Roasted Corn Breakfast Pie
This was inspired by my mother-in-law's (Dana Rock) breakfast casserole. I added my own twists and changes to create this roasted corn breakfast pie.
Kid-Pleasing Sloppy Joes
This is one of my kids' favorite recipes! I could make this five times in a row and they'd never get tired of it. It's easy to make and a real quick, hot meal for those busy nights. I will add cheese on top of these kid-friendly Sloppy Joes or warm the rolls in the oven. I occasionally add mild banana peppers on top for my husband since he is a fan of spicy things.
Beef Nilaga
Beef nilaga is another one-meal-in-a-pot dish that's terrific during cooler weather. It contains soup, meat, and vegetables all cooked together in one delicious broth. Serve hot, either alone or with rice.
