Bread Pudding Florentine
An outstanding brunch recipe that is one of Holly's very favorites. It can be made the night before and popped in the oven to cook in the morning.
Brown Rice Medley
"This is basically stir fried brown rice with veggies, which can be a one dish meal or a full family dish, ala oriental, but is very healthy."
Checkerboard Baked Beans
Thank you to the Cleveland Clinic Healthy Heart Cookbook.
These baked beans can be made with or without the kielbasa. Either way, they are a tasty and nutritious side dish for picnics or at dinner!
Colorful Mashed Potatoes
We love to experiment with mashed potatoes. Try adding roasted garlic, fat-free sour cream, or low-fat cheese for added flavor. Experiment with different types of potatoes such as Yukon Golds or Peruvian Purples for a different flavor. Or, have fun with colors with the variations below.
Cream Cheese Whipped Potatoes
Thank you to the Cleveland Clinic Healthy Heart Cookbook.
Comfort food at its finest! A bowl of yummy whipped potatoes can warm anyone, even in the coldest of temperatures.
Fruit Muffins
Get a great start to the day for the entire family. Consider making these muffins on Sunday morning... make enough to freeze and pop out for a mid-week treat.
Mardi Gras Pasta Salad
Mardi Gras is a great time to celebrate, and this festive salad, made with tri-colored pasta, vibrant veggies and succulent chicken will set the mood. The Lenten clock begins at midnight... and this pasta salad (without the chicken) is a pretty Lenten option.
Marsala Winter Vegetables
Marsala sauce gives winter vegetables an especially savory flavor, perfect for cold winter nights.
Potato Salad
When you plan and fill your family's picnic basket, surround Mom's Old Fashioned Potato Salad with whole wheat bread and fresh fruit (both have fiber), and thoughtful beverages. And be sure to clean those hands before you eat!
