Spinach Chicken Parmesan
A family favorite. A classic dish with a Popeye-esque twist; so eat yer spinach (with chicken parmesan) and enjoy it, too!
Steak and Kidney Pie
This hearty steak and kidney pie is a meal in itself! Perfectly seasoned beef and potatoes simmer in a rich gravy beneath a flaky crust for a comforting, hearty old-fashioned pie. I like to use milder flavored lamb kidneys instead of beef.
Philly Fluff Cake
This cake is very popular in the East Coast. Natale's Bakery in New Jersey is famous for this cake. I made a small cake but this recipe can be easily doubled and baked in a 12 cup tube or Bundt pan. The powdered sugar is a must on this cake.
