This was one of my husband's favorite meals when he was a kid. He remembers always ordering it at Mexican restaurants. It's a new meal for me. But, what's not to love?! Bacon makes everything better. And it's a fun presentation for kids.

The day after we had corned beef hash for dinner we made corned beef sandwiches for lunch with the leftover meat. I think we'll be having these again sometime in the near future because we definitely can't wait until next March!

The following recipe is my family's take on loaded baked potato skins. The beauty of this appetizer is that you can load them up with whatever you would like: cheese, bacon, sour cream, salsa, chili, guacamole, you name it. It is also a meal where the whole family can get involved. Everyone can "load" their own potato skins.

Cauliflower and cheese is the British take on the popular comfort food: macaroni and cheese. What a clever way to disguise cauliflower. We recently had some friends over for dinner and I made this dish...nobody missed the pasta! I can't wait to try this with broccoli, carrots and other vegetables. What veggies wouldn't be good with a cheesy Mornay sauce?!

Your kids will be excited to find a treasure of cheese inside each meatball. Use different types of cheeses so that each meatball is a surprise.

If you thought the Crôque-Monsieur was as deluxe as a grilled ham and cheese sandwich could get, think again! Put a fried egg on top and you have a Crôque-Madame.

The crôque-monsieur is symbolic of French fast food and is a deluxe grilled ham and cheese sandwich. "Crôquer" is French for "to crunch" and "Monsieur" is "Mister." So literally translated it would be something like "Mister Crunchy." Call it what you will, this grilled ham and cheese sandwich topped with a creamy white cheese sauce is rich and hearty and surprisingly easy to make.

Mornay sauce is essentially Béchamel sauce with cheese and some seasonings. French sauces have a mystique about them and trying to make them has always seemed like a daunting task to me. However, I have recently discovered that at least the roux, béchamel and mornay sauces are surprisingly simple to make.

This layered bean dip is always a crowd-pleaser at parties. At its most basic it is a 5-layer dip but it can easily become a 7-layer dip if you add multiple toppings with the cheese.
