Hearty Mac & Cheese

February16

Another great recipe from Simple & Delicious magazine (February/March 2011 issue) and it all starts with a box of mac ‘n’ cheese. This recipe is pretty quick and easy to follow and it makes a great, comforting, casserole.

Strawberry Cheesecake Minis

February14

This recipe is from the Dec/Jan 2006 issue of Light & Tasty magazine. They’re pretty good, but I do get a hint of the artificial sweetener as a slight aftertaste so next time I may omit the Splenda and increase the sugar to 3/4 cup. I might also cut the Nilla wafers and try graham cracker crumbs instead.

Mediterranean Roasted Salmon

February14

This recipe is from the Feb/Mar 2011 issue of Simple & Delicious magazine. I served it with the Lemon-Feta Angel Hair from the same issue. My husband, who does not care for salmon, said he really likes the sauce on this.

Lemon-Feta Angel Hair

February14

This recipe comes from the Feb/Mar 2011 issue of Simple & Delicious magazine. I paired it with the Mediterranean Roasted Salmon recipe from the same issue and they were terrific together.

Beef & Sausage Lasagna

February14

This is a “makeover” recipe from the Feb/Mar 2011 issue of Healthy Cooking magazine. It’s not the best lasagna I’ve ever had, but it tastes quite good and I love that it was pretty easy to make and quick to assemble.

Easy Knoephla Soup

February6

I love knoephla soup, preferably GOOD knoephla soup…and this recipe makes just that! Using store-bought frozen dumplings makes this recipe super-easy. This recipe was adapted from the recipe on the dumpling package.

Easy Tortellini Soup

January31

This recipe is from the Feb/March 2011 issue of Healthy Cooking magazine and all I can say is “YUM!” This recipe is so simple to make and so delicious! Even better, the husband said he really liked it!

White Chili With A Kick

January29

This recipe is adapted from the Dec/Jan 2011 issue of Simple & Delicious. This chili is great! It really does have a kick…in the future I will probably decrease the cumin and chili powder a bit so it’s not so spicy for the little guy.

Banana Pudding Dessert

January29

This recipe is adapted from one that was shared on the WW recipe review board. It’s yummy and the entire family liked it. I did have trouble with the crust not staying in place…may have to try something different next time, but it was still delicious.

Tex Mex Chili Bake

January29

This recipe is from Eat What You Love. I liked that it was easy to make and came together quickly…and it was good! The original recipe says 4 servings…huge servings. Will easily make 6 servings if you’re also serving a salad or side. I served with lite sour cream and salsa.
