The perfect autumn soup, this hearty dish with a chicken broth base combines baked butternut squash, spicy turkey sausage, white rice, corn, and a dash of heavy cream, if desired.
A bed of tender mushrooms is laden with the winning combination of chicken, mozzarella and more mushrooms, proving you just cannot have too much of a good thing. Serve with rice or noodles.
I found this easy recipe for Cornish hens and prepare it often for my family. The glaze keeps the hens tender and moist, and the skin roasts to a golden glow. It's tasty, too. When the children are gone for the weekend, my husband and I enjoy this meal-perfect for two.
Italian-inspired rice balls made with lean ground beef are rolled in crumbs and baked, not fried. They are flavored with Parmesan and mozzarella cheeses, and served with prepared pasta sauce.
The secret to a good scalloped potato dish is to make sure it has plenty of creamy sauce, which this recipe has. My husband and sons rate this simply delicious potato casserole the 'best ever' and request it often. -Christine Eilerts Tulsa, Oklahoma
