I can't just make up dishes, but I can certainly follow a recipe! My grandmother always said, 'If you can follow a recipe, you can cook.' I thought I'd include a favorite main dish recipe I got from my mother-in-law. Thanks and enjoy!"

I hope you'll enjoy this dish!"

Everyone's Casserole

Best Meatloaf Ever

Thanks Terry!

TexMex Casserole
recipeweeklogo.jpg (4845 bytes)is a delicious and easy way to bring home that great Mexican flavor everyone loves. This casserole is meatless and you won't miss the meat, but if you have meat lovers in your family you can add one pound of browned ground meat to this casserole at the same time you add all the other ingredients into the baking dish. Instead of browned ground meat, you can use browned ground turkey or soy crumbles (you can find these in your grocer's freezer and these don't have to be browned).

You don't have to wait for a holiday. Make everyday a holiday with this bean bake. Top your casserole with shredded mozzarella cheese for a delicious twist.

Mexican Macaroni & Cheese
This recipe was actually created by my daughter Evamarie and me while in the grocery store last week. A spur of the moment kind of thing. Since she loves macaroni and cheese we were thinking of how to make it with a little more "punch". This is what we came up with and I have to say she did a great job! According the taste testers in my family it got 2 thumbs up. I hope you will enjoy it too!

Tuna Noodle Casserole
This is an old family favorite. I love egg noodles and this casserole is full of them ! The whole family will enjoy this recipe. It can be prepared in advanced and keeps well in your freezer for a couple of weeks.

Squash Casserole
This recipe is from our friend Sharon Lee.  This is perfect for the chilly evenings and a terrific side dish for any holiday meal. She says, "This is excellent with chicken or turkey. I've never met anyone who doesn't like it except my daughters who don't think vegetables were made for eating."

Easy Chicken Divan
This recipe is an old family favorite. I remember my mother making this on a cold winter’s night. Not only does it taste so good, but it is all prepared in one casserole dish. It is a super way to use leftover chicken or turkey.

Cheesy Pasta
is not only delicious but full of bone building calcium which is good for the whole family. You can prepare Cheesy Pasta ahead of time, like the night before, as a great way to save time.  This casserole freezes well for up to a  month.

Superb! More authentic than any other Italian mother......
I was raised in the Italian restaurant business--par excellence! REAL ITALIANOS! This book surpasses anything I ever saw/learned during those many years. I have strongly recommended it to ALL my friends and anyone else who would listen. I've given it as gifts on several occasions and nothing but loud lauds for Dom. INCOMPARABLE by anyone's standards---foreign born or "retreads"! :-)
