This delicious change-of pace is a Greek variation based on Stuffed Chicken Breasts with Italian Cheeses and Artichokes, which I really enjoyed for flavor and ease of preparation. The Greek version is just as tasty but totally different, with the spinach, onions and feta blending perfectly together, complimenting the chicken flavor, and keeping it very [...]

This macaroni and cheese recipe tastes very rich, one of the best mac ‘n cheese dishes I’ve ever had, although I must admit that 95% of my mac and cheese experience is from those familiar blue boxes. The kids have always loved the boxed stuff, it’s always on sale, and it’s always easy, so the [...]

One member of the family who shall remain nameless thought it was “too spicy” but those of us with hardier palettes thought the flavors were perfect, and the aroma was amazing.

This recipe is a simple pasta with marinara, but the addition of the puffed mozzarella makes it special. The mozzarella is simply cubed and tossed with the warm ziti and sauce and puffs into soft gooey chunks that are delicious.

This sandwich is another one from my days as a waitress at the private doctors’ dining room at Rush-Pres-St.Luke’s Hospital (Room 500) during college. I am not sure of the original name of this sandwich, but I remember it alluded to healthiness due to the addition of sprouts and spinach. This was Chicago in the [...]

I discovered this recipe in the February 2009 Bon Apetit; it is from the Taku Glacier Lodge in Juneau, Alaska (I couldn’t find an online version of this reader restaurant recipe request).
Parmesan cheese, herbs and easy — that’s my kind of biscuit. I modified the ingredients (I do not have dried milk powder laying around, [...]
