Today’s recipe is a really easy version of a summer, grilled chicken parmesan; only I changed it. Everyone talks about de-constructing recipes these days.

I invented this casserole as a “Plan B” option. I went to the store thinking I was going to make stuffed poblanos but the chilies were all so small I just bought a bunch of them and went home.

The seasoning on the top of this turkey breast comes from a great guy in Door County named Curt. He makes his own seasoning and sells it in a store and on-line.

Riley rocked her refrigerator to come up with this one. Riley says, "I was looking for a way to use up leftovers and winter in Nebraska is a great time for soups."

The only trick to coleslaw is to make it ahead, as the flavors need some time to develop. This one is just about as easy to make as the other stuff is to pour out of the jar. And healthier.

I’d recommend provolone with this dish but you can also use Gruyere, mozzarella or another favorite cheese.

I originally came across a recipe similar to this in an Italian cookbook made up of recipes from Italian movie stars.

There’s no way to use a commercial sauce for barbecued meats. They ALL have copious amounts of sugar in them. I know, I checked every bottle in the store.

This is a take-off of a famous, old, traditional menu. I've just skimmed all the fat out of it. I hope I didn't take away all the fun or the flavor in the process.

If we had a gourmet comfort food category this recipe would be the first one. Its easy to make, very satisfying, and tastes delicious. A great meal for a rainy day.

You can serve these as an appetizer, a party buffet food, a lunch or even as a dinner option. If you have never had Thai food and want an easy way to try it, this is a perfect dish.

I do, on occasion make Indian food. This is my latest creation for Chicken Tikka Masala with a cold cucumber salad on the side. The cold salad balances off the spicy chicken.

This makes for a beautiful, crusty chicken with a tangy, yet simple sauce. Easy meal for a weeknight but fancy enough for guests.

A great dish cooked in under 15 minutes. Perfect for any night of the week.

There is a version of this recipe being advertised on TV and on the Hellman’s website. I made up a slightly different version.

A very quick and simple family dinner.

This is recipe was contributed by Plan Z dieter Shana. What a great idea! Super easy.

Garnish your plate with the cherry tomatoes for color.

This dish can be made with a myriad of veggies and with things like pepperoni or chopped, cooked bacon, any kind of cheese you like, or even with pesto or mustard.
