This zesty sauce works well with grilled chicken and more. I especially like using it for BBQ-Chicken Pizza.

This recipe — which requires a bread machine — is my go-to dough for all kinds of homemade pizzas. Alter the flavor by adding spices of your choosing to the dry ingredients.

In our house, this cake is known as "Christmas Cake" because I always make it for our Christmas breakfast (to go with our Breakfast Pizza). Throughout the years I've varied the berries, depending on what's available, what sounds good at the time. You can also add banana slices to the layers (just be sure to dunk them in lemon juice first so they don't turn brown).

These bars are incredibly delicious, so much so that I made and sent them in care packages to the girls during their college years. The first time, I frosted them before mailing, which meant the girls pretty much just licked the frosting off the plastic wrap that covered the bars when they opened their package o' love. After that, I sent the bars unfrosted and included a container of store-bought cream cheese frosting for them to frost the bars themselves. Frosted or not, these bars taste like "home."

This bread is everything banana bread should be: golden and crunchy on the outside; moist, dense and flavorful on the inside. Jim doesn't like bananas or anything that tastes remotely close to bananas, so this treat is mine and mine alone. (Okay, I share with anyone else in the house who wants a piece, but luckily that's only Brianna most of the time.)
