Cooking with Kids: Ricotta Bake
I love meal ideas that let the kids be involved in the process. This Ricotta Bake by Just Jenn looks tasty and simple to put together. Jenn Says: This is one of my favorite meals. Why? Because I have the kids do most of the work. If your kids are old enough (and you have the right mindset of letting go of mess) why not let the kids mix and stir and pour? It’s a big help in the kitchen and by getting involved – I know my kid…
Quick & Easy: Peanut Chicken Noodles
Sooo… It started when I asked my son “What do you want for dinner tonight?”. Immediate answer: “Macaroni & Cheese” Translation: Bright orange and from a box of course. Confession: I do have a weakness for the boxed Mac & Cheese, and I do make it better than anyone*, but…. it’s not exactly a healthy dinner. I countered with a No on that one, and he says…

Turkey and Spinach Stuffed Shells
I love the Novice Chef… she’s got some great stuff! These stuffed shells are pretty enough to serve at a dinner party, or casual enough to have for dinner any day. And I love the idea of making up a bunch in advance, and tossing them in the freezer to pull out when needed! Quoting the original site: Parsley is a bitch. Ya, I said it. I can’t grow it to save my life. Rosemary? Great. Chives? Awesome. Bas…
Roasted Tomato & Cannellini Bean Chicken
This was one of those meals born of that situation where you just want to make something good with what you have on hand… that “wow, I’ve got all these giant cans of whole tomatoes with basil in my pantry, what can I do with that?” feeling. Chicken leg quarters were on sale the other day, so I bought two large packages. So I had chicken. And I was looking at my collection of canned goo…

Microwave Lasagna
I was flipping through an old issue of Real Simple, and came across this recipe for Microwave Lasagna. Now we’ve posted several lasagna recipes here, but this was a new twist. I was initially skeptical, as my microwave is usually used for heating things up, not actual cooking of meals. But I figured this would be a great week night dinner if it works, so why not try it? Well, I’m hear to report th…
