Citrus Shortbread Cookies
This recipe was given to me by my mother-in-law, one of the best cooks I know...and given that we're from south Louisiana, that's saying something. With the chopped up dried cranberries, these are as pretty as they are tasty.
Mexican Enchilada Casserole
This casserole is especially good for those like myself that don't really care for canned enchilada sauce. It also freezes well and can be assembled, frozen, then baked later. Use 1/2 cup homemade taco seasoning if you have it; chili powder can be found online.
Homemade English Muffins
You can't make a true homemade English muffin without using bread flour; it gives the muffins the chewy texture you identify with and love. I've tried many recipes with all-purpose and bread flour, and this is the best.
