A very quick and easy fix to a tasty side-dish. Fancy, designer mac and cheese often costs forty or fifty dollars to prepare when you have so many exotic and expensive cheeses, but they aren't always the best tasting. This recipe is cheap and tasty.

1 (8 ounce) box elbow macaroni ; ¼ cup butter ; ¼ cup all-purpose flour ; ½ teaspoon salt ; ground black pepper to taste ; 2 cups milk ; 2 cups shredded Cheddar cheese

Bring a large pot of lightly salted water to a boil. Cook elbow macaroni in the boiling water, stirring occasionally until cooked through but firm to the bite, 8 minutes. Drain. Melt butter in a saucepan over medium heat; stir in flour, salt, and pepper until smooth, about 5 minutes. Slowly pour milk into butter-flour mixture while continuously stirring until mixture is smooth and bubbling, about 5 minutes. Add Cheddar cheese to milk mixture and stir until cheese is melted, 2 to 4 minutes. Fold macaroni into cheese sauce until coated.

Gourmet Mushroom Risotto

main-dish

Myleen Sagrado Sjödin

Authentic Italian-style risotto cooked the slow and painful way, but oh so worth it. Complements grilled meats and chicken dishes very well. Check the rice by biting into it. It should be slightly al dente (or resist slightly to the tooth but not be hard in the center).

6 cups chicken broth, divided ; 3 tablespoons olive oil, divided ; 1 pound portobello mushrooms, thinly sliced ; 1 pound white mushrooms, thinly sliced ; 2 shallots, diced ; 1 ½ cups Arborio rice ; ½ cup dry white wine ; sea salt to taste ; freshly ground black pepper to taste ; 3 tablespoons finely chopped chives ; 4 tablespoons butter ; ⅓ cup freshly grated Parmesan cheese

In a saucepan, warm the broth over low heat. Warm 2 tablespoons olive oil in a large saucepan over medium-high heat. Stir in the mushrooms, and cook until soft, about 3 minutes. Remove mushrooms and their liquid, and set aside. Add 1 tablespoon olive oil to skillet, and stir in the shallots. Cook 1 minute. Add rice, stirring to coat with oil, about 2 minutes. When the rice has taken on a pale, golden color, pour in wine, stirring constantly until the wine is fully absorbed. Add 1/2 cup broth to the rice, and stir until the broth is absorbed. Continue adding broth 1/2 cup at a time, stirring continuously, until the liquid is absorbed and the rice is al dente, about 15 to 20 minutes. Remove from heat, and stir in mushrooms with their liquid, butter, chives, and parmesan. Season with salt and pepper to taste.

Quick and Easy Pizza Crust

CHEF RIDER

This is a great recipe when you don't want to wait for the dough to rise. You just mix it and allow it to rest for 5 minutes and then it's ready to go!! It yields a soft, chewy crust. For a real treat, I recommend you use bread flour and bake it on a pizza stone, but all-purpose flour works well too. Enjoy!

1 (.25 ounce) package active dry yeast ; 1 teaspoon white sugar ; 1 cup warm water (110 degrees F/45 degrees C) ; 2 ½ cups bread flour ; 2 tablespoons olive oil ; 1 teaspoon salt

Preheat oven to 450 degrees F (230 degrees C). In a medium bowl, dissolve yeast and sugar in warm water. Let stand until creamy, about 10 minutes. Stir in flour, salt and oil. Beat until smooth. Let rest for 5 minutes. Turn dough out onto a lightly floured surface and pat or roll into a round. Transfer crust to a lightly greased pizza pan or baker's peel dusted with cornmeal. Spread with desired toppings and bake in preheated oven for 15 to 20 minutes, or until golden brown. Let baked pizza cool for 5 minutes before serving.

Chicken Parmesan

Chef John

My version of chicken parmesan is a little different than what they do in the restaurants, with less sauce and a crispier crust.

