Creamy Apple Blueberry Pie

Easy Homemade Chili

This homemade chili is delicious and goes great with cornbread or over corn chips for a chili pie! I like to use spicy pinto beans but if you use regular beans, you can up the chili powder in this recipe.

Authentic Swedish Pancakes

This Swedish pancakes recipe was taught to my father by his mother, who was born in Sweden. My father then passed this authentic recipe to me. Kids love them, and there are never any leftovers when I make them. Spoon melted butter over the pancakes and sprinkle with sugar or serve with lingonberry sauce. The pancakes can be made into larger cakes; however, the yield will be smaller. You can also use the batter to make crepes.

Quick and Easy Paella

Consider this a gateway paella and the first step to a serious, lifelong addiction. When I first do a version of a classic dish like paella, I try to use a minimum number of ingredients and steps to focus on technique. After learning the method, you'll ideally use a wider variety of ingredients, like clams, mussels, squid, and chicken, which will make your rice that much more interesting. Garnish with extra virgin olive oil, freshly chopped flat-leaf parsley, and lemon wedges.

Grilled Tilapia with Smoked Paprika

This grilled tilapia recipe is a quick and healthy recipe. My whole family loves it! Enjoy with your favorite salad.

Farmer's Casserole

Layer the ingredients for this farmer's casserole in a baking dish the night before, then cover and refrigerate. In the morning, pop the casserole into the oven about an hour before serving. Serve with melon wedges, fresh strawberries, and orange wedges.
