Cauliflower and Cheese

Cauliflower and cheese is the British take on the popular comfort food: macaroni and cheese. What a clever way to disguise cauliflower. We recently had some friends over for dinner and I made this dish…nobody missed the pasta! I can’t wait to try this with broccoli, carrots and other vegetables. What veggies wouldn’t be good with a cheesy Mornay sauce?!

Crôque-Madame (Deluxe Ham, Egg & Cheese Sandwich)

Chicken Parmesan Sandwich

This is a simple meal but your kids won’t even notice that they are eating tomatoes because the lycopene-packed fruits are perfectly disguised in this cheesy, saucy sandwich. And it’s a great way to use the yummy breaded chicken from our Chicken Parmigiana either as a leftover sandwich or as the primary meal.

Avocado Turkey Burgers

The sun is out and summer has been on my mind so we had avocado turkey burgers for dinner last night. My fifteen-month old son devoured three-fourths of a giant burger and my husband said that he no longer needs to eat ground beef if this is what ground turkey can taste like!

Pizza Sauce

This sauce is easy to make and has the nostalgic pizza parlor pizza sauce flavor that is missing from most store-bought varieties. I use it for pizzas, calzones, breadsticks, and pastas.

Guacamole

The following guacamole recipe is my family’s favorite version but we change up the ingredients depending on what we have on hand. We really like the combination of the salsa verde with the chopped tomatoes but if we don’t have salsa verde, we use any other salsa.
