This is my chicken tortilla soup recipe. Way back when we were still dating my wife Jaime and I took a vacation to Florida to stay at my parents town home in Orlando. We were still living in the north back then, prior to our move to South Carolina. While there, we decided to go try a place we saw by the name of Cracker Barrel. It just so happened that their soup of the day that day was chicken ...

CrockPot Barbecue Chicken Dip
So why CrockPot Barbecue Chicken Dip? Well, one of my favorite recent recipes has been my Queso Dip, which I made for the Super Bowl, and which was so delicious it didn't actually make it until game time.

Chicken Florentine Mac and Cheese with Bacon
Okay, this recipe for Chicken Florentine Mac and Cheese with Bacon was an improvisation. I just went through the fridge and pantry and threw a little something together with the ingredients I found. So what did I find? Well, of course, I had some pasta in the pantry. I also had some shredded cheddar cheese in the fridge left over from the Super Bowl. And I had some frozen chicken breast florentine ...
Spicy Beef Nachos
I made these Spicy Beef Nachos as a snack on Super Bowl Sunday. Great for game day, these nachos were so good they were long gone before the Patriots began their miracle second half comeback. Nachos are truly the ultimate comfort snack food. I love a little zing, so for me fresh jalapenos slices are an absolute must. I don't necessarily want every jalapeno slice to be super hot, so for some of ...
