Ceasar Salad

Ceasar salads are one of my favorite types of salads.  Either eating in as a meal or a side salad, you cannot go wrong with a ceasar salad. I love that you can put chicken in it, or even shrimp or steak. Once in a while it is good to take a break from all the heavy meals and get a nice salad, and a ceasar salad would be the perfect choice.

The perfect side dish...has to be french fries.  Though there is not that much variety in how french fries are made, they can be very different from other ones. You can get Skinny fries, fat fries, waffle fries, steak fries, and many more.  And every french fry taste different depending on what kind of sauce you dip them in or if you eat them plain.

Sausage and Peppers

Sausage and peppers are a great dish to make on any occasion. Whether you put them over past, on a roll, or eat them by themselves they are a delicious meal to make for friends and family. For any type of sausage you use to make this meal there is a corresponding sauce to go along with it.

Shrimp Scampi

I love seafood and shrimp scampi is a great seafood dish. It has a light sauce that goes very well with the shrimp. Seafood may not be for everyone but I encourage everyone to try this dish at least once, it is very delicious.

Brownies

Brownies are awesome, there's no doubt about that. There are so many amazing recipes out there for brownies and every one is a little different. One of the amazing thing about brownies is that there is a lot of different twists to the original brownie. Whether you throw some chocolate chips in them, m&ms, you could make black bottom brownies, or s'more brownies, even vanilla brownies (aka blondies). Brownies are a perfect dessert.

Penne alla Vodka

Penne alla Vodka is one my personal favorite dishes to get at any Italian Restaurant. Though it is very filling it is very delicious. I have yet to have ordered a plate of penne alla vodka and not liked it, I recommend ordering this or making this meal for your family whenever you get the chance.

Pierogies

Pierogies are noodles stuffed with potatoes and cheese. Different nationalties have different ways of making pierogies, and different suaces to put on top. When I make pierogies I typically just make them with mashed potatoes and cheese inside then put butter over them when they are cooked. Pierogies in any type of sauce though I'm sure would taste good.
