Mac and Cheese w/Broccoli and Califlower!

I have a small daycare in my home so not only am I trying to prepare healthy meals for my family but also many other toddlers! My kids love Mac and Cheese, what kid doesn't! I started by putting pureed cauliflower in my Mac and Cheese, I think this idea originally came from watching Oprah a year or so ago, my kids loved it! I decided to take it a step further and added chunky broccoli to it as well. I add the broccoli before I even start boiling the noodles so it is extra soft and really takes in all the cheesy flavor! My pickiest eater even asked for seconds of this one!! His Mom and Dad said they tried at home to give him broccoli but it didn't work! I guess my Mac and Cheese has that special touch!

Do you have a recipe like this? Is there something you do to get your family to eat healthier and they don't even know it? My friend, Katie is having a contest on her blog and the price is "Deceptivly Delicious" by Jessica Seinfeld. If you have want to check out ideas for other contest entries or have an idea of your own to share then check out her blog http://busymomscookbook.blogspot.com/2008/10/my-first-give-away.html

Mexican Stuffed Shells

I got this recipe from Katie on Mom's Corner...she started an idea where all the different moms made new recipes and then put reviews on the website instead of one mom having to make 20+ new dishes without knowing if they would be good or not. This one came from RecipeZarr and I would rate it a B+. It was a little time consuming to make (about equal to stuffed peppers) and it was very tasty. Personally I would make cheese stuffed shells next time as they are much cheaper and more traditional but this was a nice change.

50 min | 15 min prep

12 -18 shells

• 12-18 large pasta shells, cooked
• 1 lb ground beef
• 3 tablespoons taco seasoning, I use recipe # 4292
• 1/2 cup water
• 1 onion, chopped
• 1 1/2 cups salsa, divided
• 1 cup grated cheese, divided (jalapeno Monterey Jack is especially good, but cheddar will work well too.)
• 750 ml tomato sauce
• chili powder, to taste
• green onion, for garnish

1. Brown ground beef and drain.
2. Add seasoning, water, onion, and 1/2 cup of salsa and 1/4 cup cheese.
3. Mix together remaining salsa, tomato sauce,and chili powder.
4. Spread a thin layer of sauce on the bottom of a 9 x 12 baking pan.
5. Fill each shell with the ground beef mixture and place in pan.
6. Pour remaining sauce on top. Sprinkle on the rest of the cheese on top and garnish with green onion. Cover and freeze at this point.
7. Defrost overnight and bake at 350°F for 30 minutes. (Cook from frozen for 2 hours at 300°F).
8. If desired sprinkle additional cheese on top after baking and return to oven for 5 minutes longer or until cheese melts.

Spaghetti Meat Sauce

I found this original post on Allrecipies.com but after I browned the meat I moved it to the strainer and then I sautéed one green pepper and 2 cloves of fresh garlic for about 5 minutes before I added the rest of the ingredients back to the pot. Also, I didn't have stewed tomatoes so I added a can of whole tomatoes, liquid and all. Very easy, quick and way better then the jar!!

INGREDIENTS:
1 pound lean ground beef
1/4 cup chopped onion
2 (14.5 ounce) cans stewed
tomatoes
1 (6 ounce) can tomato paste
1 tablespoon dried basil
1 tablespoon garlic powder
1 tablespoon dried oregano
1 (4.5 ounce) can mushrooms,
drained

Meatballs

This recipe is a mix of Betty Crocker and the recipe on the side of the Kraft Parmesan Cheese. Yummy!! I need to start remembering to take photos of my creations!! I served this with spaghetti and garlic bread but they could also be used as meatball bombers.

1/2 c bread crumbs

1/2 c milk
2 cloves garlic minced
1/2 teaspoon salt

2. Make into 1 1/2 inch balls and place on an ungreased 9x13 pan

3. Bake 20-25 minutes until the juice in no longer pink.

Stuffed Peppers

Great Meal!!! This came from Betty himself (I read somewhere that "Betty" was actually two men). I made mine with half a jar of Prego (I had it leftover in my fridge) and I skipped the cheese and it was great!! I will try the sauce it calls for next time but I did not have it available today!!

2 tbs chopped onion
1 cup cooked rice
1 tsp salt
1/8 tsp garlic salt

2. Cook ground beef and onion in skillet, stirring occasionally, until beef is brown; drain. Stir in cooked rice, salt, garlic salt and 1 cup of tomato sauce; heat until hot.Heat oven to 350 degrees. Stuff peppers with beef mixture. Stand upright in square 8-inch by 8-inch pan. Pour remaining sauce over peppers.

3. Cover and bake 45 minutes. Uncover and bake 15 minutes longer. Sprinkle with cheese. (Can be frozen, just don't add the cheese until baking).
