Million Dollar Spaghetti

I have made this for over 30 years and is very good. It is not your traditional pasta and sauce, but an elegant one-dish meal. It has a cheese filling with the mixture of hamburg and sauce on the top. The cheese filling is yummy with the spaghetti.

Grilled Mozzarella Cheese Sandwich

I saw a photo on Pinterest of a grilled cheese sandwich made with mozzarella cheese that looked simply amazing. So I made sandwiches today to reflect the photo.

Rustic Tomato Soup

A very flavorful rustic tomato soup recipe. The mix of roasted and fresh, along with the canned base gives this soup a nice flavor. No cream needed, just a very nice rich tomato taste. Serve with a toasted baguette with melted cheese or a grilled cheese sandwich, and enjoy.

Chicken Fajitas

I usually love steak fajitas, but for chicken prepare this way, I will make an exception. It's the beer. I do this out on the grill in the cast iron skillet but you can do it inside on the stove. The plus side of doing it outdoors is the smoky flavor it imparts to the chicken and veggies.

New Year Fried Rice
