Here's a make ahead casserole that gets topped with a crunchy, cheesy topping that is akin to dumplings, but it has more texture. By using prepared alfredo sauce, frozen vegetables and precooked chicken, it's so easy to toss together. I've used an italian blend instead of the provolone with yummy results.

I like to have soup almost any time of the year. The easiest way to make it is to use the slow cooker. Here's one I've made recently.

 I don't have the exact recipe, but I remember Mom making a similar dish when I was a teen.  This is a really nice casserole to prepare ahead of time so all you have to do is pop it into the oven when you get home.

I like making my own dough for pizzas, bread sticks, calzones, etc.  Only thing is, I want it to be easy yet, different.  I know, that sounds weird, but we like whole grains, or unusual textures for some kinds of breads.  Here's a recent recipe I used to make a cheese and garlic appetizer bread.  I used an organic Sunflower/Millet flour and a Mexican Blend cheese for it.

Now that spring is here and warm weather approaches Central Ohio, it's time to think about getting the grill ready for the summer.  Yay!  Here's a unique approach to the usual Saturday Burger affair.

As a child, I loved those frozen pot pies with a full crust all around.  Flaky pastry, some veggies, chicken or beef and gravy - yum!  Then I got older and made one for myself - OMG!
