Maple-Almond Quinoa Muffins

Power Foods cookbook, page 206

I am not one who craves variety for breakfast, the resolution has sort of forced it on me. Now I'm always on the lookout for something yummy, but still worth the PointsPlus.

Vegetable Stuffed Sole with Dill Butter

Power Foods Cookbook, page 154

I had picked up the ingredients for this recipe before I went on my trip, so this was a delicious and easy dinner to pick up and make (when all I really wanted to do was crash).

Blueberry Dutch Baby

Power Foods cookbook, page 23

I wanted to make a fun, yet kid-friendly breakfast while I was visiting my family. I had never had, much less made, a dutch baby before. Since it's basically just a giant pancake, I thought the kids would enjoy it.

I bring to you the first guest kitchen blog post! I had to go home for some family business and decided to take the blog on the road. Hope you enjoy.

Greek Chicken and Spinach Phyllo Pie

Power Foods cookbook, page 132

This is the main course I made in the first guest kitchen. This didn't quite match what I thought it would be when imagining how it would taste. It was still good, I just expected something more like the inside of a ravioli.

Tomato-Topped Corn Puddings

PointsPlus Cookbook, page 218

I had very different expectations for this savory side dish. I have to apologize in advance for the photos. It's really just a bunch of different colored liquids.

Spicy Oven-Fried Drumsticks

Power Foods cookbook, page 125

If you like spicy things, be sure to give this a try. It really packs a punch! The boys kept going back for more. I used chicken breast strips instead of drumsticks.

Grilled Steak Soft Tacos

Power Foods Cookbook, page 61

Not much to say here except they're exactly what you'd imagine. This is a great meal to make when you're short on time.

Lamb Chops with Mushroom-Thyme Orzo

PointsPlus Cookbook, page 149

I tend not to like lamb and I think I picked it because I saw "chops" and thought of pork. This is a really easy and quick meal with few ingredients.

Baked Chicken Packets with Zucchini and Tomatoes

Power Foods Cookbook, page 108

This is a very easy meal to make and alter. Starting with chicken breast, add any vegetables and seasoning you want, then bake!
