So Long ~ Farewell ~ from Pam's Midwest Kitchen Korner

 

After more than 11 years, 

Pam’s Midwest Kitchen Korner 

is calling it a day.  

 

I don’t want to do a disappearing act, all is well, and after over 11 wonderful years of blogging it’s time to say good-bye!

 

Homemade Jalapeño Cheddar Bread

 

Olé!  Spice it Up!

 

 

A slice of this bread will awaken your senses and please your palate!  

 

It's Springtime Pasta Bake

 

Here’s a delicious veggie-loaded pasta bake that's perfect for a springtime meal!  

 

Delicious!

It’s a great dish for the nights you want to go meatless.

 

Chicken Vesuvio ~ a Chicago Specialty!

 

Chicken that's “Vesuvioed,” tastes better than you could ever imagine!  It’s a meat-and-potatoes dish from meat-and potatoes Chi-Town, it’s indigenous to Chicago.

 

Ummm, mmm!  Delicious!

It's still a little chilly and rainy so this dish hit the spot!

 

Basic Banana Muffins

 

These banana muffins are  buttery, moist 

and packed with that 

great banana flavor.  

 

The muffins won’t taste banana-y enough if over-ripe bananas aren’t used, the ones with brown spots on the peel. 

 

Broken Spaghetti in Garlic-Butter and Parmesan Sauce

 

Hankering for a big, full bowl of pasta smothered in a creamy garlic-butter and Parmesan sauce?   

 

 

If so, I’ve got a great recipe for you!

 

Easy Chicken Rice and Mushroom Bake

 

What’s not to like about a one-pan meal that makes a weeknight supper deliciously doable with little prep time and minimal clean-up.

 

 

Rice is combined with cream of chicken soup, mushrooms, paprika and seasoned pepper, then nestled in chicken breasts and baked.  Can’t get much easier than that ~ it’s a tasty delicious moist and tender dish!

Beefy Sour Cream Noodle Bake

 

It’s Spring, but it's still chilly rainy here and here’s a classic recipe that may be the epitome of comfort food for this weather!  It’s a layered combination of meatiness, cheesiness and creaminess!

 

 

Beefy Sour Cream Noodle Bake is a mouthwatering hearty dish of ground beef, tomato sauce and egg noodles combined; a layer of cottage cheese, sour cream and green onions, topped with a layer cheddar cheese.  Simple ingredients that most people like.  

Orange Roasted Salmon with Caper Sauce, Delicious!!!

 

Salmon is my favorite fish and I’m always watching for another good salmon recipe. 

We enjoy it frequently and I was 

more than happy with this recipe!

 

The smooth caper sauce is an easy one to make that’s filled with great flavor that complements the salmon perfectly.  In fact, it would probably be great with any white fish, a good way to add something special to the fish.  

 

It's Sausage Gravy and Biscuits Time

 

I remember the commercials on TV with the catchy little song way back when we’d visit Mom and Dad after they retired and moved back to Ohio:  

“Bob Evans, down on the farm..."

 

Fiesta Tortilla-Shrimp Casserole for Dinner!

 

If you’re hooked on  Mexican-inspired flavors and shrimp,  I’ve got the perfect dish for your dinner!

 

You may think this casserole that's loaded with shrimp, tortillas, corn, and green salsa is a bit strange with its mix of ingredients, but it’s truly delicious.  

 

Irish Apple Cake for St. Paddy's Day!

 

The sweet juicy apples nestled in the 

delicious cake 

made a big hit here!

 

 

That awesome crumbly struesel topping makes the cake a glorious treat to enjoy with a "cuppa" to soothe your nerves any time!

Dolly Parton and Her Casserole

                                                 

She's a country music singer, guitarist, philanthropist, and actress known for pioneering the country-pop crossover.

 

Creamy Green Chile Corn Pudding

 

This great savory  

side dish is a cross between 

cornbread and a soufflé.

 

Green chiles give this creamy dish a Southwest twist that you can't go  wrong with. 

 

Cheesy Chicken and Rice Bake

What’s not to like about 

white-meat-chicken ~ 

smothered in melted cheddar ~

resting on a bed of creamy rice and vegetables?

 

I did a great job of hiding the chicken.  😉  It's cheesy delicious!

 

 

 

Hail to the “one-dish” meal!

 

Martha Hall Foose’s Bacon Crackers for Super Bowl LV

 

Super Bowl LV!

                                

Mahomes vs Brady

Cheater’s Lasagna should be 

the name for this dish!
