My husband named this recipe Breaklava because I use phyllo dough, butter, and breakfast ingredients and layer it in a similar way you do for baklava. So it's breakfast baklava! You can use any combination of cheese to make it unique.

- 1 cup sour cream
- salt and ground black pepper to taste

Chicken Broccoli Alfredo Bake
This main entree comes together fast with a handful of ingredients, once you make the sauce. MyCottage Cheese Alfredo Saucemakes the dish both lighter and higher in protein.
Emergency Chicken
This is a great recipe for a quick and easy entree. My wife, who is 8 1/2 months pregnant, had chicken thawing and asked me to cook since she was exhausted. She didn't have any plans so I just threw some things together and came up with this recipe. I'm sure it could be improved upon, but in a pinch it was easy and delicious.
Oma Kiener's Hazelnut Christmas Cookies
An ice box cookie, these were one of the two Christmas cookie recipes my German grandmother made every year until her death at age 92. While they may not be fancy like other Christmas cookies recipes, they are easy to make and taste very nutty. They make me think of Christmas and my grandmother every time I enjoy one.
