Chicken Cordon Bleu ala Brights

I'm a big fan of well used recipes. Recipes that you learned years and years ago that you know so well you can throw them together without even thinking about it. Meals that over time have become a staple of your household. 

This is one of those recipes for me. Chicken Cordon Bleu is a classic french dish and it is easy to see why. Chicken, ham, melted cheese? Sold. Plus it is way easier than is seems so it is a great dish to pull out when you want to impress but don't want all of the stress.  We update the classic a bit by doing away with the old swiss and kicking up the ham.

Cajun Mac and Cheese

We're big Mac and Cheese fans in this house. Soft pasta, ooey gooey cheese, what's not to love? We are always on the lookout for new ways to spice up a favorite recipe. We came across this recipe by Rachel Ray and decided it was worth a try.
