this recipe makes a golden brown loaf with a pleasing onion flavor enhanced by garlic and Italian seasoning. With melted cheddar and Parmesan cheese on top, this bread tastes best when served warm.
I wanted a different side dish one night, so I dressed up my usual scalloped potatoes with bacon, green onion and extra cheese. Microwaving speeds things up, but you can save even more time by preparing it a day early.
An authentic recipe that takes 2 days. Have yours 2-way (served on a big plate of spaghetti); 3-way (add shredded Cheddar cheese); 4-way (add chopped raw onion on top of the cheese); or the big 5-way serving, everything plus a topping of kidney beans.
Prepared in a pressure cooker, kidney beans are cooked with fennel seed and cayenne pepper. This is very good mixed with cubed ham, or in red beans and rice.
Something of a chicken salad casserole, with rice, almonds, celery, and water chestnuts in a mayonnaise dressing. The almond and corn flake topping provides additional crunch. Bake ahead, as this freezes well.
Fresh spring asparagus, spinach, and leeks from the garden are the ideal way to enjoy this hearty soup, but it's great any time of year! Potatoes, rice, and carrots round out this creamy favorite.
