These loaded bacon, Cheddar, and ranch potatoes are the best you'll ever make, guaranteed! This recipe feeds a lot of people and it's a cinch to toss together. I took it to a potluck and the pan came home licked clean, literally! People were going back for seconds and thirds, and they were disappointed when it was all gone. These potatoes are so good, you just can't stop eating them! They go great with chicken, beef, or pork. Halve the recipe for a family of four.

Cheesy Eggplant Parmesan Casserole
My mom made this eggplant Parmesan casserole when I was young. It was always a favorite. Serve with a crisp green salad and garlic bread.
Sausage Barley Soup
This is a nice sausage barley soup recipe with a lot of texture and flavor. It is a welcome change for those weeks when there doesn't seem to be a lot of variety... And all three of my kids even loved it. This can also be cooked in a pan on the stove until the barley and carrot are tender, but I prefer the slow cooker method. The flavors seem to blend better.
