hubby, I decided to go with Yukon Gold potatoes instead. My husband isn’t a huge fan of sweet potatoes and I wanted to make something he would enjoy too, so that’s how I settled on this oven roasted potato recipe. Yukon Golds are our favorite potato to grow in the garden and they absolutely melt in your mouth when freshly dug from the garden. Potato and Cheese Pierogi. Pierogi are traditional Polish noodle dumplings, filled with a variety of classic sweet and savory mixtures.
For this recipe, we've chosen to make a basic potato-cheese filling and serve them as a side dish topped with sour cream, garlic and chive sauce. Our family recipe, combined with a fairly standard dough preparation method, produces an exceptionally light and tender finished product. The secret? Pinching off portions of dough and rolling them individually to avoid overworking it. Spinach Soufflé. After years of living on the West Coast, I came to the conclusion that we have three choices when the rain doesn’t stop.
Stuffed Zucchini. I like the simple things in life.
Summer Roasted Vegetables. I love vegetables; grilled, roasted, sauteed or raw. These Summer Roasted Vegetables are just another way to enjoy the produce of the season.
