One of the greatest gifts I love to share with my six grandkids is making special recipes just for them. The meatballs inside the rolls are a savory surprise. —Trina Linder-Mobley, Clover, South Carolina
We often have this soup on Sunday afternoons in the winter. It is quick and easy, hearty and filling. Serve it with fresh hot homemade biscuits or fresh bread. Yumm. Real comfort food.
Fresh grape tomatoes and basil with lots of extra-virgin olive oil and grated Parmesan cheese bring the fresh tastes of Italy to this quick pasta dinner.
For a light entree on a summer night, this dish is just the ticket. Salting and draining the zucchini and tomatoes before baking prevents them from releasing excess moisture as they bake, so the gratin stays firm, not soggy.
Cheese and Prosciutto Stuffed Chicken Breasts - an impressive dish for a Sunday night dinner or a Holiday. Delicious chicken rolls with a surprise filling.
What screams summer more than green grass, grilling, berries, hot weather, and clear blue skies (as if we’ve been getting much of that lately)? Pineapples! Yes, the native fruit of Paraguay and Brazil (if you were wondering, it didn’t make its way to Hawaii until the 16th Century).
Crescent rolls and swiss cheese wrapped around a tender chicken breast. This is baked in a thick and creamy soup mixture to perfect it. Similar to chicken and dumplings but all bundled up.
Tender pancakes are filled with minced apple and raisin, and drizzled with apple cider syrup. They're wonderful in the summer or on a cool fall morning. —April Harmon, Greeneville, Tennessee
These chicken spiedies are marinated in a lemon, olive oil and herb marinade, grilled and served over Italian rolls, then drizzled with a delicious garlic sauce. Simple, quick and undeniably delicious.
Edamame makes a hearty addition to this summer staple. If you can't find frozen, shelled edamame (green soybeans), substitute the more traditional lima beans. Serve with a baguette and Neufchâtel cheese.
Spicy sprouts, such as broccoli, arugula, or leek, give sushi rolls a delicate crunch and peppery flavor. A sushi mat makes it easy to wrap the nori and rice tightly around fillings, but it’s not necessary.
This speedy side dish of Baby Potatoes with Tomato-Corn Sauté is complemented by fresh corn kernels, grape tomatoes, fresh cilantro and shaved Parmesan cheese.
