This recipe is so simple and so good. Take some bertolli pasta in the refrigerated section or just regular pasta cooked. take some jar alfredo sauce, add some dried sundried tomatoes (doesn't matter how much), and bacon bits to the afredo sauce and cook to a slow boil. When pasta is done, cover it with alfredo sauce and serve with cheese/garlic toast. My husband thinks this is restaurant quality and it is so easy and quick to make. hope you like it.

Hey Lauren!



I think we have all been in that food rut! ha ha. I have a great cookbook called Down Home cooking without the Down Home Fat. There are so many great recipes that are easy, healthy and delicious! I copied two of my favorites for you that I think your whole family will enjoy. You might also want to check out their Cooking for Busy People website. There are alot of free recipes there as well. I hope you like these!



Beef & Rice Casserole

This is so good, your family will be sitting with fork in hand asking for more, more, more!

2 1/2 cups water

8 ounces fresh mushrooms, sliced

1 (1.2-ounce) envelope dry onion soup mix

1 tablespoon minced garlic or bottled minced garlic

2 cups instant rice

1 (8-ounce) container fat-free sour cream



· Combine the ground beef, water, mushrooms, soup mix, and garlic in a large nonstick 3-quart saucepan.

· Remove the pan from the heat.

Chicken Skillet Cobbler

If you like pot pie, you’ll like this.

I started making cheesey chicken strips (crushed cheetos coating the chicken tenders) and you just bake em. And you dont have to use the reg. ones. You can use the natural or the baked ones too. My son LOVES them. You should try a shepards pie too. Its really easy for kids to eat and it has mashed potatoes on top so kids love it!! And i love to make Chicken and dumplings. Cant go wrong with creamy broth with chunks of chicken and gooey dumplings. The best thing about that is you can make it in the crock pot while your at work and then just do the dumplings when you get home. You should check out kraft.com and stuff like that. I get a lot of ideas from there. Oh, yeah even better then tacos, for kids at least, you use the premium mac n cheese and put a layer of taco seasoned ground beef in the middle and then add extra cheese on top. My son and my husband will finish off the pan if i dont get mine out first!!

We love risottos, because they are quick, easy, yummy, and best of all our 11 month old loves them!

Basic recipe (serves 4, so enough for all of you + one left over for lunch)

1 litre chicken stock
few saffron threads
1 tablespoon oil
20g butter
1 onion, finely chopped
2 cloves garlic, minced / crushed
1 and a half cups arborio rice
1 cup white wine (the alcohol will be cooked off, so it's suitable for your baby)
1 chicken breast
1 cup peas (frozen are fine, fresh are of course best)
1/2 cup Parmesan cheese

Poach the chicken breast in simmering water (just enough to cover the chicken). Cook for about 15 minutes. Remove and let cool. When cool, 'shred' (just cut up into bit sized pieces).

Put chicken stock and saffron in a saucepan and bring to boil. Turn the heat down so that it remains hot.

Melt butter and oil in a large frying pan over medium heat. Cook onion and garlic until translucent (about 3 to 5 minutes). Add rice. Stir until rice is coated with butter / oil, and changes colour slightly so that it's translucent. Add white wine - it should bubble and a bit will evaporate off (this is the alcohol being evaportaed off). Stir so that the rice doesn't stick to the bottom. Add a ladle full of stock and stir. Repeat this process when the rice starts to look dry (ie nearly all the liquid has been evaporated). This should take about 20 minutes. You don't need to keep stirring it all the time, just when the stock has been added.

Add the peas and chicken. Mix through and cook for about 2 minutes, until peas are cooked.

At this point, I usually serve up my sons, as he doesn't need the Parmesan cheese (it's quite salty, and he has a milk intolerance anyway). I then add the cheese and a fair bit of pepper to ours (if you use salt, then add it now), mix it well and serve. It's nice with garlic bread and a green salad.

One of my favorite meals for my family is chicken alfredo. This meal is so simple and yummy it is always a good go to and most kids love pasta. You can either slice your chicken into thin slices and saute e it on top of the stove or bake it in the oven ( I season my with lemon juice and Italian herbs). Then boil alfredo pasta and warm some sauce (I prefer Bertolli alfredo). I hope this helps you out.
