My inspiration for this pimento cheese pasta frittata was a combination of macaroni and cheese and pimiento dip. It's a great way to use up leftover pasta and can be served for any meal. —Margee Berry, White Salmon, Washington

Croque-madame takes grilled ham and cheese to the next level. Ham and Gruyere cheese are layered between thick slices of country bread and toasted in a skillet. Then the sandwiches are topped with Mornay sauce and more cheese and broiled until golden and bubbly. If you stop there, you've got a croque-monsieur; add a fried egg on top and that makes a croque-madame! These sandwiches are perfect for a special breakfast or brunch. —Taste of Home Test Kitchen

Focaccia is one of my favorite bread recipes. It's one of the least labor-intensive since there isn't any kneading. The dough is very wet, which is perfect for a tender, yet chewy, bread with a very distinct salt bite. —James Schend, Dairy Freed

My husband's grandmother gave me this corn pone recipe years ago. She always made it with bacon drippings—which is heavenly—but if you're trying to be a little more health-conscious, you can use canola oil or a combination of the two. I cook it until it's crisp almost all the way through. It's delicious hot, warm or cold. —Tina Quiggle, LaGrange, Georgia

When I ate bananas Foster the first time, it reminded me of this dish. The concept is the same—sliced bananas with a very sweet sauce. However, the bananas used are plantain bananas, and instead of rum to enhance the sauce, this dessert uses creamy coconut milk. —Loanne Chiu, Fort Worth, Texas
