My company had a Mardi Gras party and I wanted to make a flavorful red beans and rice recipe that everyone would love!

A baked pasta casserole filled with ground beef, tomato sauce, and cheese. A Midwestern favorite with layers of savory flavors and nostalgia.

Hearty and rustic, this pasta combines tender noodles with creamy cannellini beans, olive oil, garlic, and herbs—perfect for a wholesome, meatless Tuscan dinner.

My neighbor taught me this recipe for thyme rice when I was young. It is very good and goes with any chicken dish. Even my picky 4-year-old eater eats it!

A filling orzo rice side dish that is great with chicken. It is a real family favorite in our house.

A rich and creamy mac and cheese with a special twist—featuring bold cheeses and possibly some secret ingredients. A comforting classic reimagined with flair.

This vegetable fried rice combines the nutty flavor of brown rice with the fresh taste of bell peppers, baby peas, and other vegetables.

This hibachi-style fried rice recipe is quick and easy and sure to be a big hit. One of my favorite parts of hibachi is the fried rice and I was determined to make it at home. I enjoy using leftover teriyaki chicken in my fried rice, but you can use any meat you want or no meat at all! With or without chicken it is equally as delicious and a great side dish. You can use more or less garlic, depending on your personal preference.

Leftover brown rice is reborn in this chicken fried rice with garlic, peppers, and onions. You can use black pepper, paprika, or dried parsley to season after this is cooked.

I've come to find out that cherry cola makes an incredibly delicious rack of ribs, which strangely enough, don't really taste like either cherry or cola, but taste very similar to your All-American Midwest-style barbecue.

My mom is from Nuevo Laredo, Mexico and this is how she has been making rice all her life. One day I finally stopped and measured the amounts she used while cooking. In my view this is the perfect Mexican rice. It's not too greasy or dry, nice color, and great flavor. The Serrano pepper will add flavor but no heat to this recipe since it is used whole and not chopped. If you would like spicy Mexican rice, de-seed and chop the Serrano before adding it to the mix.
