Polenta is a dish common in Italy, consisting of boiled, coarsely ground cornmeal. Originally, it was made of other grains as well. It is often confused with or compared to grits.

It is also cooled and solidified so it can be sliced and fried....
American immigrant haluski is made with ingredients that were easier to find in the US and often use noodles. This recipe is an easy version of Haluski that is made in the style of US immigrants. It’s not an authentic version of Haluski that you’d find in Eastern Europe as many of those ingredients just aren’t common in the United States. Slovak-style haluski uses cheese, while other Eastern European nations like Poland and Ukraine do not usually use cheese....
I’ve got you pounding out a chicken breast and pan frying it to keep it nice and easy. To do this I like to put the chicken breast between two sheets of plastic wrap.

Seriously, why isn’t this a thing already?...

What is a springform pan and where do I buy one? Should I use vanilla extract or a vanilla bean? Vanilla beans produce the best flavor when it comes to making cheesecake. Vanilla beans are easy to work with. Simply slice in half lengthwise, and use the edge of your knife to scrape out all of the insides directly into your cake batter. While flavorful, vanilla beans can also be tremendously expensive....
Baking Soda and Baking Powder: We have found that a blend of baking soda and baking powder is best in this recipe. We do not recommend substituting to only use one or the other. Be sure to add both! Egg Substitute: The best egg substitute that won’t change the flavor or texture of quick bread is a commercial egg-replacement product at your local grocery store. You should be able to find this near the eggs or in your store’s refrigerated vegetarian section....
You have a lot of sausage options when it comes to sausage gravy, and we prefer ground sausage. Use country style ground sausage for a plain option, or flavor things up with something like maple and sage ground sausage or a spicy Italian ground sausage. Pick a flavor that sounds good to you.

It’s a little bit sweet and a little bit savory and packs a lot of flavor!...
Storage and Reheating Instructions: Meat Options for Taco Casserole: We love to keep tacos classic with ground beef, but you could really replace it with any ground meat.

Whichever meat you choose, you can’t go wrong! Green Chiles and Spice Level: Green chiles are typically sold in tiny cans in the Mexican food aisle of your grocery store....
