I made this blueberry French toast casserole for Christmas morning brunch. It's perfect to put in the oven and go open presents while it bakes. You can top with syrup or whipped cream or nothing at all. I found several different recipes similar to this one, but none had everything I wanted to do with it, so I thought I'd try to make my own. I think it is a very good start, but please, let me know what you think!

Chicken Adobo I
This is a variation of a recipe my mother taught me after I got married and wanted to make Filipino food for my husband.
Barbecue Chicken Grilled Pizza
This quick and easy barbecue chicken grilled pizza recipe is for those summer cookouts. I often make it as an appetizer while the ribs are cooking. Use whatever toppings you normally like on regular pizza, but the barbecue chicken is always a crowd-pleaser! The dough never makes a perfect rectangle, but we have fun guessing what it looks like ("That looks like America!"). For the chicken, I use pre-cooked grilled chicken from the store.
Garlic Parmesan Chicken Wings
These baked garlic Parmesan wings are super crispy because the chicken is cooked in a flavorful liquid before baking, which helps season them and produce a texture in the oven that your guests will swear came straight out of a deep fryer.
