If you've never tasted fresh mozzarella before, you're in for a treat. This delicate cheese has a light flavor and soft texture, unlike the more familiar shreddable "pizza" mozzarella.
These are perfect zesty tidbits to serve before a meal--or anytime. Our savory version of this classic Italian treat gets its zingy flavor from sharp cheddar cheese and jalapeno chiles.
Chicken breast and chopped broccoli combine with a tangy soup-based cream sauce and tender noodles in this potluck-style dish.
Canned soup, mayonnaise, and cheese combine for an easy-to-fix sauce in this curry-accented chicken dish.

Serve these jumbo dogs with whole pickled peppers as they often do in Chicago.

Coconut on the inside gives these cookies a chewy center while the sunflower kernels ensure a satisfying crunch on the outside.
