Heather's first "broadcast" was in 1980. Cast as the princess in an elementary school production of The Princess and the Frog, her 4th grade class performed the play live for the entire school in an audio-only format. Yep, they did the play on the overhead announcement system. Loving the sound of her own disembodied voice, radio seemed a natural progression once college required a declaration of a major. Radio, in fact, had a lot of things going for it in Heather's mind over the shinier TV option. At a radio station, no one cares if you work on the air without make-up. And no consultant ever tells you that the microphone adds 10 pounds. With her face scrubbed clean and wearing sweatpants, Heather loves every second the On-Air Light is on.
If you serve just one thing on Sunday...make it this delicious dip! In fact, you better go ahead and make two pans. It's that good. Seriously.

1/2 cup blue cheese salad dressing
1/2 cup buffalo wing sauce (I use Frank's RedHot)
1/2 cup each shredded mozzarella and shredded cheddar cheeses
2 cups shredded cooked chicken
Heat oven to 350. Put cream cheese in a deep baking dish and stir until smooth. Mix in blue cheese dressing, buffalo wing sauce and cheese. Stir in chicken. Bake 20 minutes or until heated through; stir. Serve with carrots, celery, tortilla chips and/or crackers!
Don't throw away a tasty opportunity with a simple "heat and serve" attitude! Just a few extra minutes turns your same ol' green beans into Fancy Green Beans...
5 cups frozen French-style green beans
1/4 cup sliced almonds
2 tbsps butter
1/4 tsp dried savory
1 tsp lemon juice
1/4 tsp salt
1/4 tsp cayenne pepper

Surprise your family at dinner tonight--everyone gets their own personal meatloaf! These cups freeze well so go ahead and make a dozen at once. You may not have any leftovers though!!
In a large bowl, combine the egg, pizza sauce, bread crumbs and Italian seasoning. Crumble beef over mixture and mix well. Divide among 12 greased muffin cups; press onto the bottom and up the sides. Fill each center with cheese.
Bake at 375 for 15-18 minutes or until meat is no longer pink. Serve immediately with additional pizza sauce if desired.
**Or let the cups cool and place in freezer bags and freeze for up to 3 months. To use the frozen cups, thaw in the refrigerator for 24 hours. Heat on a microwave safe plate on high for 2-3 minutes or until heated through.
2-1/2 cups all purpose flour
1 tbsp sugar
1-1/2 tsps coarsely ground pepper
1 tsp baking powder

In a large bowl, combine the first six ingredients. In a small bowl, whisk the eggs, yogurt, oil, milk and mustard. Stir into dry ingredients just until moistened. Fold in cheese and onions.
Transfer to a greased 9 in x 5 in loaf pan. Bake at 350 for 45-55 minutes or until a toothpick inserted near the center comes out clean. Cool for 10 minutes before removing from pan to wire rack.
**consider letting this bread "rest" for a day. After it cools, wrap it in foil and refrigerate it overnight. It allows the flavors to blend and it'll be easier to cut.
