Simple Spinach and Red Bell Pepper PastaVery simple weeknight meal. I doubled the recipe. It wouldn't really have been enough for 4 as written. I added 1/2 to 3/4 cup of the pasta water at the end of cooking the vegetables - made the whole thing really creamy. I also added way more fresh basil than called for - about 1/3 cup when I tossed the pasta - don't cook with the onion and garlic if using fresh. I also added about 1/8 cup of olive oil when tossing and considerably more parmesan lots of salt and fresh ground pepper. I guess more is better!

Coconut ShrimpYum! I don't like shrimp so I substituted fake crab sticks. Instead of deep frying, I sauteed in peanut oil. Turned out great! I used Bob's Red Mill unsweetened coconut and it blended so well with the panko, even my non coconut eaters ate it. I thought the dipping sauce was very good. We had 2 who really liked the sauce, one that didn't, and one that refused to try it...

Sweet Potatoes with Rosemary and GarlicThese were da bomb! I boiled them a little too long so they didn't crisp up quite as much as the should have in the oven, but they were still delicious. Both of my kids said these sweet potatoes were the best part of tonight's meal.

Shrimp Ravioli with Mushrooms, Sage Browned ButterThis is a phenomenal dish! I used fake crab instead of shrimp. I think I will steam the ravioli instead of boiling them next time as they got a little water logged. Great recipe to get the kids involved in the ravioli assembly.

Recipe Vegetarian Pot PieA bit labor intensive, but ok for a Sunday night dinner. I would reduce the cayenne pepper to 1/8 tsp. This was a bit too spicy for my 7 year old.

Baked Lemon Ratatouille with ChickenThis is delicious! Two of our four family meembers don't eat meat so I cooked some Morning Star Chicken Strips for 10 minutes as directed in the beginning, then removed them until the last 5 minutes. I served this over some long grain rice cooked with half water and half vegetable broth. Very tasty!
