This is an easy way to take inexpensive store-bought dinner rolls and turn them into a delicious bread course suitable for any meal. The purchased rolls are sliced in half and brushed with a compound butter flavored with
rosemary,
sage, and
garlic. They are quickly toasted under the broiler. They taste even better than they look. Feel free to use your favorite herbs.

Americans know this as a spinach
dip in a
bread bowl. In New Zealand and Australia, it is known as a
cob loaf. You can easily vary this recipe by adding chopped
ham or
bacon, various types of shredded
cheeses, and/or your favorite
herbs. It is delicious served as a party
appetizer, but some folks make a meal of it. If you are not a fan of spinach, it may be omitted, but hollow out less of the loaf. This recipe is best made with 1 large cob loaf, but can be made to stretch to 2 small loaves.

Chicken breasts are browned, then baked with an orange
amaretto sauce for an elegant, yet easy main dish. Serve with a
salad and
rice side dish for a complete meal. This is quite easy to make and goes together quickly. I prefer skin-on chicken breasts to keep the white meat from drying out. You may substitute boneless, skinless chicken breasts if you wish. If you use dark chicken pieces, you may need to extend the baking time another 10 to 15 minutes to ensure it is done.

Full of
cheese and eggs, along with vegetables and smoked
turkey, this quiche recipe is filling enough to satisfy the heartiest appetite. Get the smoked turkey from the supermarket deli counter, or use your own homemade. Best of all, this
casserole may be served warm or at room temperature.
