Awesome Broccoli-Cheese Casserole
My mom made this broccoli cheese casserole every Thanksgiving when I was little. We kids could never get enough! If you have children or have some coming to visit you as guests this Thanksgiving, I guarantee that they will eat (and enjoy) this veggie dish. It's also fabulous with a Christmas ham.
Saucy Stuffed Peppers
My Slovakian grandmother always made huge pots of stovetop stuffed peppers in winter. I'm a vegetarian now and can safely say that this is the one dish that I really miss eating.
Cajun Chicken and Sausage Gumbo
This chicken and sausage gumbo is made with a seasoned roux, a classic from the bayous of south Louisiana. I revised the recipe after many, many trials. Serve it hot over cooked rice or with potato salad.