4 skinless, boneless chicken breast halves ; salt and freshly ground black pepper to taste ; 2 eggs ; 1 cup panko bread crumbs, or more as needed ; ½ cup grated Parmesan cheese ; 2 tablespoons all-purpose flour, or more if needed ; 1 cup olive oil for frying ; ½ cup prepared tomato sauce ; ¼ cup fresh mozzarella, cut into small cubes ; ¼ cup chopped fresh basil ; ½ cup grated provolone cheese ; ¼ cup grated Parmesan cheese ; 1 tablespoon olive oil

Preheat an oven to 450 degrees F (230 degrees C). Place chicken breasts between two sheets of heavy plastic (resealable freezer bags work well) on a solid, level surface. Firmly pound chicken with the smooth side of a meat mallet to a thickness of 1/2-inch. Season chicken thoroughly with salt and pepper. Beat eggs in a shallow bowl and set aside. Mix bread crumbs and 1/2 cup Parmesan cheese in a separate bowl, set aside. Place flour in a sifter or strainer; sprinkle over chicken breasts, evenly coating both sides. Dip flour coated chicken breast in beaten eggs. Transfer breast to breadcrumb mixture, pressing the crumbs into both sides. Repeat for each breast. Set aside breaded chicken breasts for about 15 minutes. Heat 1 cup olive oil in a large skillet on medium-high heat until it begins to shimmer. Cook chicken until golden, about 2 minutes on each side. The chicken will finish cooking in the oven. Place chicken in a baking dish and top each breast with about 1/3 cup of tomato sauce. Layer each chicken breast with equal amounts of mozzarella cheese, fresh basil, and provolone cheese. Sprinkle 1 to 2 tablespoons of Parmesan cheese on top and drizzle with 1 tablespoon olive oil. Bake in the preheated oven until cheese is browned and bubbly, and chicken breasts are no longer pink in the center, 15 to 20 minutes. An instant-read thermometer inserted into the center should read at least 165 degrees F (74 degrees C).

This is my husband's favorite dish, and he considers it a special occasion every time I make it. The creamy cheese sauce and the tender potatoes in this classic French dish combine to make a deliciously addictive experience. It's a great side dish with a roast pork loin or beef tenderloin. Add a green salad and French bread, and you have found the magic path to a man's heart. To avoid lumps in your sauce, add the milk just a little at a time as you stir the flour and butter. Experiment with different cheeses for variety.

My mother was a country cook, plain and simple. But as I have traveled and worked and experienced foods from around the world, I look back and realize that many of the dishes she prepared, while simple, were perfect for that moment. Sometimes we have to put emotion and love in a dish to make it extra-special. The dish I am going to give you today is one like that. Simple and easy, yet full of love and goodness. My mother used to serve this with corn on the cob and cornbread. Very inexpensive and very good as well. Enjoy an Ozark memory...

My grandmother's recipe for roasted chicken. We are German and she used to do it this way all the time. I never have had a chicken this juicy before; this little trick works and makes the people eating it go silent. It's funny. We nibble on the celery after.

1 (3 pound) whole chicken, giblets removed ; salt and black pepper to taste ; 1 tablespoon onion powder, or to taste ; ½ cup margarine, divided ; 1 stalk celery, leaves removed

Preheat oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Place chicken in a roasting pan, and season generously inside and out with salt and pepper. Sprinkle inside and out with onion powder. Place 3 tablespoons margarine in the chicken cavity. Arrange dollops of the remaining margarine around the chicken's exterior. Cut the celery into 3 or 4 pieces, and place in the chicken cavity. Bake uncovered 1 hour and 15 minutes in the preheated oven, to a minimum internal temperature of 180 degrees F (82 degrees C). Remove from heat, and baste with melted margarine and drippings. Cover with aluminum foil, and allow to rest about 30 minutes before serving.

Sweet apples plus savory bacon equals a perfect quiche. We added a whole chopped poblano pepper last time and it complemented it very well.

1 (15 ounce) package unbaked pie crust ; ½ (8 ounce) package bacon ; ½ small onion, finely chopped ; 1 large apple - peeled, cored, and sliced ; 1 tablespoon chopped garlic ; ¾ cup milk ; ½ cup sour cream ; 3 large eggs ; 1 teaspoon sea salt ; 1 pinch ground cinnamon ; ½ (8 ounce) package shredded sharp Cheddar cheese ; 1 tablespoon dried sage

Preheat the oven to 450 degrees F (230 degrees C). Press pie crust into the bottom and up the sides of an 11-inch tart pan. Bake in the preheated oven until golden, 10 to 12 minutes. Remove and let cool. Reduce the oven temperature to 325 degrees F (165 degrees C). Place bacon in a large skillet and cook over medium-high heat, turning occasionally, until evenly browned, about 10 minutes. Drain bacon slices on paper towels. Crumble. Heat bacon grease in the same skillet over medium-high heat. Add onion and saute until translucent, about 5 minutes. Add apple and cook until just tender, 3 to 5 minutes. Add garlic and saute until fragrant, about 1 minute. Remove from heat and stir in bacon. Whisk milk, sour cream, eggs, sea salt, and cinnamon together in a bowl. Layer apple mixture, Cheddar cheese, and egg mixture in the prepared crust. Sprinkle sage over top. Bake in the preheated oven until set, 30 to 40 minutes. Allow to cool before serving.

