This chili is easy to make and can be made on the stovetop or in a slow-cooker. I used leftover BBQ chicken but it would also be good with ground chicken, turkey or beef.

You won’t miss the beef with these turkey burgers that are tender, flavorful and juicy…and easy to throw together. They will be a staple dinner, with or without bacon, for the rest of the summer.

The origins of chicken cordon bleu are unclear but it is thought to be an American dish, not French, as the name implies. I baked the chicken to make the dish lighter, and added a creamy mushroom sauce to complete this rich, comforting (and guilt-free) meal.

These are a staple cookie in my household. They are a crowd-pleaser, easy to make and you can use whatever nuts or flavored morsels you have (such as M&M’s, white chocolate chips or peanut butter chips).

My family has come to the conclusion that the best nachos we’ve ever had are from…home. In our opinion, these nachos are better than restaurant quality because each chip is loaded with toppings so that nobody complains about the pile of plain chips underneath the top layer of nachos. The key is to use homemade guacamole and salsa, and to marinate the chicken. But even if you’re short on time and choose to use store-bought versions of the ingredients, serving “sliders” is a great way to present your nachos.

We liked the carne asada tacos that we made a while ago so much that we decided to make them with chicken. The marinade is very similar to that which we used on the steak. It is such a simple dinner to pull together but the flavors are so satisfying.

Kids love these cookies because they are tasty, colorful and full of M&M’s. Plus, the addition of the oatmeal gives them a chewy texture and a healthy dose of fiber.

Many variations of arroz con pollo can be found throughout Latin America and the Caribbean but some claim that it is the unofficial national dish of Puerto Rico. The dish, literally meaning “rice with chicken,” is thought to have originated in Spain and has definite similarities with the popular Spanish dish, paella. The pimiento-stuffed green olives in this version are a signature addition from Puerto Rico.

Plantains look similar to a banana but they are starchier and not as sweet. They are a popular ingredient in many countries around the world, especially in the tropical regions such as the Caribbean. When simply fried they make a great appetizer or side dish.

One of my favorite comfort foods is mushroom risotto, so when we came home from morel mushroom hunting with a bag of morels, I couldn’t wait to try morel risotto. I happened to have some local asparagus so I added it to the mix.
