Over the past couple of years we have made Tikka Masala many times in an effort to perfect it. It typically has heavy cream so our goal has been to create a lighter version while matching the restaurant creaminess and flavor. The last time we made this, our fifteen-month old son couldn't get enough of it!
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.
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.
Turn your leftover taco meat or fajita chicken into a brand new meal by making a light and refreshing salad with cilantro-lime vinaigrette.
Ever since I can remember my family has had my Grandma's lasagne for our Christmas Eve dinner. I have made a few slight changes to my Grandma's recipe to make it lighter but it has the same hearty, comforting flavors.
Pairing salmon and spinach with ingredients such as feta cheese, avocado, tomatoes, and salad dressing is an excellent way to introduce your family to salmon and let them start to appreciate the flavor of this healthy fish.
Let each person add the ingredients of choice to a Ziploc bag. Place the bags into rolling, boiling water for 8-13 minutes. Open the bags and the omelets will roll out easily. Be prepared for everyone to be amazed. Everyone gets involved in the meal process and breakfast becomes a great conversation piece!
My favorite time of year to make this salsa is in the summer and early fall when we are harvesting the tomatoes and peppers from our garden. It is great in many dishes, including fish tacos, omelettes and fajitas.
True to its name, this Fiesta dish is like a party in your mouth! It's a great way to transform leftovers into an exciting and colorful meal.
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!
