Chicken Parmigiana Pizza

Macaroni & Beer Cheese
We went to an Irish music day at a local brew pub recently and one of the items on the menu was Macaroni and Beer Cheese. Of course my daughter had to try it. She hates the smell of beer, wine, etc… but she loves to have food cooked with them. After tasting it she…

Bacon Balsamic Onion Jam
I have an onion hating daughter who when I told her she would love this was adamant that she would NOT like this and didn’t know why I was making this. I kept telling her she would. Needless to say when we had dinner tonight she was asking for more. Her brother looked at her…
