With the warm weather, I was craving a salad that was hearty enough to be a meal all on its own. I had some tortilla chips and salsa I wanted to use up, and that inspired the idea to make a Taco Salad. After tasting the salad, my boyfriend – who previously swore he hated…

Cheesy Garlic Jalapeno Frittata
In preparation for going out of town, I was using up everything I could from my fridge. That led to this Cheesy Garlic Jalapeno Frittata, which my boyfriend could not stop talking about. I usually have these ingredients (you can use any mix of cheeses you want, but I’ve noted one of my fav combos…
Cheddar Bay Biscuits
My boyfriend’s dad is obsessed with Old Bay Seasoning. He buys it in bulk and puts it on everything. At his prompting, I bought some and my first order of business was to try my hand at making the cheddar bay biscuits everyone talks about. It’s the basic Bisquick biscuit recipe with some cheddar cheese…

Cheese-Swirled Bread
When I make this bread, my boyfriend will eat the whole loaf in one day. The bread is soft and fluffy on the inside, with a crispy cheese crust on top, and delish herb cheese swirling through the middle. I have tried every combination of cheese and herbs – my favorite is cheddar with green…
Turkey Tetrazzini
This was one of my mom’s go-to dishes when I was a kid. The creamy cheesy goodness made it such good comfort food. I always imagined it was a lot of work to make, so I was thrilled when my mom told me it’s pretty much just an assemblage of freezer and pantry items plus…

Artichoke Dip Omelette
One day I was eating artichoke dip and had the inspiration that I could use the leftovers to make a kick-ass omelette. Silly me – there were no leftovers. For a long time I kept waiting for the day when I would actually have leftover artichoke dip… and then it finally occurred to me that…
Pancake Mix Garlic Onion Cheese Bread
Yes, I’m posting this on April Fool’s Day… but no, this is not a joke. Thanks to COVID-19 we’re all living in this new shelter-in-place world, and apparently everyone has decided to get into bread-baking. As a result that I never would have predicted for a global pandemic, all the grocery stores appear to be…

Mexican Casserole
This is my mom’s Mexican Casserole recipe. It has nacho cheese Doritos in it, so naturally I adored it when I was a kid. Actually, I still adore it now! It is cheesy, crispy, meaty goodness. You can dress it up with sides, but honestly it’s good enough to eat plain. Guessipe 20 oz cheddar…
Creamy Broccoli Salad
I love this Creamy Broccoli Salad for a picnic or a day at the beach. It doesn’t have any lettuce to get soggy, and actually gets better with some time soaking in the sweet creamy dressing. It’s got so many layers of flavor and texture, and lots of good for you veggies! Guessipe 1 lb…
