Mamma Maria’s Baked Ziti, Pasta al Forno

Grilled Sesame Flank Steak
“Flank steak is a delicious cut of beef and is often stuffed or rolled, yet I’m here to tell you that it’s an often-misused piece of beef. The biggest tip is to marinate the flank steak overnight to tenderize it and bring out its flavor.” – Scott

Cheesy Garlic Stuffed Chicken
“Everyone I have made this for absolutely loves it! So many flavors and just the right amount of juiciness for this chicken dish.” – Christina

Cherry Pecan Stuffed Chicken Breasts
“My inspiration for this was a recipe for chicken breasts stuffed with sliced almonds and dried apricots. I made it my own way using the ingredients I already had – pecans and dried cherries.” – Gretchen

“This gets made weekly at our house! My hubs should probably join an enchiladas support group he asks for it so often!” – Michelle
Roast Sticky Chicken Rotisserie Style Like the Deli
“I make up this seasoning mix in bulk and store it in a mason jar. It is also good on oven-baked potato wedges and seasoning pork roast or chops. I use a rotisserie for this chicken, but it bakes in the oven just as well.” – Belle
Beer Onion Gravy Pork Roast
“This is a keeper! The flavor of the onion gravy is delicious with the roast & mashed potatoes.” – Diana

Cedar Plank Salmon
“The product of some lake house weekend cooking creativity. This recipe has evolved to become a family favorite – and don’t underestimate the salmon salad you could make from leftovers.” – Brad
Slow Cooker Ranch Pork Chops
