Garlic Baked Shrimp

When I saw this recipe on Pinterest I thought I had hit the Holy Grail of recipes.  A Weight Watchers recipe  with garlic and shrimp.  Two of my families favorite items.  I should have been a bit more skeptical when I was making this that something wasn’t quite right. The original recipe I followed is…

Chicken Tetrazzini

My mom used to make this all the time when we were children.  As an adult I never quite understood how she made it until I ran across this recipe on Pinterest for Martha Stewart’s Chicken Tetrazzini.  I tend not to even attempt Martha Stewart recipes because I think they are too fussy and time-consuming…

Feta Cheese and Bacon Stuffed Chicken Breasts

This is another Pinterest recipe.  I have been really interested in Pinterest lately.   Okay, obsessed with Pinterest lately.  But this has all the flavors I knew my family would love.  Feta and bacon.  My children eat feta cheese right from the container.  I can’t keep it out or it will be gone within 5 minutes….

Creamy Tuna Noodle Casserole

I first saw this recipe for Creamy Tuna Noodle Cazuela in my new Food and Wine magazine.  I thought it sounded wonderful and most of my family love Tuna Noodle Casserole so I thought I would give it a try.  As with most recipes I try I found that I either did not have or…
