Green Chili Artichoke Dip
This is a delicious classic artichoke dip. You could always get more creative and add in other veggies or spices.
Texas Barbeque Sauce
This sauce is a zinger!! It’s got a good amount of tanginess to it, but with a good balance of sweet and spice. You won’t be disappointed!
Spaghetti Pie
This was an interesting and fun dish!! It’s a cross between a deconstructed spaghetti and lasagna. The original recipe was from 1974 so there were some modern tweaks I’ve made. It called for cottage cheese, but I decided that ricotta would be a great substitute. So you can make the call on which you prefer. Either way it’s delicious!!
Chocolate Maple Walnut Praline
I’m not much of a baker or a sweets person, so I was a bit intimidated by this recipe. It actually turned out to be super easy! And boy if you likes sweets this is the treat for you!
Barley Casserole
I had never heard of a casserole like this before so I left the recipe as is. It was very different than I expected, but it was a good side dish.
Don’t Peek California Beef Stew
This is a delicious, stick to your ribs stew that would be perfect on a cold winter night! This recipe was very simple. I wanted to jazz it up, so I added fresh ingredients. I also wanted to make sure it wasn’t too rich, so I added carrots for the contrast. Still a very easy preparation and cook. Hope you enjoy!
Southern Fried Hot Chicken
Everyone loves fried chicken, but sometimes we want something a little different. It seems like everywhere you turn today someone is doing their own version of hot chicken. I felt it was my turn to take a stab at it! This recipe has the crispy, delicious fry that you love, but with a big kick!! Note: If you don’t have a fryer you can use a pan to fry this chicken. Make sure you have enough oil for your specific fryer or to fill the pan just 1/3 full so you avoid splatter and burning yourself.
