Week of April 8, 2012

Here are some Ellie Krieger recipes to try:

MAC & CHEESE - This did not go over well with my son.  He figured out the dish contained sweet potatoes.  There is no fooling him.  But, if you are looking for a lower fat mac & cheese recipe this one is good.

This week is not so low-calorie.  Just my little boy and me all week.  We are going to keep things simple and fun.

MEATBALLS with and without spaghetti
This is a great recipe from Rocco Dispirito at:  http://www.food.com/recipe/chef-rocco-dispiritos-mamas-meatballs-102764

CUPCAKES
These are from Bobby Flay and are moist and delicious.
