Fiesta Chili Mac
One of the things I enjoy most about cooking and baking is taking a recipe and “making it my own.” And that’s exactly what I was asked to do with a few recipes from Ragù! It was fun creating this “New Tra-Dish” Fiesta Chili Mac using Ragù® Old World Style® Traditional Pasta Sauce. Each jar of this…

Pepperoni Pizza Pasta Casserole
This is a great casserole for people who are pizza-lovers! I thought I’d try a Pizza Spaghetti Casserole recipe I found at MyRecipes, but instead of using pork sausage in it, I used extra pepperoni and cheese so it would taste more like a pepperoni cheese pizza, which is my favorite kind! You can use…

Mushroom-Smothered Burgers
I’m not a big beef eater, but when I saw this recipe I had to try it! I found it at Campbell’s Kitchen, and it sounded good, quick, and easy. I love mushrooms and the words Mushroom-Smothered sure caught my attention! 🙂 When I do cook with beef, I like to use lean beef that is free of hormones…

Kris’ Sausage Potato Bake
One day at work, Matt was telling me about a great dinner his wife Kris had made. He described all the good, healthy things that were in this dish…red potatoes, sweet potatoes, bell pepper, onion, turkey sausage…it really sounded good! He and Kris gave me the recipe, and it took me awhile to get around…

Stuffed Cheeseburgers
Father’s Day just seems like a good day to post a burger recipe, since lots of dads love grilling burgers in the summer months! And for a change of pace I made Stuffed Cheeseburgers!

Black Bean, Sweet Corn and Feta Tacos from Mary McCartney’s FOOD
One of the reasons I was interested in reviewing FOOD: Vegetarian Home Cooking is because I’ve gradually been eating less meat and more veggies, but it can be challenging to make interesting veggie meals. I’ve never actually been a big meat-eater, but I do crave a juicy burger now and then! I may crave one less…

Caprese Tart
If you like Caprese Salad or Margherita Pizza, you’ll want to try this tart! It has sliced mozzarella, tomatoes, and basil in it–yum! This summer, I’ve been wanting to make some sort of a tomato tart and I came up with the idea of making a Caprese Tart! If tomatoes, basil, and mozzarella are so good…

Greek-Style Turkey Burgers and Tomato-Feta Salad with Olives
Not long ago, I made a seasoned turkey burger for the first time, and I really liked it! A little later, I came across several different Greek-style turkey burger recipes. Since I love most Greek food, I definitely wanted to try this idea out! I created my own recipe, inspired by the other recipes I…

Trieste’s Seasoned Turkey Burger and Homemade Cajun Spice Blend
The other week, as we were heating up our lunches in the little kitchen area at work, Trieste told me about a really good turkey burger she had made. I had never made a turkey burger myself…I’m not sure why—I guess I just think of beef when it comes to burgers, and never thought about…

Green Rice Casserole with Chicken
My friend Ann gave me this delicious recipe. This is a meal in itself, but it also makes a great side dish. It has chopped broccoli, rice, onion, cheddar cheese, and chicken as some of the ingredients. So you get your veggies and protein. Just add a side salad and you have something really tasty…

Mediterranean Blend Veggies with Fresh Lemon Dressing and Southwestern Blend Veggies ‘n Chicken
I made these delicious and healthy organic veggies the other day, using the Whole Foods Market 365 Everyday Value Mediterranean Blend frozen vegetables. I added a Fresh Lemon Dressing on top, which was a nice lemony, tangy, finishing touch. I also made this yummy chicken and veggie dish with the organic Southwestern Blend frozen vegetables, also from Whole Foods.
