Double-Ranch Pizza with Chicken and Bacon
This pizza is fast to make when using rotisserie chicken, and prepared pizza dough. For an even quicker preparation use already cooked bacon crumbles. I cook my pizza in a cast iron skillet for a slight crunch to my dough. Serve with a small salad if desired.
Dill Pickle Cornbread Muffins
These dill pickle cornbread muffins are a new twist on a cornbread muffin. Don't worry, the dill pickle flavor will not overwhelm, but you'll taste its subtle essence. These muffins are delicious with a bowl of chili, but we also enjoy them simply with a pat of butter and a drizzle of hot honey. For a variation, try spicy hot dill pickles for an even bolder flavor.
Awesome Red Wine Pot Roast
I call this awesome red wine pot roast recipe my "famous Seamus" pot roast because my tiny Siamese cat, Seamus, sat in the kitchen the entire time this was cooking. I've been making this recipe for 40+ years, and I just throw the ingredients together; it's very forgiving. My son-in-law also says it's the best thing he ever ate. When boys hang around the kitchen, it can't be bad.
