Crustless Broccoli Quiche
When I make quiche, it’s usually on the weekends, because I don’t have time to make it for breakfast during the week. I suppose I could make quiche for dinner every now and then, which isn’t a bad idea! This quiche would be great for dinner because it has lots of broccoli and Swiss cheese…

Farmhouse Fries
I’m a big fan of fries and always have been! I don’t deep fry foods much, so when I make fries I usually roast them instead of deep frying them. So these yummy Farmhouse Fries are actually drizzled with olive oil and baked in the oven, not fried! Hopefully they are a little healthier than…

Spanakopita
Spanakopita is one of my favorite appetizers. I have always loved the cheesy spinach filling and flaky phyllo crust! I first made this recipe when I did a review of 175 Best Mini Pie Recipes: Sweet to Savory. The Spanakopita recipe in this book sounded really good and I just had to make it! There’s no…

Cheesy Taters
This is a yummy comfort food recipe from a cookbook I reviewed some years ago, The Meatloaf Bakery Cookbook. It was written by Cynthia Kallile, founder of a bakery in Chicago that specialized in making meatloaf in creative ways (meatloaf cupcakes, little loafies, even meatloaf pastries!). I had tried this Cheesy Taters recipe from the…

Buttered Brussels Sprouts with Parsley and Chives
I first made this brussels sprouts recipe when I did a review a few years back for the cookbook, Return to Sunday Dinner: The Simple Delight of Family, Friends, and Food by renowned chef Russell Cronkhite.