Okinawan-Style Pad Thai

world-cuisine

David Peters

This is a famous dish popularized in Thailand. Although the recipe varies from cook to cook and region to region, this is a good attempt at recreating what I ate from Thai-owned hole-in-the-wall restaurants in Okinawa, Japan. Key to the flavor are the sugar levels, unsalted peanuts, peanut oil, and either oyster or fish sauce.

½ cup rice wine vinegar ; ½ cup white sugar ; ¼ cup oyster sauce ; 2 tablespoons tamarind pulp ; 1 (12 ounce) package dried rice noodles ; cold water, as needed ; ½ cup peanut oil ; 4 eggs ; 1 ½ teaspoons minced garlic ; 12 ounces chicken breast, cut into 1/2-inch strips ; 1 ½ tablespoons white sugar, or more to taste ; 1 ½ teaspoons salt ; 1 ½ cups dry-roasted, unsalted peanuts ; 1 ½ teaspoons dried ground Asian radish ; 1 teaspoon chili powder, or more to taste ; ½ cup chopped fresh chives ; 2 cups fresh bean sprouts ; 1 lime, cut into wedges

Whisk together rice wine vinegar, 1/2 cup sugar, oyster sauce, and tamarind pulp in a saucepan over medium heat until sugar dissolves, about 5 minutes; remove from heat and set aside. Place rice noodles in a large bowl and pour enough cold water to cover noodles. Allow to soften, about 10 minutes. Drain. Heat peanut oil in a wok or large skillet over medium heat. Cook and stir eggs and garlic in hot oil until eggs are softly cooked, 2 to 3 minutes. Stir chicken and noodles into eggs and cook until chicken is no longer pink in the center and juices run clear, about 5 minutes. Pour rice wine vinegar sauce, 1 1/2 tablespoons sugar, and 1 1/2 teaspoons salt into the noodle mixture. Stir peanuts, ground radish, and chili powder into noodle mixture; cook until peanuts soften slightly, about 5 minutes. Add more sugar or chili powder if desired. Remove from heat and toss chives with noodle mixture. Top with bean sprouts and garnish with lime wedges.

Candied Kielbasa

Kielbasa, also called kielbasy or Polish sausage, is a spicy sausage usually made with pork (though beef is sometimes added). It comes in chunky links, and is sold precooked. I haven't met anyone yet who didn't like this dish. I even like it and I really don't care for kielbasa that much! Another bonus is that it is easy to make, and is yet another recipe for your slow cooker.

1 cup packed brown sugar ; ½ cup ketchup ; ¼ cup prepared horseradish ; 2 pounds kielbasa sausage, sliced thin

In a slow cooker combine the sugar, ketchup and horseradish. Add the sausage, and mix well. Cook on High until it starts to boil. Reduce heat to Low, and cook until sauce thickens, about 45 minutes to 1 hour.

If you want the yummy taste of a slowly baked potato but aren't patient enough, or don't have the know-how to bake it in an oven, this is for you. Give it 12 minutes and get a mouth-watering, taste bud-tingling treat.

1 large russet potato ; 1 tablespoon butter or margarine ; 3 tablespoons shredded Cheddar cheese ; salt and pepper to taste ; 3 teaspoons sour cream

Scrub the potato, and prick several time with the tines of a fork. Place on a plate. Cook on full power in the microwave for 5 minutes. Turn over, and continue to cook for 5 more minutes. When the potato is soft, remove from the microwave, and cut in half lengthwise. Season with salt and pepper, and mash up the inside a little using a fork. Top the open sides with butter and 2 tablespoons of cheese. Return to the microwave, and cook for about 1 minute to melt the cheese. Top with remaining cheese and sour cream, and serve.
