Chicken Supreme

One of our family favorites for chicken is this yummy adaptation of Saving Dinner's Chicken Supreme.  While her recipe was really good, I needed it to be able to adapt for eating on the fly, taking a plate to the couch or computer to eat, or (especially) when making my freezer meals.

Monte Christos

Before I got married, I lived with my brother & his family for almost a year.  It was a wonderful time of learning and growing.   One of the things that has endured from that year is this recipe, which has become a family favorite!  Our kids have taken it with them and introduced it to friends across the world (who usually think its quite strange, until they taste it!), so it has become an international sensation!  I don't know where the name comes from, other than that's what Roylee called it, and it really confuses our Spanish speaking friends - but it tastes great anyway!!  It's so good, that in spite of making it several times lately, I keep failing to get a picture of it before it gets eaten!

Special Waffles

Once upon a time, I used to make pancakes from scratch.  But with a busy family underfoot, who didn't care about taste over speed, I eventually dropped the habit & went with whatever quick mix was available at my nearest grocery store.  Once the kids grew up & I cared about the taste over speed, I decided to go searching for a great recipe.  Unfortunately, among the plethora of recipes out there, I couldn't find anything that satisfied my grown-up taste.  Eventually, I remembered that when I need a simple, basic recipe, the best place to find one is in my Fanny Farmer or Betty Crocker cookbooks.  This recipe has become a favorite, & is used in many ways, whenever we need a pancake batter!
