United States Chef

	Southwestern Pasta and Cheese by Krista I found this recipe in the February/March 2009 issue of Healthy Cooking. I was searching for recipes in Healthy Cooking because I was recently forced to face an ugly truth when planning my Spring Break wardrobe. As I tried on clothes that fit perfectly fine last summer, I realized that even my "fat day" shorts were fitting kind of…	1 vote 305 views
	Crock Pot Irish Stew and Soda Bread by Krista Happy St. Patrick's Day! This savory, slow-cooked traditional Irish stew accompanied by a crusty Irish soda bread makes for a delicious way to observe the feast day honoring the life of Saint Patrick.While there are countless recipes for Irish Stew, many of them resembled my regular beef stew recipe: meat, carrots, potatoes, broth,…	1 vote 565 views
	Individual Bacon Cheddar Meatloaves with Baked Onion Rings PLUS the Meal Plan and Grocery List 3/21-3/27 by Krista I will sing the praises of these yummy lil' meatloaves in a moment, but first this scene from my kitchen:"What's for dinner?" my husband asked. "Meatloaf!" I sang out enthusiastically. Disregarding my exuberance, he gave me a wary look from across the…	1 vote 607 views
	Chicken and Artichokes in White Wine Sauce by Krista Admittedly, chicken and artichokes in white wine sauce sounds pretty fancy for Tuesday night dinner for the family. Judging from the picture above, it even looks restaurant-worthy. That's the beauty of this recipe....it's so versatile! Elegant enough for a romantic date or a dinner party with friends, but quick and easy enough for a…	1 vote 6388 views
	White Bean Fennel Soup by Krista This light and healthy fennel soup was absolutely delicious. It's packed with vitamins, antioxidants, and fiber and was a huge hit alongside our grilled cheese sandwiches at dinner tonight. My kids even loved it!I found this fennel bulb labelled as anise in my local supermarket's produce section. Since I have never purchased or cooked…	1 vote 476 views

But I'm getting ahead of myself, I will post that next…	1 vote 635 views
	Broccoli Pesto Pizza by Krista Sometime ago I saw a recipe for broccoli pesto. Though I'd never tried it, I was so taken with the idea that I even mentioned it to a group of moms when presenting ways to integrate healthy foods into the diets of young children at a recent speaking engagement. Sure, some kids will shy away from "all things green", but I find that…	1 vote 476 views
	Spaghetti and Meatballs with Bacon Vodka Sauce by Krista This recipe was born out of my inability to choose between a Penne in Vodka Sauce recipe seen in the most recent issue of Food Network Magazine and Giada's Bucatini All'Amatriciana with Spicy Fontina Meatballs that I found on Kim's blog, Stirring the Pot. Indecision is the mother of invention? Rather than make each recipe separately,…	1 vote 617 views
	Crescent Wrapped Lasagna and A Meal Plan by Krista This recipe, inspired by "Crafty Crescent Lasagna" found on the Pillsbury website was even better than I hoped it would be. It came together quickly and it was SO good. My family loved this one!The first step was to make the meat sauce for the lasagna. I'm still adjusting to the lighting in our new kitchen. I'm fighting with the…	1 vote 393 views
	Croque-Madame Casserole and the Meal Plan 2/21- 2/26 by Krista This Croque-Madame Casserole was a hit at our Sunday brunch a couple of weeks ago. You may be familiar with the Croque Monsieur(the French version of a grilled ham and cheese sandwich) and the Croque Madame (the Croque Monsieur served with a fried or poached egg on top). Well, leave it to Paula Deen to find a way to make this French…	1 vote 677 views
