I’m not a big sandwich person. So on the mornings when I’m feeling too lazy to pack something for lunch, I can always purchase something from the cafe. The best days are when mac and cheese is on the menu. No, it’s not the healthiest dining choice I could make, but our cafeteria prides itself on serving “creamy and delicious” lunches. Now, while their mac and cheese is quite good, I knew I could do better at home. Granted, I don’t have to make anywhere near the quantities … Continue reading →]]> http://www.dawnsrecipes.com/baked-macaroni-and-cheese-738.htm/feed 6 http://www.dawnsrecipes.com/pan-seared-scallops-on-linguine-with-tomato-cream-sauce-115.htm http://www.dawnsrecipes.com/pan-seared-scallops-on-linguine-with-tomato-cream-sauce-115.htm#comments Sun, 06 Jan 2008 12:24:43 +0000 Dawn http://www.demeo-web.com/wordpress/?p=115 Updated Lately it seems I don’t eat as healthy as I should, but I still love this recipe from the January 2003 issue of Cooking Light. It seems so indulgent with the cream and butter, but so little is used that you don’t have to feel guilty about it. I haven’t made it in a while, so I thought it would be a nice change from all those heavy holiday meals and leftovers I’ve been eating lately. I used a whole wheat pasta this time to make myself feel even better about it. It was perfect! Aside from the darker … Continue reading →]]> http://www.dawnsrecipes.com/pan-seared-scallops-on-linguine-with-tomato-cream-sauce-115.htm/feed 1 http://www.dawnsrecipes.com/beef-stroganov-203.htm http://www.dawnsrecipes.com/beef-stroganov-203.htm#comments Tue, 13 Nov 2007 20:04:50 +0000 Dawn http://www.dawnsrecipes.com/beef-stroganov-203.htm This recipe is adapted from the October 2001 issue of Gourmet. I’ve made some minor changes to both the ingredients and the cooking method. The original recipe claims this serves six, but I think you’d be left with six hungry people on your hands!  My husband and I finished it off with two helpings each.  Next time I make this I’ll double the recipe to have leftovers. 3 1/2 tablespoons unsalted butter 1 tablespoon all-purpose flour 1 cup beef broth 1 (1-lb) top sirloin beef, fat trimmed, sliced 1/4 inch thick 2 tablespoons olive oil 1/2 cup thinly sliced shallot … Continue reading →]]> http://www.dawnsrecipes.com/beef-stroganov-203.htm/feed 0 http://www.dawnsrecipes.com/fettuccine-with-wild-mushroom-sauce-193.htm http://www.dawnsrecipes.com/fettuccine-with-wild-mushroom-sauce-193.htm#comments Sun, 28 Oct 2007 21:53:26 +0000 Dawn http://www.dawnsrecipes.com/fettuccine-with-wild-mushroom-sauce-193.htm I love when things just naturally come together. I recently bought myself the KitchenAid pasta roller attachment for my stand mixer, something I’ve been eye-balling for a long time. Then I scanned through this month’s issue of Bon Appétit and found a how-to article on making fettuccine. Since this was my first pasta-making attempt, I didn’t modify the recipe in any way. It was absolutely wonderful, although I’m now inspired to create my own flavored pastas. If you’d like read the how-to, it’s also available online here. Turning a couple of pages I saw the recipe for Wild Mushroom Sauce. … Continue reading →]]> http://www.dawnsrecipes.com/fettuccine-with-wild-mushroom-sauce-193.htm/feed 2 http://www.dawnsrecipes.com/fresh-calamari-stew-180.htm http://www.dawnsrecipes.com/fresh-calamari-stew-180.htm#comments Wed, 10 Oct 2007 11:30:42 +0000 Dawn http://www.dawnsrecipes.com/fresh-calamari-stew-180.htm The leaves are turning, the temperature is dropping, and it seems to rain every other day. Fall is hear, and that means its time to think of comfort foods. I found this recipe in an old cookbook my mom had. It’s called Leone’s Italian Cookbook by Gene Leone, and was published in 1967. It has some amazing recipes, albeit a little outdated. I changed a few things here to improve the taste and make the instructions a little easier to follow. My husband and I were quite happy with the results! I served it with some penne to balance out … Continue reading →]]> http://www.dawnsrecipes.com/fresh-calamari-stew-180.htm/feed 0 http://www.dawnsrecipes.com/chicken-marsala-84.htm http://www.dawnsrecipes.com/chicken-marsala-84.htm#comments Thu, 24 May 2007 15:52:01 +0000 Dawn http://www.demeo-web.com/wordpress/?p=84 Continue reading →]]> http://www.dawnsrecipes.com/chicken-marsala-84.htm/feed 3 http://www.dawnsrecipes.com/beef-stroganoff-90.htm http://www.dawnsrecipes.com/beef-stroganoff-90.htm#comments Thu, 24 May 2007 15:06:51 +0000 Dawn http://www.demeo-web.com/wordpress/?p=90 Continue reading →]]> http://www.dawnsrecipes.com/beef-stroganoff-90.htm/feed 0 http://www.dawnsrecipes.com/pasta-salad-62.htm http://www.dawnsrecipes.com/pasta-salad-62.htm#comments Thu, 24 May 2007 11:32:31 +0000 Dawn http://www.demeo-web.com/wordpress/?p=62 Continue reading →]]> http://www.dawnsrecipes.com/pasta-salad-62.htm/feed 0 http://www.dawnsrecipes.com/gnocchi-salad-12.htm http://www.dawnsrecipes.com/gnocchi-salad-12.htm#comments Thu, 24 May 2007 01:14:34 +0000 Dawn http://www.demeo-web.com/wordpress/?p=12 Recipe: Gnocchi Salad Prep time: 10 minutes Cook time: 10 minutes Serves: 8 Ingredients 1 pound gnocchi, cooked according to package directions, drained and cooled 9 ounces grape or cherry tomatoes 8 ounces fresh mozzarella, small size small handful fresh basil leaves, shredded 2 tablespoons olive oil juice of 1/2 a lemon salt and pepper, to taste Instructions Combine all ingredients in large bowl and gently toss.
