This curry chicken and broccoli casserole is my 13-year-old son's favorite dish — he requests it each year on his birthday. The creamy cheese sauce contrasts beautifully with the crunchy cornflake topping. It's a standby meal and easy to make, freeze, and bake at a later date. You can freeze it for up to six months. If frozen, bake uncovered for 1 hour.

Breaklava
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.
Italian Easter Grain Pie
This Italian grain pie is a real treat for Easter. It's also known as pastiera. The filling is made with wheat berries, ricotta cheese, eggs, and candied citrus. Store leftovers in the refrigerator.
Fresh Fruit Flan
This fruit flan recipe was given to me by a great cook and great friend. In some countries, such as the U.K. and Germany, flan is not a baked custard dessert but instead similar to a fruit tart, made with a cake-like crust, custard filling, and fresh fruit on top. This recipe is a riff on that style of flan, made with a cream cheese filling reminiscent of what we in the U.S. call a fruit pizza.
