Broccoli Cheese Stuffed Shells

20 Jumbo Shells, cooked and drained

1/2 pound ground sausage

1 jar spaghetti sauce (I use Bertoli Organic Olive oil, Basil & Garlic)

2 cups chopped broccoli

15oz Ricotta cheese

1 cup Mozzarella cheese

1/4 Parmesan cheese

1/2 tsp black pepper

1/2 tsp Italian Seasoning

garlic salt and onion powder to taste

Cook shells accordingly

Brown sausage

In a large bowl mix all cheeses, broccoli and seasonings. Add sausage. Stir well. Drain shells, rinse with cold water to you can touch them. Pour 1 cup of the spaghetti sauce into 9x13 dish. Stuff each shell with mixture. Set in dish. Pour the remaining spaghetti sauce over shells. Bake at 400 for 20-25 minutes.

This is quite good, I might try a different vegetable next time.

Peanut Butter Puffs

Perfect little kid snack and fairly healthy

In a small saucepan over medium heat, combine 1/4 cup honey and 2 Tbs brown sugar. Heat and stir until just boiling and brown sugar is dissolved. Remove from heat. Add 1/4 cup creamy peanut butter, stir until smooth. Then add 1 3/4 cup rice krispies and stir until evenly coated. Set aside to cool. Then scoop out and form into small balls. Let stand on wax paper in fridge for a few minutes then store in airtight container at room temp.

Fiesta Salsa Dip

So when I throw something together, I don't measure anything out. So I was really wanting a good salsa dip one afternoon and used everything I had on hand to come up with this...

2 tomatoes
2 avacados
1/2 red onion (I only had half, it could use the whole thing)
1 jalepeno, cleaned (2 wouldn't be a bad idea)
1 can black beans, rinsed
1 cup corn
4 garlic cloves
handful cilantro
juice of 1 lemon
a few Tbs olive oil
salt&pepper
garlic salt

Chop, dice, mince whatever you gotta do, throw it all together in a big bowl and stir together. Serve with tortilla chips. Hit the spot!
