Cheesy Macaroni and Cheese

Macaroni and Cheese is a great side dish with any meat. I served it with some baked chicken and green beans. I usually use a few cheeses whenever I make it, primarily with sharp cheddar and Monterey Jack. Sometimes, I'll spoon in a few tablespoons of sour cream, too. And, I always sprinkle in a little cayenne pepper, along with salt and pepper. You can find my macaroni and cheese recipe in my cookbook, "Everyday Comfort Foods with Family and Friends", $8.95 available at IUniverse.com, BarnesandNoble.com, and Amazon.com.

Sunday dinner: Chicken & Shrimp Fettuccini

After it cooled down this evening, I made one of my favorite dishes: chicken and shrimp fettuccini. It's a quick, flavorful dish that's perfect on a warm day, along with a glass of your favorite white wine.

A hot & hearty breakfast

Yes, the weather's been warm lately, but a hot, hearty breakfast is a great way to start the weekend. So, after hours doing work on my computer, and two cups of coffee and a slice of toast, I fixed myself a real breakfast: grits, scrambled eggs, and turkey sausage. It's a simple, delicious breakfast that's suitable any day.
