I made up this recipe for beef enchiladas because I love cream cheese.
Brussels Sprouts in a Sherry Bacon Cream Sauce
These creamy Brussels sprouts with bacon are so delicious and easy to make. I had this with friends at a tapas restaurant in Portland. I sometimes add pecans to the recipe.
Gluten-Free Lemon Meringue Pie
This is an old recipe that I've tweaked to be gluten free. I use an oval serving dish that is 8x13 inches at the widest points of the oval so obviously the amount of graham crackers that you use for the base are entirely to your own liking and you can tweak accordingly.
