My favorite things to cook are usually classic comfort foods with my own little flare.
My take on chicken cacciatore is always a big hit. My Alfredo lasagna is a common request among family for holidays. I do either a vegetarian or a seafood version. Stuffed mushrooms are always a hit too.
But my favorite has got to be my baked Mac and cheese. Since Katie doesn't like spicy food at all I always make a regular and a buffalo chicken Mac(using chix thighs).
One of my secrets....smoked gouda. Not a ton, but enough so you get just enough of the smokey flavor. I usually use cheddar, American, mozzarella, parmesan, gouda and sometimes provolone or Monterey jack if I've got some on hand. I usually use Ritz crackers to top the plain and cheez-its to top the buffalo.
