This is Mac and Cheese for those of us with a more sophisticated palate, yet the flavors are simple enough that your kids will enjoy it too. I served this in individual casserole dishes for a nicer presentation.

Still trying to answer that eternal question what can I do with this chicken? Then try this, comfort food at its best. Serve it with a little brown rice for a great "Sunday" dinner. If you don't feel like roasting the peppers yourself, the jarred ones will work just fine.

This dish is a great introduction to Indian cuisine. A perfect vegetarian main course or flavorful side dish with Lamb or Beef. I added a chopped sweet potato which is a nice compliment to the butternut squash it also adds a little sweetness to counteract the spice.

This was great - savory and sweet. The flatbread recipe was versatile and we used the leftover dough to create a different meal the next day. Pictures at http://syrupandhoney.typepad.com/blog/2009/06/rosemary-flatbread.html

I took one look at this recipe and knew it was for me. Rich cheese, tender potatoes, and crisp bacon nestled on top of buttery puff pastry: what's not to like? Don't be intimidated by the fancy-schmancy cheese--the magazine recommends the far-more-common St. Andre as an alternative; and I'm thinking a California Teleme or a nutty Gruyère would also be good. (If you're the type who can't leave well enough alone, you might also want to sprinkle a dash of chopped fresh thyme or rosemary over the top, just before serving.) Do take their advice and splurge on all-butter puff pastry, though--it truly elevates these tarts to the celestial. I served tossed baby greens with fresh figs and caramelized pecans as an accompaniment, along with a nicely chilled Chardonnay. The next time I have special guests at cocktail time, I'm thinking of cutting the puff pastry into 1 1/2-inch rounds for bite-size tartlets.
