I know its been awhile since I posted here, but I wanted to share what I made for dinner!

Creamy Greek Yogurt Mac & Cheese

Photo and recipe by Stephanie Spaltro

serves 6-8

1 pound of elbow pasta (You can use wheat pasta)
16 oz shredded sharp cheese (can use any kind that you prefer)
1 cup plain greek yogurt (I used Chobani)
4 cups fresh spinach
salt & pepper, to taste
1/4 tsp. onion powder
1/4 tsp. garlic powder


Cook the macaroni according to the package's instructions (about 8-10 minutes), until al dente.

Place the spinach leaves in the bottom of a strainer, and pour the pasta over top to drain and wilt the spinach.  Save about 1 and 1/4 cup of the pasta water.  Return the cooked macaroni and wilted spinach to the pot.

Add about 1/4 cup of the reserved pasta water to the pot, and stir in the cheese until melted.  Stir in the greek yogurt, onion powder, garlic powder, salt, and pepper, until smooth and creamy.  Stir in the remaining pasta water to thin, if necessary.  Serve immediately.



Serve and enjoy!!!

Chicken & Rice Bake

(Photo & Recipe by Stephanie Spaltro)

Ingredients:

1 Family size pack of chicken thighs...can use any kind of chicken though
1 large can Cream of mushroom or cream of chicken soup!  I used mushroom this time, but we love both!
2 cups cooked rice...can also use instant rice, whichever is faster and easier for you!
Salt and Pepper

Directions:

Preheat oven to 350 degrees

Mix soup and half can of water in a bowl and add salt and pepper...whisk good so that all the soup chunks are out of it.

cover bottom of a 13x9 baking dish

add chicken evenly.  Pour remaining soup mixture over chicken...even it out so that all of it is coated

Bake approx 45-60 minutes...I go more for 60 minutes because I have a sowmanila worry when it comes to chicken! =D

about 15 minutes before chicken is done, prepare rice according to package directions

when its done, server chicken over bed of rice with additional gravy!

Salt and pepper more to taste!

Serve and enjoy!!!
