Zucchini Boats are great! You can stuff them any way you like. We have stuffed them so many different ways but this one is a favorite... with this recipe we have also added chopped kalamata olives, diced hot ham, sun-dried tomatoes and feta.

Stuffed Peppers - BBQ Bacon Cheeseburger Style by Denise Sherin

I love stuffed peppers. But my son doesn't like rice and wasn't a fan of the plain flavor of the tomato sauce. So I created these peppers knowing the flavors of BBQ bacon cheeseburger would appeal to him. I used orzo in place of rice. Needless to say he ate 2 and a half at dinner and has asked for all the leftovers to be his…

Salisbury Steak with Horseradish Mushroom Gravy by Denise Sherin

This is comfort food to me. It's a timeless classic and it's still yummy today. It is a great one pot meal that can be finished in a crock pot too, just brown the beef patties first. Serve it over egg noodles and it's hearty, tasty dinner.

Holiday Ham with Pineapples (Easter or Christmas) by Denise Sherin

Honey Soy Drumsticks by Denise Sherin

This is a nice way to bake chicken. I use it for 12 drumsticks but you could use it for 18-20 wings, 10-12 thighs or even just chicken breasts. Original recipe says to salt and pepper the chicken before you add the sauce but I don't salt it because the soy sauce has plenty of salt. So season it how ever you like. I heat the honey…

Butter Baked Cod with Lemon and Capers by Denise Sherin

Cheesy Chicken Pot Pie Braid by Denise Sherin

I don't know where I found this recipe but we love it! It's fast and simple to make and very kid friendly. Goes well with a salad or soup for dinner. It's also great served sliced for a buffet. I use seamless crescent dough if you cant find it just pinch the regular crescent dough to form a rectangle.
