Cheesy Bread


Cheesy bread is one of my favorite things to do with spaghetti or pretty much any Italian dish. It also goes great as an appetizer for parties. I usually end up buying this from the store but have discovered making my own is so much better. I got this recipe from the Pioneer Woman, and it has become one of my all time favorites! The process to making this cheesy bread recipe is fairly easy. You simply mix ingredients such as mayonnaise, cheeses, and green onions in a bowl. You then heat garlic and butter in a pan and coat the French bread with it. After that the cheese mixture is spread onto the top of the bread, placed into the oven and baked. Enjoy.

Ranch Chicken Strips


I never thought that dry ranch dressing mix would make the best chicken strips ever. Maybe it’s not just the ranch but the combination of dry ranch dressing mix, parmesan cheese , and a few seasonings. No matter the reason, these were the best chicken strips I have had in awhile. The best part about this recipe is it requires few ingredients and is so easy to prepare. The chicken strips are rolled in a dry ranch dressing, parmesan cheese, and crushed corn flake mixture. They are either then baked or deep fried. These go great for parties or just for dinner. Enjoy.

Pumpkin Cheesecake



 This is a combination of cheesecake and pumpkin pie. Those who love pumpkin pie are sure to enjoy this cheesecake. The crust is mostly like any other cheesecake crust with melted butter and graham crackers, but in this recipe cinnamon and brown sugar are added as well. The filling uses spices such a cinnamon, nut mug and ground cloves to give it that classic pumpkin pie flavor. The cheesecake is then topped with a sour cream and sugar mixture. If you are looking for an excellent cheesecake recipe for the Holidays, this is the one! Enjoy.

Shrimp Parmesan


Shrimp parmesan is a very simple and delicious way to prepare shrimp. The process is fairly simple, the shrimp are tossed with olive oil, garlic, salt and pepper. They are then coated with a bread crumb and parmesan cheese mixture and baked. The shrimp are baked at 475 degrees so they do not take very long to cook, only about 10 minutes. These shrimp go perfect served on a bed of pasta with your favorite sauce. I just placed them on top of hot garlic and buttered noodles. You could also use spaghetti or alfredo sauce. If you are looking for a delicious baked shrimp parmesan recipe, give this one a try. Enjoy.

Chicken Marsala Pasta


A good chicken and mushroom dish that I always enjoy is chicken Marsala pasta. The combination of cream sauce with pasta, mushrooms and chicken is nothing short of amazing. This is a nice change up from most pasta dishes and the Marsala wine gives the sauce amazing flavor. Marsala wine is fairly common and shouldn’t be that hard to find. This dish takes a little work but it is well worth it. The chicken is first cooked in the pan and then sliced into strips. If you do not want to pan fry the chicken, you can bake it or grill it as well. The sauce is a combination of Marsala wine, chicken broth and heavy cream. This is perfect for dinner any night of the week. Enjoy.
