Why ordering take-out, if you can make a delicious beef and bok-choy stir-fry within no time.

Much better than classic Macaroni and Cheese. This version still has lots of cheesy flavor but is baked with juicy tomatoes and lots of mushrooms. Serve with a simple salad and make with whole wheat macaroni for a serious boost to the health value that's packed with flavor. A great family casserole.

I used a whole wheat blend of pasta/spaghetti. I cut back some on the olive oil and used smart balance blend instead of butter. I also only used 1 tsp of the crushed red pepper for my children's palate and it seemed fine.

An easy yet tasty way to cook chicken breasts. The apricot-almond stuffing added some sweet fruitiness and nuttiness, and the yogurt-apricot sauce went deliciously well with stuffed chicken breast, lots of juiciness and yumminess in this dish. Serve it with rice or crusty bread to complete the meal.

Try something different when it comes to pasta with this delicious dish made with spinach and Fortina cheese.

Whole roasting a chicken is a great way to economize. This herb roasted chicken always turns out moist and juicy with great flavor. I then package the leftover meat one cup at a time into zipper bags and store in the freezer for later use in casseroles or hashes. Then using the remains I made a homemade chicken stock that is much better than any store bought stock.

Cheesy polenta topped with eggs and a bit of Italian or Turkey sausage, perfect for a Sunday brunch. Any cheese could be used but my favorite is Fontina or an old flavor filled cheddar. Similar to sausage, eggs and potato but much healthier with perfect matching of flavors. Very easy to halve the recipe along with pictures.

Layered corn tortilla casserole with Monterey Jack, sweet corn, green onions, and diced chili peppers in a tangy buttermilk-egg custard. A Tex-Mex weeknight dinner ready in 40 minutes flat.

Shepherd's pie with seasoned ground beef, leftover roast beef, vegetables, and a fluffy mashed potato top finished under the broiler. A hearty pub-style casserole that uses up Sunday roast.

Savory vegetarian pie with caramelized onions, mixed mushrooms, and Gruyere in a rustic oat-flour crust. A lighter quiche-style main dish with an earthy, nutty depth of flavor.

It's hard to not fall in love with this tasty flatbread that has caramelized onion, roasted bell pepper and creamy goat cheese.

Anne's best, easy green bean casserole with french fried onions.

These individual taco pizzas are loaded with flavors. Spread with basil pesto, topped with juicy yet chewy, and sweet oven-dried cherry tomatoes, and shredded mozzarella. After baking, they come out cheesy, juicy and delicious!

A very easy and fairly quick one pot meal that's perfect when you're in a hurry. Chunks of chicken and rice seasoned with star anise and Chinese five spice powder. Yum.

This scrumptious shrimp dish tastes so good, it will make you completely forget about the overcooked breaded bits of what purports to be shrimp at Red Lobster.

Lean pork tenderloin roasts with carrots, new potatoes, and onions in one pan. Simple weeknight dinner seasoned with rosemary and sage that's ready in under an hour.
