Egg Roll in a Bowl

My friend Kay suggested this old Weight Watcher's recipe for Egg Roll in a Bowl. I made it yesterday for lunch and we loved it. This recipe is a great way to get a healthy and delicious meal on the table quickly. The Asian flavors enhance the dish, which is packed with protein and vegetables. You can also add extra veggies like thinly sliced red bell peppers, and mushrooms to the mix.

Artichoke, Garlic, and Leek Pasta

It can't get any simpler than this Artichoke, Garlic, and Leek Pasta. I always have cans of artichoke hearts on hand which makes it great for a busy workweek meal. It takes about 10 minutes to throw this together. You can also personalize it, by adding sun-dried tomatoes, capers, etc...

Gochujang-Glazed Salmon with Garlic Spinach

Gochujang, a Korean red chile paste, gives this salmon a nice kick of heat, while the honey balances it out with a touch of sweetness. The garlic spinach makes a delicious, silky, garlicky bed to serve the salmon.

Rosemary-Brined Pork Chops with Apples and Potatoes

After finishing all 3 seasons of The Lost Kitchen, I am a little obsessed with Erin French. I suppose my love for Maine also fueled the fire. I know this is a rather autumnal recipe, but I made Rosemary-Brined Pork Chops with Apples and Potatoes. By brining the meat for 24 to 36 hours, it insures these pork chops will be juicy and flavorful. This is served with sautéed apples, shallots, potatoes, and rosemary.

Creamy Chilli, Bacon and Tomato Spaghetti

Spaghetti, four strips of bacon, a can of diced tomatoes, a bit of cream, spices, and viola, you've got a satisfying meal. This Creamy Chilli, Bacon and Tomato Spaghetti is of course topped off with parmesan cheese. These are all ingredients that I always have on hand. Made this last night when our kids came for a spontaneous dinner. We even made garlic bread out of some leftover hot dog buns! Talk about haute cuisine!

Coq Au Vin Blanc

Coq au vin is a classic French dish of chicken that is braised in wine, with bacon, and mushrooms. A red Burgundy wine is typically used, though there are variations in the different regions of France, such as coq au vin jaune, coq au riesling, coq au pourpre or coq au violet, and coq au Champagne. I actually prefer it using white wine. Coq au vin is basically a chicken stew.

Ham, Potato, and Leek Soup

This Ham, Potato, and Leek Soup has few ingredients and is quick and easy to make. You can replace the cream with stock if you want it dairy free. It's similar to Vichyssoise, though this version is served hot instead of cold.
