Skinny chicken & broccoli pasta
Much healthier than Alfredo sauce!! FYI, we added Parmesan cheese and red pepper flakes to the sauce (did you expect anything less?). Shout out to Marissa, my Weds night cooking partner in crime!

Sun-dried tomato turkey meatballs
I used two diff recipes for this dinner. The turkey meatballs I found on pinterest, and the sauce is Giada's. Both recipes are below. Enjoy!
Note: don't bake the meatballs for as long as the recipe says... I also used basil and EVOO infused sun-dried tomatoes, instead of just plain ones.

**recommendation is to put them in jello shot cups like you normally would, not cut them into squares like the picture**

Mint chocolate chip ice cream cake
I made this for Christmas dessert 2012... the chocolate sauce is so yummy!
Christmas Tree Brownies
I made these for my coworkers for Christmas 2012...
Nothing crazy, just brownies, m&m's, candy canes, and frosting with green food coloring!

Impromptu white pizza
No recipe for this one... but in looking at the picture, I used ww flour for the crust (I always spread EVOO mixed with garlic salt on the dough prior to topping on the ingredients), fresh spinach, shredded mozz, ricotta, fresh tomatoes, and garnished with oregano and red pepper flakes.
A little secret for the tomatoes: after slicing them, place them on a paper towel, and place another paper towel on top. Replace the paper towels once or twice while the dough is rising and this dries out the tomatoes so there is no juice. This prevents the pizza from getting soggy during/after baking :)

Garlic Parmesan shrimp
I forget what recipe I used... if any at all... but I included one at the bottom, just in case you were clueless!
Chicken and 3 cheese stuffed shells
Recommendation after making it a second time: in addition to spreading remaining sauce on top of the stuffed shells, also spread some of the extra cheese mixture on top as well. It made a big difference from the first time I made them! Never enough cheese!!!!! Haha
Reese's Rice Krispie treats
warning: these are AMAZING!!!! every. single. time.
1 (10 ounce) package plus 2 heaping cups miniature marshmallows
1/3 cup peanut butter
1/2 cup chocolate chips
In a large bowl, combine cereal and diced Reeses. Set aside. Spray a 9 x 13 in. pan with cooking spray and set aside.
In a large pot melt butter over low heat. Add karo syrup and marshmallows and stir continuously until mixture is smooth. Remove from heat and add cereal mixture into the pot and fold together just until cereal is evenly coated. (Peanut butter cup pieces will fall apart as you fold together your ingredients, so don't over mix this.) Press mixture into the sprayed 9 x 13 in. pan. Set aside.
In a small microwave safe bowl, add peanut butter. Microwave for 30 second to a minute to melt. Set aside to let cool slightly. In a separate small microwave safe bowl, melt chocolate at 30 second intervals, stir between intervals, until smooth. Set aside to let cool slightly.
When peanut butter is cool enough to handle, transfer into a small zip lock bag. Clip a small piece out of the corner and pipe onto rice krispie treats, zig-zagging back and forth. Repeat steps with chocolate, placing in a small zip lock bag, and piping over the peanut butter. Either let treats sit at room temperature to allow chocolate to set up, or you can pop the pan into the fridge for about 5 minutes to speed up the process. Cut and serve.
Makes a 9 x 13 in. sheet of treats.

Moscato cupcakes
These were surprisingly very moist! Plus I had fun with the frosting, as you can see! I made them twice; once for coworkers, and again as mini cupcakes for a birthday party.

Twinkie cupcakes
do NOT use the frosting recipe they provide on the website. make your own. theirs became my first epic fail in the kitchen and basically broke my mixer.
Irish car bomb cupcakes
These were BY FAR the best cupcakes EVER. I made them twice; once for a birthday party and again for st patty's day. They were a huge hit!
Let it be known - they are extremely challenging and tedious to make. But of course totally worth it :)
My recommendation: you can double the whiskey and the baileys, but NOT the guinness. You don't want to mess with batter... ever.
Guinness batter, whiskey ganache filling, baileys frosting

Cucumber turkey sandwich ... No carbs
no recipe... just cut a cucumber down the middle and scoop out the seeds. place lunch meat and cheese in the centers where the seeds were... i used fat free turkey and goat cheese. you could also use laughing cow cheese if you are not as obsessed with goat cheese as i am. these are nice because there are no carbs but they are crunchy and fresh so its "fun".
