Matzo brei is a traditional Jewish breakfast dish made with matzo and scrambled eggs that everyone looks forward to eating during Passover. It's so comforting — it's great anytime! Use flavored matzo or add sautéed onion if you like, or serve with sugar, cinnamon, and applesauce for a sweet version.

Jalapeno-Bacon Stuffing
This is a side dish that goes great with turkey and is 100 times better than a "stovetop stuffing." If you take it to a potluck dinner you will be forever doomed to repeat the same dish forever...they demand it year after year. The jalapenos are the key; I chop them very fine. I have used up to 6 tablespoons, but 4 seems about perfect.

Old-Fashioned Shortcake
This easy recipe for shortcake was given to me by a friend. It was her mother's recipe, and it has become one of my favorite summer dessert recipes. These fabulous cakes sop up all the strawberry juices, and the touch of nutmeg sends them over the top!
