Luncheon Pasta SaladA refreshing light pasta salad for a main dish luncheon or summer potluck. I like small or medium shell pasta, but elbow, ditalini or bow tie pastas are good choices too. |

Red Cabbage ColeslawThink outside the box for your next slaw with this creamy deep red cabbage version. The dried cranberries are camouflaged by the cabbage color and provide a pleasant sweet taste surprise, while walnuts add extra crunch. |

Ham, Peas & Pasta SaladA nice choice for a summer cookout or picnic, this pasta salad can be made up to a day ahead for convenience.

Or substitute your own small pasta FAV such as elbows or shells. |

Baked Penne with VegetablesReminiscent of lasagna but loaded with veggies, this dish will take center stage at group gatherings. It makes good use of summer's zucchini surplus, so file the recipe away in your stash of squash faves. Don't let the cauliflower put you off - it is so well camouflaged that while many noticed the zucchini, no one detected cauliflower… |

Crockpot Baked PotatoesTechnically these are not "baked" as in oven-baked. But this method yields surprisingly close results to the traditional baked potato. I had strong misgivings when I first came across this recipe, but when I tried it I was convinced it's the way to go for a fuss-free "baked" spud. The texture is much better than microwaved.

Budget Cooking
I love to cook with fresh, healthy ingredients. But I also live in the real world, and sometimes we all need those quick, easy, processed-food-laden, budget meals. Here's a place to share them.
