These are favorite recipes from my box, family, and friends. They are my special recipes, often made or much requested. These are the recipes I want to pass down.
When warm weather arrives, I start craving crisp, fresh salads, and this Shaved Broccoli Apple Salad is one I come back to again and again. Thinly shaved broccoli, crunchy apple, and a light tarragon dressing come together to create a salad that’s fresh, flavorful, and surprisingly satisfying.

Every food blogger has the perfect German Oven Pancake. This isn’t it. This one is MY perfect German Oven Pancake. And that’s the beauty of German pancakes. They’re wonderfully simple, endlessly adaptable, and nearly always delicious. This is buttery, golden, beautifully puffed, and about as easy as breakfast gets.

Green Chili Tortilla Chip Bake is one of those recipes that sounds a little crazy until you taste it. It’s hearty, comforting, ridiculously easy to make, and somehow manages to taste like chilaquiles, enchiladas, and nachos all rolled into one.
The Nacho layer, IMHO, really “makes” the casserole.
I have a guilty pleasure secret. I love Biscuits and Gravy. So I scoffed a bit when someone suggested I try a casserole version. I’ve seen recipes over the years, but it wasn’t until recently that I gave it a shot. I was blown away…and I think you will be, too.

Sesame Beef Stir Fry is a simple and easy stir-fry dish. It differs slightly from some of the restaurant versions, which are battered and fried (not that they aren’t delish, too!) This is a fresher take, and I think you’ll love it just as much.
