Sometimes it's those simple comforts that hit the spot best!

I grew up in health-conscious home where things like boxed Hamburger Helper meals were only served on very rare occasions. But I'll admit that as a kid I enjoyed those less-than-healthy boxed meal occasions. Hamburger Helper Cheeseburger Macaroni and Tuna Casserole....they tasted pretty darn good! At least to a kid who wasn't yet concerned about long lists of indecipherable ingredients on the nutrition labels.

I've created a copycat, from-scratch version of Cheeseburger Macaroni that by comparison has a tiny list of ingredients - all of which are readily identifiable and easy to pronounce! And guess what? Not only is this made without any junk ingredients, it also tastes WAY better than the boxed stuff! AND it's ready to serve in just 20 minutes, win-win!

This is a family favorite in our home and I'm confident it will be a hit in your home also!

What do Italy, Chicago, and New Orleans have in common? They love their Giardiniera!

Originating in Italy, these pickled vegetables were introduced to Chicago in the late 19th century by Italian immigrants and they took their place as arguably the city's most popular condiment. It's used on practically everything! Giardiniera is just what you need to bring your hot dogs, burgers, sandwiches, nachos, antipasto platters and pasta salads to life. In Chicago you'll even commonly find it served on pizzas, and of course no Italian beef sandwich is complete without it!

Have you been to New Orleans? Giardiniera is also the magical ingredient in those mouthwatering muffuletta sandwiches.

In short, giardiniera is the ultimate pickled vegetable relish and you'll find yourself reaching for it again and again!

Last Week:

Consistently ranked as one of the most beloved icons of British culture, Yorkshire pudding captures all the warmth and charm of old-fashioned English cooking.

The very first home-cooked meal I had after moving to England was a traditional Sunday roast with Yorkshire pudding. We were still in the process of moving into our home and were invited over to dinner by a British family who would soon become dear friends. Known in England as "Sunday Dinner", a meal of sliced roast beef, crispy roasted potatoes, peas, carrots, brown gravy and Yorkshire pudding greeted us - our first introduction to English home cooking. And it was the perfect welcome.

Sunday Dinner is regarded as one of England's national dishes and in a poll a few years ago it ranked #2 out of the 50 things people most love about Britain.

This traditional Yorkshire pudding recipe includes all the tips & tricks you need to create the crispiest, most flavorful Yorkshire puddings EVER!
