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

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!

Chicken and Salsa

Posted by Nancy on November 9th, 2009

I like simple recipes. Recipes that don’t take hours to cook, a lot of ingredients and uses household items we already have.

I am sure some of you know this method of cooking chicken, but for those of you who don’t…well I will just say you are missing a wonderful way to cook chicken. Whether you like chicken breasts, thighs, or legs this recipe is good with all. I like to de-bone my pieces first, it makes it easier to eat when it is done.
