Super Easy Mac & Cheese
Super Easy Mac & Cheese is perfect to get your kids involved in dinner. One of the things I am passionate about is getting kids interested in cooking. Over the years, I have taught many kids how to make simple meals. They can learn math skills, practice fine-motor coordination, make choices about nutrition, and practice basic cooking techniques. They can learn about different countries and traditions by making foods from around the world. It's also a great way to get families together in the kitchen. If you get kids cooking at an early age, chances are they will continue this good habit as they grow. I happen to collect Macaroni & Cheese recipes. I ran across this one and thought it would be perfect for kids to make. Just make sure you are there to help or supervise the pasta boiling part!

Pasta E Fagioli
Pasta E Fagioli is one of my favorite ways to make pasta. The beauty of this dish is that you can make the "puréed sauce" in the morning and then add the broth and pasta to it later. I love things that you can do ahead. Crusty bread is mandatory for this meal - I mean if you're gonna carb load, do it properly!

Indian Pudding
Indian Pudding is not hugely popular, especially in the Western United States. In fact, I bet you that most people have never heard of it. The recipe came from the North East – Maine, New Hampshire and Massachusetts. It is very easy to make and extremely low budget. When you put vanilla ice cream on top, it becomes a marriage made in heaven. If you ever get really cold and can’t seem to warm up, make this dish!
