WHAT'S COOKING WEDNESDAY, February 15th

As I indicated yesterday, we tried to stick with no meat last week. I have to admit that I struggled a bit. I didn't want to fix the same things over and over so I tried several different recipes. One I had found in this book:

I tried the Baked Spaghetti, which is really very tasty and super easy. I will share this super easy recipe:

12 oz. of spaghetti (cooked)
1.5 cups of onion
2 15 oz cans of diced tomatoes
1 cup of shredded cheddar cheese
3 Tbsp of Parmesan cheese
1 Tbsp of Italian Seasoning (please note that the recipe shows 2 t, but I didn't think it would be enough).

Preheat oven to 350 degrees, spray the bottom of a 9 X 13 inch casserole pan. Place the cooked spaghetti at the bottom of the pan, top with the onion, diced tomatoes and then top with Italian Seasoning and then top with cheddar and Parmesan.

I have to admit that I felt like I was being super repetitive. It seemed so easy to pick an Italian style dish or a Mexican style dish because it was so easy to make something that I would normally include meat in and just leave out the meat. What are some of your meatless meal favorites?

What's Cooking Wednesday, May 7, 2025

I hesitate to even call this a recipe. I have been making this super easy, but versatile recipe for years. My ex-grandmother-in-law made hers spicier, but for my young one (at the time I started making this) wasn't a fan of spicy foods. So I created a cheeseburger variety of the meat pie. It's simply Grands biscuits, hamburger meat and cheese. I believe she used the standard biscuit, but I have been using Grands for years. You can absolutely change this up to use different ingredients, but it's a family favorite so I haven't changed it much. I may do a different variety soon to bring to you!

S’mores Protein Bites Recipe You can find the original recipe here from Six Sisters' Stuff. The one below is the way I prepared it. Ingredients 1½ cups Simple Truth Old Fashioned Oats ¼ cup crushed graham cracker crumbs ½ cup Simple Truth almond butter ½ cup raw honey ¼ cup vanilla protein powder (I used Orgain Vanilla Protein Powder) 1 teaspoon vanilla extract ½ cup mini marshmallows ¼ cup mini chocolate chips Instructions Combine all ingredients in a bowl or stand mixer until well combined. Roll dough into 1 inch balls and place on a baking sheet covered with foil or parchment paper. Place in the freezer for about 1 hour, then store in a resealable bag or airtight container in the fridge for up to a week (or in the freezer for up to a month). This original recipe says 15 servings. I am not sure if I used a smaller scoop but I came out with 25 or so. There were a couple that were smaller.
