Tex-Mex Pork Chops
This is a quick, one-skillet dish with an ole' touch!
Stovetop Shepherd's Pie
This recipe is ideal for when the weather turns cooler. It even comes with a bonus; you can use up almost any leftover veggies, chicken, or turkey that you have in the fridge to make a "stick-to-your-ribs" meal.
Spinach with Bacon and Mushrooms
Spinach is a delicate green, so it cooks quickly. Saute the leaves just long enough to wilt them; if you cook them too long, you'll ruin their color and fresh taste. The bacon and mushrooms enhance the slightly bitter flavor of the spinach.
Ricotta-Filled Blintzes
These blintzes are wonderful as a dessert or for a sweet Sunday brunch treat. Unfilled crepes can be wrapped securely and frozen for up to 3 months, or refrigerated for 2 days. Filled crepes may be chilled.
Raisin Bread
Nothing beats the warm smell of a freshly baked loaf of bread, always a favorite at breakfast or as a snack. Indulge in a slice of this hearty raisin bread, spread with just a touch of margarine or jam. (Be sure to add in the appropriate exchange for the spread you choose.)
Pasta Primavera
Primavera means "spring-style", and the bright, festive colors of the fresh vegetables used in this dish certainly reflect the season. If you're in a time crunch, consider buying precut vegetables from the salad bar. They're more expensive but can be worth if from a time perspective.
New Shu Pork
This lighter version of mu shu pork is good with steamed rice and broccoli.
Mushroom Risotto
Arborio rice is a special Italian rice used to make risotto. Its higher starch content gives a rich, creamy texture unlike that of other rice varieties. Wild mushrooms imbue the dish with a rich, earthy flavor.
Moroccan Tuna Steaks with Herb Salsa
Healthy and delicious, this is sure to please even the pickiest eater. If you can't get fresh tuna steaks, substitute drained, canned tuna and serve this recipe as a cold dish.
Mediterranean Fettucine with Shrimp
This quick dish tastes like it took hours to prepare.
