Friday Five: New Favorite Recipes


With the start of the new year, I decided to try at least one new recipe a week. The results have been promising! Here are some of my new favorites:

1. Philly Cheesesteak Stuffed Peppers. My, my, my. These were nothing short of amazing. Just the mushrooms and onion caramelizing in the skillet in the first step is enough to make your mouth water. Highly recommend!

2. Ranch Pesto Rigatoni Bake. A very simple, flavorful pasta dish that the whole family loved. Can't go wrong with that!

3. Turkey Wrap with Cucumber and Laughing Cow Cheese. The link will lead you to a Rachel Ray recipe calling for cream cheese. Forget that- do yourself a favor and use garlic & herb Laughing Cow cheese, instead! This is definitely my new favorite lunch, which is great, because I had recently found myself in a lunch rut.

4. Crock pot Black Beans & Rice (Burrito filling). I had always wanted to try making burritos at home, but had never found a good recipe. This very simple one that cooks in the crock pot for 3 hours was just the ticket! Once it was done, we put it in tortillas and added Mexican cheese and sour cream. Perfect dinner!

5. Homemade Clam Chowder. This is a recipe that Steve has made twice, very successfully. It's rich and hearty, everything you'd want a winter soup to be.

Do you have any new favorite recipes? Please share!
