The Ultimate Mac And Cheese

Posted by Nancy on November 5th, 2010

This mac-and-cheese makeover has all the comfort and great taste of its predecessors with a substantially more healthful profile. It uses whole-wheat pasta and includes a colorful layer of spinach. It’s also a winner for make-ahead convenience.

RECIPE INGREDIENTS

  • 3 tablespoons plain dry breadcrumbs
  • 1 teaspoon extra-virgin olive oil
  • 1/4 teaspoon paprika
  • 1 16-ounce or 10-ounce package frozen spinach
  • 1 3/4 cups 1% milk, divided
  • 3 tablespoons all-purpose flour
  • 2 cups grated extra-sharp cheddar cheese (6 ounces)
  • 1 cup low-fat (1%) cottage cheese
  • 1/8 teaspoon ground nutmeg

Chile Relleno Casserole

Posted by Nancy on April 13th, 2010

I found this recipe in Eating Well Magazine and tried it last weekend.  I did not make it in the ramekins, simply because I do not have ramekins, and the family is not sophisticated enough to know what they are anyway.  I made this in a 9×13 inch pan and baked it about an hour before serving.  I served with toasted garlic bread and a small green salad.  It was really good re-heated the next day for lunch.

The original recipe called for serving it with Tortilla and corn salsa on the side.

Chicken-Broccoli Casserole

Posted by Nancy on January 5th, 2010

We eat a lot of chicken in this house; at least 3-4 times a week.  So coming up with different ways to cook it, different tastes, and recipes for the leftovers is always a challenge.

I have been making this for a number of years and it is always gone, no leftovers.  I vary the recipe depending on what spices, how much chicken I have left over, vegetables and cheeses.

I have never made the same recipe twice, so it is new everytime!

Green Bean Casserole

Posted by admin on December 15th, 2008

Everyone and their Grandmother has made a Green Bean Casserole at one time in their lives.  Most just put green beans, can of mushroom soup, and top with canned fried onions, put in oven and then they serve.  At least that is how it went in my family and the reason why no one, including myself ever ate it.

Recently I came across this recipe at my favorite recipes site (BHG) and decided to try it.  There was a lot of noses turned up, and a lot of “why?” questions, but in the end everyone did try it and enjoyed it.
