This recipe is similar to the fiery hamburger soup.

Chicken Medeira Copycat Recipe

This is my go-to order at Cheesecake Factory. I really like the cheesiness of this dish. Have not tried the at-home copy cat recipe yet.

Rhubarb Cake

Not sure where this recipe came from or which grandmother. I seem to have quite a few recipes with rhubarb.

Potato and Ham Casserole

This potato and ham casserole also has peas, celery, onions, and cheese.

Torte

The title of this recipe is “torte” but it isn’t really a torte. It isn’t really a pavlova either. Trying to find a recipe just like this one is impossible. But this is a traditional Christmas dessert in my family. It requires a DOZEN eggs. When it bakes, it ends up with a nice crunchy coating. It is covered with whipped cream.

Dressing

This dressing (or sometimes I call stuffing, but we have never actually stuffed a turkey with it!) gets a nice crisp top and sides which is my favorite part. Also a recipe that does not truly have measurements and is done by taste.

Grits Soufflé

This souffle uses grits, garlic cheese roll (I don’t actually know what that is!), egg, and butter/margarine.
