 From Chocolate, Chocolate and More, the lure of salted caramel, butterscotch and the first "poke cake" I will have made.

I really like traditional Green Bean Casserole.  Variations often look appealing but I stick with the classic.  But. If you add cheese and bacon to just about any savory recipe, I am interested!

From I wash you Dry a 7 Layer Party Dip that looks great for New Year's Eve or a board game day.  I'd have to leave out the cilantro and avacados, myself.

I love carrots but have not managed to find a way to cook them that is simple yet tasty.  I will try these glazed carrots from I Wash You Dry.

As much as I love stuffing, I should make it more than once a year.  From the Novice Chef, stuffing that uses Texas Toast and looks like a meal in itself.

We all like a beef enchilada recipe from the Old El Paso Enchilada Sauce can, but this recipe from I Wash You Dry looks even cheesier.  She also has her own home made enchilada sauce that looks yummy.

A Coalcracker in the Kitchen has a recipe for a "red sauce" with a touching story behind it's invention.

In an age where you don't get many trick or treaters anymore, maybe you could spring for some boxes of Cracker Jacks to hand out!

This will be appearing on the menu soon.

We tried this recipe tonight.  We would make it again, but in half a recipe. Also, it was agreed that the Parmesan Cheese wasn't a good match for the rest of the dish. Cheddar would be better.  I thought the Instant Rice didn't cook thoroughly, and there were crunchy bits of it. Also, I'd use a regular cooked chicken breast  as the taste and texture of the Rotisserie Chicken in this dish was not pleasing, to me at least.
