Chicken Tortilla Soup
A Southwestern specialty with a little kick to it and tons of flavors.
Southwest White Chicken Chili
Another good one for cold weather, this recipe is enough for 8-10 people. It doesn’t look like your typical beef-based chili but carries a lot of flavor and is great for chicken lovers.

Wanna feed a lot of mouths with something hearty and with a little kick? This jambalaya recipe makes enough for 8-10 people and is moderately spicy as described.
Chicken Enchiladas
Thanks to Kelly for this recipe that makes enough for about 6-8 people. Two preparation methods are described. The rolled method takes longer but is more “familiar” to most people, with each enchilada rolled in its own tortilla. The layered method is ideal when you don’t have as much preparation time available and generally follows the concept of layered lazagna
Gramma Toni’s Shrimp Dip
My mother used to make this shrimp dip for Super Bowl parties. The recipe makes ~1.5 quarts, which is enough for 8-12 people to munch on as an appetizer. It refrigerates very well – getting even better on the second day after all the flavors fully combine
Pat’s Marinated Cheese
Thanks to aunt Pat for this appetizer recipe. It’s great as for parties, football games or holiday dinners. And the marinade is so awesome you might find the guests secretly trying to drink it.

Thanks to mom and uncle Don for passing down this Italian family tradition. Like most gnocchi’s, this is a potato-based pasta, which means it’s easy to get stuffed on a smaller portion. The recipe makes ~6 adult servings. Also a warning that this recipe takes quite a bit of preparation time, so plan accordingly.

Eggs in a Hole
This recipe is so simple it doesn’t really merit the space given to it. But it has sort of become a family tradition for Mother’s Day and Father’s Day since it’s easy enough for elementary age kids to make with a little supervision and then serve as a breakfast-in-bed surprise.
