Here are some recipes that I can’t claim as my own, but I LOVE them and wanted to share:
Double Chocolate Brownies- healthy and light, but still chocolate! Reid even liked these!
Turk-A-Roni - Sounds gross, right? BUT it’s not. It’s a lot of vegetables, with meat, pasta, and a tomato base to resemble Beef-a-roni, but in a more grown up and healthy way. LOVE it!
The Best Lasagna Ever- She isn’t lying- it really is the best! I wanted to impress my Mom, showing her that I really can cook, so I made this for her and it was great! I made this for a friend that just had a baby and she wanted to know what restaurant had made it b/c she couldn’t believe I had!
Almond Danish Swirls – A Paula Dean recipe. A patient made these for me when I worked at the oral surgeon’s office; they’re fabulous. I’ve only made them once and need to make them again!
