There are some meals from my childhood ( the 60s & 70s) that are nostalgic, but sadly, once made again and tasted, fell short of my expectations. My Mom’s Pork Chops and Creamy Rice was one of those. I remember it being a favorite, kind of a pork chop version of the famous No-Peek Chicken.
Easy Pad Kra Pao
If you love Thai food, I think you’re gonna love this easy Pad Kra Pao (Pad Kra Pao translates to stir-fried holy basil). You might even have ordered it or at least seen it on the menu at your favorite Thai restaurant. It’s a classic offering.
Slow Cooker Carnitas
Hands down, one of my favorite Slow Cooker meals is these Slow Cooker Carnitas. For decades, I’ve made Mexican Shredded Beef or Pork in the slow cooker (link & photo below), but Carnitas? Only more recently, but they quickly edged out that recipe and other favorites!
Cheese Stuffed Italian Sausages
Cheese Stuffed Italian Sausages have been all over the internet, with many variations. They all have one thing in common – the Italian Sausages are stuffed with string cheese – ooey, gooey mozzarella – and then baked.
Easy Cheesy Breakfast Casserole
I pulled out an old family favorite for this post, our Easy Cheesy Breakfast Casserole. After all, who doesn’t love hash browns, eggs, and two kinds of cheesy goodness punctuated by your choice of sausage, ham, or bacon? Perfect for lazy weekend mornings or impressing brunch guests without breaking a sweat.
