White Chicken Chili


This is a lot different from your normal chili, as it uses no actual chili powder. Adding the shredded Monterey jack cheese makes a huge difference in the flavor and is necessary so do not leave it out. The original recipe called for diced jalapeño peppers, If you want left over chicken you want to use up, this is a great recipe for that. Enjoy.

Beef and Bean Burritos


There are so many different ways you can make a good burrito filling. Some of these ways include chicken, bean, and beef. The type of filling that I have presented for you in this recipe includes bean and beef as well as brown rice. The cooking method is simple, the ground beef is cooked with onion and garlic, various seasonings are added and brown rice is mixed in. Tomato sauce is added to the mixture just before the simmering is finished. You can adjust the seasonings to your taste; add more chili powder, cumin, salt and pepper as desired. You can add different types of cheese to the burritos if you want, or even melt cheese on top when they are finished. What I like to do is put a little enchilada sauce on top of the wrapped burritos, add cheese, and place into the oven until the cheese has melted. You can also add additional toppings such as lettuce, tomato and sour cream. This recipe can easily be split in half. Enjoy.

Berry Cheesecake


Perhaps you are looking for a good cheesecake recipe for the Holidays. If so, you have come to the right place. There are a lot of good cheesecakes out there but this berry cheesecake might just be one of the best. Like most traditional cheesecakes we are making a graham cracker crust, and a delicious fresh berry topping. What really impressed me about this recipe is the nice lemon flavor this cake has. The cheesecake itself gets a lot of its flavor from a full tablespoon of lemon zest. The fresh berry topping is basically strawberries, raspberries and blueberries tossed with warmed jelly. Is this sounding good to you yet? If so, give it a try for the Holidays! Enjoy.

Sausage Stuffed Shells


Sausage stuffed shells are a great way to make good use of those jumbo pasta shells. Some of the stuffing ingredients include Italian sausage, chopped spinach, and parmesan and ricotta cheese. This is a fairly easy recipe, the hardest part is stuffing the shells. If you have an extra hand in the kitchen, it would be wise to get some help. This recipe can be on the table in about an hour. Serve with garlic bread. Enjoy.

Cookies n’ Cream Brownies


Cookies n’ Cream Brownies are the perfect treat for this holiday season. They put a nice little twist on your average chocolate brownie. Chocolate brownie mix is combined with crushed Oreo cookies in this fantastic recipe. If you want to experiment with different flavors you can use different flavors of Oreo cookies such as peppermint. After the brownies are baked and have cooled, a delicious glaze is drizzled over the top to even add sweeter flavor to these already amazing brownies. This recipe will make about 36 brownies. These are perfect for Christmas. Enjoy.
