Ridiculously Easy Italian Chicken

This Italian chicken is so easy to make that I feel a little guilty making it. In fact, I almost didn't even try the concept when I ran across it. I thought "3 ingredients?

Chicken and Wild Rice Soup is absolutely, 100% the best non-dessert recipe in my cookbook. If it weren’t for the calories, I would live off of this. Seriously.

Classic Baked Macaroni and Cheese

I'll be straight-up honest with you. I love this recipe. But I also hate it. Because since I developed it, my husband refuses to eat the blue box macaroni and cheese.

Easy Beef and Rice Enchiladas

I didn't post these on my website for a long time because I didn't realize there was a high request for enchilada recipes.
