Zucchini Meatballs in Cream Sauce - Microwave Quick!

Zucchini Meatballs in Cream Sauce - Microwave Quick! by Salad Foodie

Several good reasons to save this recipe: to use up zucchini; to keep the kitchen cool by microwaving the main dish; and because the meatballs are loaded with veggies, are moist and creamy. This is one of my two all-time FAVS from the peak microwave cookbook era of the 80's and 90's. If you prefer, use homemade cream sauce in place of…

Stuffed Peppers - Mexican Taco Style

Stuffed Peppers - Mexican Taco Style by Denise Sherin

Stuffed Peppers are so easy to change up flavor wise. These are made with a Mexican taco flavor. I used cous-cous instead of rice because my son doesn't really like rice. But you can use rice, cracked wheat or quinoa whatever you like. I also use mild chilies but for a spicier dish you could use jalapenos. For the meat in this…

Baked Penne with Vegetables

Baked Penne with Vegetables by Salad Foodie

Reminiscent 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…

Stuffed Peppers - BBQ Bacon Cheeseburger Style

Stuffed Peppers - BBQ Bacon Cheeseburger Style by Denise Sherin

I love stuffed peppers. But my son doesn't like rice and wasn't a fan of the plain flavor of the tomato sauce. So I created these peppers knowing the flavors of BBQ bacon cheeseburger would appeal to him. I used orzo in place of rice. Needless to say he ate 2 and a half at dinner and has asked for all the leftovers to be his…

Penne Alfredo with Italian Sausage and Zucchini

Penne Alfredo with Italian Sausage and Zucchini by Denise Sherin

I had this dish at a local diner and loved it. So I recreated it at home it's an easy tasty dish. It looks like you spent a lot of time making it and it comes together so easily. In this picture I used just zucchini but I have made it with summer squash or a mix of both, whatever I have on hand, and it's great.

Salisbury Steak with Horseradish Mushroom Gravy

Salisbury Steak with Horseradish Mushroom Gravy by Denise Sherin

This is comfort food to me. It's a timeless classic and it's still yummy today. It is a great one pot meal that can be finished in a crock pot too, just brown the beef patties first. Serve it over egg noodles and it's hearty, tasty dinner.

Holiday Ham with Pineapples (Easter or Christmas)

Holiday Ham with Pineapples (Easter or Christmas) by Denise Sherin

This is the way my Nanny and Mom made our holiday ham. We had it for Easter, Christmas and side by side with turkey on Thanksgiving. This ham is always good, I use oven cooking bags but Mom and Nanny always used foil. It uses brown sugar and ginger ale and pineapple which makes for an excellent gravy! Just thicken the juices with a…
