Panera’s Cream Cheese Potato Soup

This is my favorite recipe for potato soup. It’s a copycat of the one they use to serve at the St. Louis Bread Company (Panera). The recipe originally called for shredding your potatoes, but I never could get them to cook that way. I know they should cook faster, but I never could get it to work.

Fannie Farmer’s Classic Baked Macaroni & Cheese

To me Fannie Farmer’s recipe is the only “real” Macaroni & Cheese. It’s from my 1946 edition of “Fannie Farmer’s Boston Cooking School Cookbook”. With time on it’s side – this recipe is hands down the best for traditional, homemade baked macaroni & cheese – comfort food. Please Note: If you use CHEAP CHEESE you will end up with a BLAND and FLAVORLESS DISH!

Oven-Fried Chicken Chimichangas

A fast and healthier way to serve Chimichangas than the traditional deep fried. These are very good, and you may dress them up to you own preference. I like to serve with green chile sauce sometimes instead of the picante sauce.

Scalloped Potatoes

Here’s a great scalloped potato recipe that’s so easy and absolutely delicious. The leftovers are just as good, maybe even better, the next day. This is one of my favorite and most prepared recipes, from my 1971 Florence Junior Welfare League cookbook.

Creamy Burrito Casserole

Satisfy your craving for something different tonight. It’s good and fairly easy. This is stuff I usually have on hand too.
