Um, double yum. I got the basic recipe from SkinnyTaste. What a great way to get some extra veggies!
Check out my shell-disaster here….
  |
 |
- Sauce (I used Ragu Marinara)
- 9 Shells (I had alot of stuffing left over, so you can up that to at least 18)
- 2 Cups of Ricotta Cheese
- 2 Ounces Shredded Mozzarella Cheese
- 1 Egg
- 9 ounce package of frozen spinach
- 1/4 cup Peco Romano Cheese
|
 |
- Preheat your oven to 375
- Salt a pot of water & set to boil.
- Microwave the Spinach for a few minutes to thaw then squeeze the bejesus out of it. You want as little water left as possible.
- Put the shells in the water & cook until they are al dente
- In a bowl, mix the ricotta, egg, & cheeses together. Then mix in the spinach.
- Get a baking dish & cover the bottom with some delish sauce
- Once the shells are done & cooled, stuff those bad boys with your spinach mix & place them in your dish
- Shower them with some additional sauce, cover with foil & cook for 40 minutes.
- Now uncover & cook for 5 more
- Finally, ponder how fantastic they are while you eat them.

I am not sure I should admit this, but I didn’t even know how to make a Grilled Cheese when I got married….
Here is my favorite. The Mayo & Red Wine Vinaigrette make it fancy & extra yummy.
  |
 |
- 2 slices of Rye Bread per sandwich
- 1 slice of American Cheese per sandwich
- 2 slices of Honey Ham per sandwich
- Mayo & Red Wine Vinaigrette dressing
|
 |
- Gather all your ingredients together
- Heat a griddle or a pan over medium heat
- Spread each side of the bread with a smear of mayo & vinaigrette dressing (don’t soak it!)
- When the pan is hot, add a slice of bread (smear side up) & top with ham, cheese & other side of the bread (smear side down this time)
- Cook for a few minutes, flip (I like mine on the not-so-done side, so I flip after 2 1/2 minutes)
- Put on a plate, eat with chips. (Subway sandwiches have NOTHING on this baby)

So, I got the idea from the Kraft Website. I liked it, but didn’t love it.
It was really easy to make though & relatively inexpensive.
(I got the Kraft Cream Cheese for $1.00, the Broccolli for $.99 & the pasta for $.69)
  |
 |
- 1 lb Chicken (cut into bite size pieces)
- 1 bag of Broccoli
- Pasta (I used 1/2 box of whole wheat)
- 1 tub of PHILADELPHIA Italian Cheese and Herb Cooking Creme
|
 |
- Boil the water for the pasta (add salt!)
- In a hot pan, add the diced chicken, cooking until no longer pink (took me like 6 minutes)
- While you are cooking the chicken, add the pasta & cook
- Throw the broccoli in the mircowave to slighy warm ( I did 2 minutes)
- Add the broccoli to pan, cook for 2-3 minutes
- Add container of Philly, cook for 3 minutes.
- Add Pasta to pan, cook a few minutes
- Put on a plate & eat.
