Family Favorites

This cookbook features a variety of chapters, including Breakfast for Dinner, Sammies and Wraps, Meatless Mainstays, Lotsa Pasta, Chicken Classics and so much more. Pick a chapter and leaf through the pages to find a new family favorite.

My family loves this recipe for Bucatini with Sausage and Kale. With only four ingredients you can make a hearty, satisfying dinner for your crew. This 30-minute meal is affordable, easy to put together and quick to get on the table.

And remember to put your own spin on recipes by using what you have on hand or what your family likes most. Don’t have kale in the refrigerator, use spinach or frozen peas instead. Don’t have sausage, use ground turkey or chicken as a substitution.

If you look in the Sammies and Wraps section on page 128, you’ll find my recipe for Buffalo Chicken Crunch Wraps. It’s a recipe that I created for my daughter-in-law. Her love for spicy chicken dishes inspired me to make this easy crunch wrap made in a panini press. It’s crunchy and delicious!

Recipes Made Your Way

Do you have a favorite kitchen appliance? I like using my slow cooker in the winter and the outdoor grill and air fryer in the summer. In the “What’s For Dinner?” Cookbook, you’ll find recipes made with all of your favorite kitchen appliances.

Most cooks have slow cookers, air fryers and Instant Pots in their kitchen. Here’s a few recipes from this cookbook that I’ve made in the pressure cooker. Pressure-Cooker Penne with Meat Sauce, Pressure-Cooker Thai Sweet Chili Pork Bowls, Pressure-Cooker Tequila Salsa Chicken, and Pressure-Cooker Garden Chicken Cacciatore are just a few of our favorites.

Using a favorite appliance makes mealtime more fun and appealing. Making meals in a pressure cooker or Instant Pot can make dinners come together in a fraction of the time compared to using your oven or stovetop.

Be sure to take a look at all the recipes in the chapter titled Slow-Cooked, Air-Fried & Instant Pot Entrees. You’ll find so many great new recipes and you’ll surely want to make one for dinner tonight!
