Playing with food is not always a bad thing and in this case, it is the perfect way to turn your winter mealtimes into a fun art project {especially when indoor projects to keep your kiddos busy are sorely needed!}. This time around we made Rudolph the Red-Nosed Reindeer pulling a sleigh full of toys.
Lunches around here have been pretty fun lately because my son and I have been using our Christmas and winter cookie cutters to make edible art scenes. This is one instance where I think playing with food is perfectly acceptable! It is especially perfect for a cold winter day when you need an indoor project.
The rich flavors in this pumpkin ravioli complement many meats or roasts but the pasta also makes a hearty main meal.
Layers of corn tortillas, chicken, enchilada sauce and cheese are melted into one casserole. Though it’s not as quick as pouring from a can, the dish still comes together easily and can be prepared in advance so that you can simply pop it in the oven to heat it through when you are ready to eat.
If you’re looking for an alternative to pepperoni pizza, BBQ chicken is a great choice. Caramelized red onions, a blend of white cheeses, BBQ chicken and a zingy sauce make for a flavorful and popular pizza.
We liked our Clam Pasta from a while back so much that we made it with lemon chicken this time. It is a light and colorful pasta dish full of some of our favorite summer vegetables: zucchini, summer squash, peppers and tomatoes.
Turkey burgers have become a favorite in our household. When we recently made them we decided to make sliders. Sliders are the perfect size for kids and they allow the adults to make multiple burgers with a variety of toppings and condiments.
This homemade version of Taco Bell’s Enchirito {a hybrid of an enchilada and a burrito} is easy, healthy and satisfying.
Butter clams are mixed with turkey sausage and vegetables in this flavorful and colorful pasta dish. You can make it with store-bought clams but if you do have the opportunity to go clamming, you’ll enjoy your meal even more.
This chicken and artichoke tortellini salad is quick to make and yummy served warm or chilled. You can mix up the ingredients based on the veggies and spices that you have on hand.
