Roasted Broccoli Cheese Soup

I love a good broccoli cheese soup, and this is creamy, dreamy and a BIG YUM.

Shiitakes in Vermouth

This one is for the gourmet cooks in the group. You can do this with any standard mushrooms and make it less exotic but the gourmet cooks will appreciate the earthy flavor of the shiitakes.

Chicken Crepes with Mushrooms and Broccoli

These are not sweet crepes. These are savory ones to be filled as a lunch or dinner entrée. These make great family or dinner party food. You can make more than one batch for a party.

Chicken Marsala

This is one of those meals that is easy but makes me feel special. It’s nice enough to serve to company or even just on a Tuesday night.

Swiss Chard with Bacon

Everything goes better with bacon…as the saying goes. So this side dish will be a hit.

Asparagus with Toasted nuts

Timing the side dishes to come out and be warm when served can also be a challenge. I am offering up this idea for an asparagus side dish because asparagus tastes good at any temperature.

Oven Roasted Pork Loin Chops with Barbecue Sauce

Even a novice cook can handle this one...and it’s only two pans! This also re-heats great for lunch the next day.

This tastes a lot like pizza with no crust. Almost a cross between lasagna and pizza. It’s just a simple, comfort food dish to eat out of a bowl.

Yogurt with Fruit and Nuts

Okay. This seems so simple. Everyone wants a fast breakfast or snack. Your kids will be giddy with this as their breakfast or their after school snack.

You’ll love this comfort food dish when you want to eat curled up on the sofa watching a movie. It’s also a hit with the little kids and people who don’t like spicy food.

Chicken Pot Pie and Biscuits

I found a recipe for chicken pot pie on the internet and put some twists on it so it can be low carb and good for you. I hope you like it. Comfort food!

This is a very versatile sauce which can be used with any fish and it’s also great with chicken.

No Dough Pizza

This recipe was contributed by dieter Woody. He found it online on a low carb cooking website. It is now one of his favorite ways to eat pizza. Thanks for sharing, Woody!

Creamy Leek Pie

This recipe makes a yummy vegetarian lunch or side dish to go with a protein. I also put it in Zola to GO! because it can travel to a buffet.

Roasted Chicken Breasts with an Onion-Poblano Side

This is mild, full of flavor and a huge hit around my house and would also be wonderful with a steak or a meaty fish too.

Marvelous Mushrooms

This mushroom dish was designed to go with steak but I am confident it will go well with chicken or even an omelet. The taste is rich so be ready for some big YUMs around your table.

French Chicken with Spring Vegetables

This recipe is all about the bounty of fresh spring veggies and how you can use all sorts of them to make a lovely, healthy meal-a sort of stew.

Really simple meal. Serve with a salad if you want more.

Butternut Squash Roasted in Coconut Oil

This recipe is SUPER simple and SUPER BIG YUM! I don’t crave potatoes anymore but I can develop a craving for this stuff!

Roasted Butternut Squash, Egg and Cheese Casserole

This recipe is for all the vegetarians out there. Thank you dieter Nancy for this photo. For you non-vegetarians this makes a great side dish to go along with a grilled meat. We had this last night with grilled Andouille sausage and had a lovely meal.
