Green Chicken Enchiladas
This green chile chicken enchilada casserole made with cream of mushroom soup is great to assemble the night before and have ready to pop in the oven after work. Garnish as desired. Serve with Spanish-style rice.
Cabbage Roll Soup
I made this cabbage roll soup after having a craving for cabbage rolls but no time to make them. This is a nourishing, hearty soup. So simple to make and the amount of cabbage can be adjusted to your liking. Serve piping hot with crusty bread or garlic toast.
Southern Peach Shortcake
My mom was a great Southern scratch cook. She believed a shortcake was basically a lightly sweetened biscuit, made to hold up mounds of beautiful, fresh fruit. I have tried to recreate her recipe, and I think this recipe is pretty close! Mom's shortcake was best when made about an hour before serving, to allow all those juices to soak into the shortcake. It's best when eaten fresh, in one sitting, but if you happen to have any leftovers, you can store them in the refrigerator. Garnish with sweetened whipped cream if desired.
