Sloppy Joe's

When I was first married I made these for Mike, he so surprised that I had made these from scratch instead of from a can.  It was really fun to cook for Mike because everything I made he was amazed with!  We have had many good laughs from those early years.
These have become one of our family favorites as well as a McCain favorite as well.  I usually make a whole batch and we then have leftovers for lunch the next day or dinner the next evening.  I really love to serve these with the homemade hamburger buns I have posted in the past, but feel free to just by hamburger buns as well.  In the summer we like corn on the cob, but in the winter I serve it with sweet corn and fruit.  A very easy dinner for those busy weekday nights!

Asian Chicken Lettuce Wraps

I am always looking for fast, easy and nutritious meals for my busy weeknight meals.  These wraps have become one of our family favorites.  We serve these with a side of wontons or potstickers to complete the meal. The filling can be made ahead of time and reheated if your day is extra busy. Bibb lettuce is our favorite, but feel free to use iceberg or even romaine for this dish. I hope you enjoy these as much as we do!

Glazed Lemon Loaf Cake

Ever since getting a slice of Lemon Cake from Starbucks a few years back I have been on a quest to find a good copycat recipe.  I've tried several and they were all fine, but this cake is officially the winner.  My search is over! I seriously could not imagine a more perfect lemon cake.   Lemon flavor shines throughout the cake, but the real punch of flavor comes from the delectable glaze. The cake itself is so moist yet fluffy and tender at the same time.  It's like a ray of sunshine on a cold winter's day!

Best Ever Chocolate Chip Cookies

The name says it all. These cookies are my (and my husband's) favorite cookies! Not just your average chocolate chip cookies, these babies come out of the oven with a slightly crisp outside while still remaining soft on the inside. Use Ghiradelli Milk Chocolate Chips and you will have achieved chocolate chip cookie perfection!
