Phenomenal Polish Smoked Sausage Soup, properly called “White Borscht,” is a kielbasa soup, heavy with root vegetables (including potatoes, but not beets), mushrooms, and topped off with a dollop of sour cream (and perhaps a hard-boiled (Easter) egg). Great recipe. Reheats well.

This recipe for Graham Cracker Chicken produces tender and juicy – and savory – results. It’s not at all sweet, nor does it taste like graham. It just tastes like incredibly good, well-seasoned chicken. It’s serious, everyday, comfort food cooking.
This Kentucky Bourbon Alfredo uses a cheese sauce who’s main ingredient is Kentucky Bourton Bellavitano (which is a cheddar-Parmesan hybrid). Not comfort-foody enough, pasta lover? The recipe also calls for mushrooms and chicken … it’s gonna put you down.
