Manicotti with French Bread
Beginning with homemade tomato sauce, this hand-rolled pasta is created from traditional Italian ingredients: basil, parsley, garlic, olive oil, and four cheeses. The perfect blend of these ingredients combine to achieve a rich, classic Italian dish that is both delicate and completely satisfying. Partnered with my subtle, succulent garlic bread, gently broiled to create a crunchy outside and soft interior, this meal is outstanding.

Loaded Baked Potato Soup
Bread
This salute to the mighty potato is my favorite soup. The name pretty much says it all. Using the potato in four different ways, I add bacon, onion, and garlic to create a thick, creamy soup that lusciously melts in your mouth. Use your bread to wipe your bowl clean so as not to miss a drop!
PS. Let me know your preference...white or wheat bread.

Chicken Marsala
Lightly buttered egg noodles provide a delicate base for this meal. Tender, lightly-breaded chicken cutlets top the noodles. A lovely bacon/mushroom marsala sauce, made from a few simply ingredients, tops off this impeccable, wildly-popular dish.

Meatloaf
Garlic Mashed Red Potatoes
Forget all of the "common" stereotypes and preconceived notions you've ever heard about meatloaf. I use fresh, quality ingredients (including two types of meat), combined with a creative baking method to create a delicious meatloaf that is moist rather than dry, delectable rather than tough, and completely infused with flavor. Topped with a sauce that is both sweet and tangy, this meatloaf is a fan favorite! The garlic mashed red potatoes are the perfect side dish to round out this hearty meal.
