Similar to crêpes and Swedish pancakes, these Norwegian pancakes are a favorite in my family. They are a fun meal because you can serve them with a smorgasbord of toppings and fillings.

When I lived in France I usually got these with a simple topping of powdered sugar and fresh berry jam. But when I was in the mood for a decadent treat, I ordered them with Nutella.

This sauce is excellent on pizzas and pastas! It is from the French line of pestos – pistou – and is lighter than traditional Italian pestos because it does not have pine nuts.

This pasta dish is sneaky because it disguises healthy veggies and makes them appealing to kids (and adults). There is nothing more satisfying than watching your child scarf down spinach and tomatoes… and ask for seconds!

The inspiration for this recipe came from my brother-in-law. He used to own a successful Italian restaurant and made my family a to-die-for shrimp Alfredo a few years back. Of course, it was the real deal, full of heavy cream and butter. We wanted to duplicate this hearty comfort food but make it lighter. Our version still has the creamy, rich flavors and textures but we don’t feel so guilty after each bite!

This sweet, rich custard dessert is surprisingly simple to make. Just be sure to allow time for it to chill overnight.

This chocolate cake is my “go-to” recipe for chocolate cupcakes and birthday cakes. In fact, I’ve pretty much stopped trying other chocolate cake recipes because this one is so good and everyone loves it!

Make a large batch of this pasta sauce and freeze smaller portions for future dinners. Blend the sauce until it is smooth and your kids won’t even realize they are eating loads of nutrient-packed tomatoes and other veggies!

This meal is quick and easy to prepare and it’s a great way to get your family to eat tomatoes. If you make your own marinara sauce, add other veggies such as zucchini and blend the sauce until it is smooth to load it with even more nutrients.
