I love macaroni and cheese and this dish is probably one, if not the best, comfort food I could eat all year round. Occasionally you need to kick up your macaroni and cheese by adding a special ingredient like seafood. Ina Garten has upgraded the typical mac and cheese by adding lobster to it. Lobster is pretty … Continue reading
This is a tomato pasta dish usually prepared with pasta, olive oil, fresh tomatoes, basil and any other seasonings you might add, such as Parmesan Cheese. The one special ingredient in this recipe is black garlic, or as I like to call it, “black gold”. This is the first time I have used this amazing … Continue reading
This was the main course on New Year’s Eve in my home. I have so many shrimp recipes, did I really need another one? The answer was yes as it was different from any I have already posted. Then it was one of Ina’s recipes, I have all 9 cookbooks of hers, will I ever … Continue reading
This is the last fresh tomato sauce from my small garden for the 2014 growing season here in Michigan. I have had a bumper crop of tomatoes and my herbs always do well. I have been busy using tomatoes with veggies, salads and sauces or just eating them on their own. My herbs, such … Continue reading
There are so many good Weight Watcher’s recipes available and this is my third recipe where pasta and broccoli are combined in a “healthy” sauce. Pasta + broccoli + cheese sauce – yes I do like this trio together! I have been using a new pasta called Cavatappi that I like a lot as … Continue reading

It is always fun to look at an old recipe and wonder where it came from. My old recipe file created by Gene had me list each pasta recipe with pas1, pas2, and so on. This was my first pasta recipe I recorded which tells me I have had it quite awhile. If a recipe was an appetizer … Continue reading
This is a very good combination with the pasta, chicken, artichokes and Parmesan cheese. The original recipe called for brined artichokes but I found it was too salty for this dish. There is enough salt in the chicken broth and Parmesan. I prefer this pasta recipe with the Parmesan and chicken broth sauce (adding some chopped basil) … Continue reading
This is another good basic Weight Watcher’s pasta casserole with lean ground turkey, peppers and onions, penne, marinara sauce and cheese.
This is a Weight Watcher’s casserole dish that is tasty and minus much of the usual fat and calories (I even cut back on the salt). It is a little time-consuming to prepare but the results are worth it. I have found that tomato-based Weight Watcher’s recipes need more sauce or tomatoes added, otherwise they are too … Continue reading
