Easy Cheesy Beef Pasta CasseroleSpaghetti sauce mixed with cheese, cottage cheese, sour cream, ground beef, and pasta. Works with ground Italian sausage, or turkey, too. Why not just prepare Hamburger Helper? Because this recipe is tastier, and you can go organic with it. |

Skinny and Sensational, Thai Chicken and Peanut NoodlesI love any kind of Asian noodle dish, especially a Thai one that includes peanut butter. Good news too: Peanut butter is heart healthy.

Lazy Eggplant LasagnaWe've all heard about Lazy Pierogie – so why not try Lazy Eggplant Lasagna? This didn't take long to make at all – it's so hot and humid that I took a jar of my homemade meat sauce out of the freezer the day before to thaw so that I could use it and not need to have a pot of sauce simmering on the stove! |
