Classic Crispy Top Macaroni and Cheese
This is basic mac and cheese at its best – easy and cheesy with just the right amount of crusty topping. People can’t put their finger on the secret ingredient, but the tiny bit of Dijon enhances the flavor beautifully. For added convenience, this recipe may easily be doubled, and it freezes well.

Topped with grated cheese and a few crushed tortilla chips, this flavorful soup is a favorite in our house. The recipe fills my 6-quart Dutch oven to the rim.

Foot Bridge Grilled Chicken (also known as A Third-A Third-A Third Chicken)
Depending on the amount of chicken you wish to grill, you may adjust the total quantity of marinade as needed. Simply use equal parts of each ingredient.
Make a little extra of the mixture if you’d like to use it as a marinade for vegetables. I typically marinate veggies for about an hour prior to grilling.

Thai red curry paste and fish sauce can be found in the international aisle or Asian foods section of most large grocery stores.

Jen’s Incredible Baked Meatballs
Tip #1: Double the batch and freeze half to serve later as mini meatloaves. Or reheat with sauce, top with cheese and make into a mean meatball sandwich.Tip #2: If you have a leftover piece of rind from the Parmesan, let it simmer in the crock pot with the marinara sauce or save for another soup recipe. This will add a great flavor boost to most any sauce or soup.
