Butternut Squash Soup with Celery and Carrots recipe

An easy butter baked cod topped with crunchy almonds. No fuss, easy clean-up and tastes great. A nearly perfect fish main dish. Norwegian or Atlantic cod works well as does any other firm fleshed white fish.

"Pudding and whipped topping -- the perfect combination for this yummy no-bake, cold and creamy pie."

A classic and tasty Thai food. Fresh green beans, sweet potatoes and versatile tofu are cooked in creamy coconut milk and delicious yet spicy Thai curry paste. A little cilantro and fresh lime juice added in the end brightens up the whole dish and adds tons of refreshing taste.

This recipe is adapted from the recipe of America's Test Kitchen. A 10-ounce box of frozen chopped spinach, thawed and squeezed dry, can be substituted for the fresh spinach, if necessary.

Roasting probably is the best way to cook brussels sprouts, it really develops tons of yumminess. Simply toss roasted sprouts with a bit good olive oil, roasted walnuts, dried cranberries, and drizzle with some balsamic glaze. Delicious!

If you love scalloped potatoes, you will adore this scrumptious dish that is the perfect side when preparing a pot roast for dinner.

A simply delicious millet salad. It's quick, easy, tasty and healthy.

One of the best homemade mac n' cheese I've ever had. The flavor of the sauce was excellent. Instead of provolone I use asiago cheese. The bits of feta and spinach made for nice variety. Bread crumb topping added another layer of crunchy texture.

This delicious chicken dish is loaded with succulent chicken chunks, fresh asparagus and red bell pepper that are cooked with garlic, ginger, soy sauce and sesame oil. Serve it with rice to make a complete meal.

A Greek favorite that makes everyone think you are a master chef and is sooo easy to make!! I taught a Greek friend how to make apple pie and she taught me this fabulous recipe. The phyllo dough for this recipe is found in the freezer section of most grocery stores. Add a little lemon zest to the sugar sauce, if desired.

Extremely quick and easy to throw together. Turns out much like a cheesy crustless quiche. Uses bisquick baking mix (or you can make your own easily enough).

The soup was creamy yet slightly chunky, which was the kind of texture I love. Served it with some homemade croutons, absolutely delicious.
