Company coming into town for the holiday? Need to feed an army? You almost can’t make a cheaper breakfast than pancakes. Everybody loves pancakes. The only trick is having enough of them done at one time so everyone can sit down and eat together. I got one word for you: sheet pan. That’s right, I can’t count, but I do know the value of sheet pans. As you finish cooking some cakes, transfer them to a sheet pan and keep them in a warm oven. You will have a mountain of flapjacks to serve all at once.

Three Ingredient Quick Snack
What a great ‘go-to’ snack. I keep Central Market tortillas in my freezer, so I always have them on hand. We always have cheese in the fridge, my wife makes sure. That is almost all you need to make Quesadillas. Plus, maybe, an open flame and a pan. I usually scrounge around and find some leftover onions or chicken or something to spice it up. Very satisfying, very easy.
Whole Wheat Tortillas, Tillamook Mild Cheddar Cheese, Minced Grilled Chicken, Chili Powder
Roasted Potatoes
Sometimes a side dish is all you need. I was going to make a steak with these potatoes, but the steak got scared. Yeah, real scared.
Piling It On
I’m a big believer in less is more when it comes to pizza. But, lets face it, you have to put something on it. Cheese, that’s going to be on there. Definitely Mozzarella. Parmesan adds an interesting twist. Just don’t go too crazy.
Ate It To Death
Frightening how much I liked this salad. I don’t know why this isn’t a more common salad made at home. If you already make your own dressings, this one isn’t that much more complicated.
The First Thing I Cooked
Potato and Leek soup was one of the fist things I ever cooked. I figured, two ingredients, what could go wrong? Well, I neglected to add any salt. It could have been worse, I could have over-salted it. Lesson learned.Since this soup is so simple, I try to make the croutons as special as possible. These were sprinkled with garlic and onion powders and fried in olive oil.
