Debby’s Corn ChowderBy HeatherLeighFresh corn, Silver Queen if you can get it, really sets this chowder apart. Don't bother if you're thinking about frozen corn. And speaking of frozen, opt for making this as a double batch and then freezing a few portions of it for later. Garnish with a slice of red jalapeno, some grated cheese and a blue corn chip!Al’s Mushroom RisottoBy HeatherLeighAl: The two most important things about making risotto are using good quality arborio rice and the stirring! I use Rice Select arborio rice which is readily available in most supermarkets, in a clear plastic 36 oz. container. All of their rices are tasty!!Nanny’s Pepper SteakBy HeatherLeighThis recipe is so yummy and works great in any season. Also makes great leftovers, should you actually have any left!Leslie’s Bolognese SauceBy HeatherLeighLeslie: "I like to double the batch for a big group and freeze leftovers. Another tip, make ahead of time and simmer in the crock pot all day, that's my favorite way to cook this family fave. Also, be liberal with the spices, no need to be exact with this recipe. Enjoy!"Susie’s Asian Noodle SaladBy HeatherLeighThis is really yummy and works great as a side dish or entree. Don't bother getting the bags of shredded carrots from the store as they're flavorless. And since this salad is so easy, you can spend that extra 10 minutes doing it yourself!Susie’s Mac & CheeseBy HeatherLeighThe worcestershire and beer give the mac and cheese a pubby taste, albeit a homemade pub!Keahon Breakfast SouffleBy HeatherLeighA go-to at the holidays; it's easy to make the day before and just reheat in the morning, very much impressing your guests 😉 Could easily be a dinnertime entree as well and I bet chorizo is a tasty variation on the pork sausage!Flavia’s Mac & CheeseBy HeatherLeighThis is my Grandma's macaroni & cheese. I miss her so much so it's nice to cook this up and think of her. To my surprise, it freezes great. And as my mom says, it's popular at tailgates, picnics and backyard cookouts, i.e. pretty much everywhere!Nanny’s Chicken a la KingBy HeatherLeighYummy, cozy meal, I like adding some fresh sauteed mushrooms to this to liven it up a bit.
