14 Bean StewThis is a hearty from-scratch stew. The perfect way to warm up on a cold fall or winter day. Many stores carry a 14 bean blend in their bulk foods section but you can also create your own using whatever dry beans you have on hand.
Carbonara PastaThis is a fast and easy recipe, that looks fancy. It makes for an elegant meal to share as a date night in (if you both don't mind a lot of garlic). The red pepper flake gives it a nice kick. The recipe calls for pancetta, but you can just as easily use chopped bacon.
Light Shrimp ScampiThis recipe is a family favorite and, unlike many of our favorites, this one is healthy! My kids love it. It is excellent over spinach pasta.
Spinach Pasta NoodlesSpinach pasta is a very tasty type of homemade pasta and a great way to sneak some vegetables in the kids. It's great with spaghetti sauce, cream based sauces like Alfredo sauce, pesto sauces, or our favorite, homemade shrimp scampi!
Curry Chicken and CabbageMy husband doesn't normally like curry, but the curry flavor in this dish is pretty mild and he raved about it. I paired it with curry cabbage making for a very light and filling dinner.
Asian Glazed Pork ChopsThis is a quick, easy, and light pork-chop dinner, that my whole family enjoys.
