When I worked in Beverly Hills as a medical assistant, my favorite place to eat when I really wanted comforting home-cooked food wasn’t a fancy restaurant. It was the Brighton Cafe. It was a hole in the wall, with the most delicious meatloaf I have ever eaten, stuffed into a baked potato, filled with avocado, with a dollop of sour cream and hot sauce. The memory makes me salivate.

Happy New Year from Moore or Less Cooking Food Blog!! This is my first post for the New Year 2015. Wow. It doesn’t seem possible! It feels like it just was 2000!
I baked an 8 pound ham the other day, so I had some leftovers. I wanted to create a pasta dish with ham, cheese and onions. So I did some experimenting, and this is what I created!
It is so delicious! With a crunchy cheesy top and creamy pasta with ham and onion casserole. I was all out of small pasta, so I broke up a box of linguini into smaller pieces.
Ingredients are pasta, ham, sharp cheddar cheese, chicken broth, milk, panko crumbs, butter, fresh ground pepper.
Hubs is crazy about ham and my kids are crazy about mac and cheese, so this is the perfect combo! No need to add any salt, the ham gives it the perfect salty flavor.
The great thing about this recipe is that you can use any kind of cheese that you have in the refrigerator, Jack, Muenster, Asiago, Goat, Pepper Jack, or a combo of what tastes good to you!
This casserole reheats very well, it would also be a great idea to bring to a friends house for the holidays or if you would like to share a casserole. Prep is easy and you can have a delicious meal in under and hour.

I had a cold for weeks and then my daughter caught it. We have really just been craving home-made soup.
Since I saved the Turkey bones from Thanksgiving, I thought a big pot of Turkey, Veggies and Rice soup would hit the spot and help those sore throats feel better! There are a few steps, but in the end you will be so happy to have a big bowl of hot Turkey and Rice Soup!

Hi, I am Cydnee, Owner/Proprietor and food blogger of Tampa Cake Girl. I bake and deliver cakes, pies, cupcakes and more to the Tampa Bay Area. I also blog on my page, sharing recipes too. Today I bring you one of my favorites, chicken salad.
Chicken Salad Lettuce Cups
INGREDIENTS:
1 rotisserie chicken, picked clean and shredded
2 green onions, cut with kitchen shears
2 stalks of celery, I cut them with kitchen shears
1 cup of grapes, quartered, I used green seedless, quartered them because they were so large
3/4 cup Craisens
3/4 cup chopped pecans
Bibb lettuce
Mix all together in a large bowl.
Dressing:
Juice of 1 lemon
1/2 cup mayonnaise
1/2 cup sour cream
1/2 teaspoon of dry dill
1/2 teaspoon of salt
1/2 teaspoon of pepper
1 tablespoon of brown sugar
Whisk all ingredients together in a separate bowl. Not all rotisserie chickens are the same size, you do not want to have too much dressing in your chicken salad.
Arrange chicken salad on Bibb lettuce or put on bread for a delicious sandwich. You can make this recipe a day ahead and it will taste even better. Enjoy!

I have joined up with some of the most creative bloggers I know. We bounce ideas off of each other. We are sounding boards. We do not judge. We laugh together about the silliest things. We send virtual hugs all day long if one of us is having a hard day. This is the place I go to first.

Chili should be full of beans and beef with lots of onions. Then it should be covered in cheddar cheese, sour cream, chopped onions and some avocado, just thought I would let you in on one of my secrets!
The weather really started to cool down, so I thought a Big Pot O’ Chili would be wonderful with home made cornbread piping hot out of the oven….. sounds good huh???
I had seen The Pioneer Woman make her famous chili and had to give it a try, we all loved it. Perfect amount of spice, but you can always lick it up a notch with a couple drops of Cholula like I do.
Don’t forget all of the toppings! Great for parties, just put it all in a crockpot on low, let your guests enjoy!
