Soups Stews And Chili - Michelles Blonde Chicken Chili

People who have tasted this thick mix of beans, spices and chicken say: 'So good it'll make you perky and stupid!' I've placed in my workplace's annual Halloween chili cook-off for the last three years. Looks strange -- tastes great! Serve with shredded Monterey Jack cheese and warm flour tortillas.

Pasta - Good For You Macaroni And Cheese

Using the best of all the ideas out there, this mac n' cheese incorporates old-style methods with hidden veggies and a crunchy, new topping that will please both kids and adults. I like to use 'smart' pasta that has calcium and fiber. It's too good to be good for you!

Salad - Tabbouleh Ii

Such a refreshing salad and it holds nicely in the refrigerator if you want to make it ahead. Light and nutty bulgur is soaked in water until it 's fluffy and ready to be combined with parsley, mint, tomatoes, and a bit of oil and freshly squeezed lemon juice. Serves four.

The way the ingredients go together gives this African-inspired chicken, sweet potato, and peanut soup its unique flavor. The slow-cooker soup uses pantry basics, like peanut butter, canned tomatoes, and spices, and spins them in a deliciously different way.

Breakfast And Brunch - Individual Baked Eggs

A very easy idea with a minimum of fuss or muss for any number of people. Individual Baked Eggs surrounded by a strip of bacon, and topped with a square of cheese. These eggs take on a very pleasing flavor just by baking instead of cooking them in the more conventional manner. Great not having splatters all over, and being able to do 12 or more eggs at one time.
