Some Great Recipes

I'm still feeling under the weather, so I didn't have a chance to prepare a recipe for this week. Instead, I offer up some of my favorites from Cooking Light (for those who don't buy the magazine, this month's access code is TESTKITCHENS):

• La Bamba Casserole - quick, easy and delicious
• Ragù Alla Bolognese with Fettuccine - this recipe takes a little more time and effort, but is totally worth it (I've used all ground beef and it's come out delicious)
• Spicy Soba Noodles with Chicken in Peanut Sauce - the combination of soba and peanut is fabulous (boiled chicken isn't one of my favorite foods, so I usually pound the chicken breast to 1/4-inch thick, then saute it)
• Streuseled Sweet Potato Casserole - perfect for the holidays
• Blueberry Brunch Cake - the cake is so good, it doesn't need the sauce
