Dinner

Jessica and her family love taco night because everyone helps out and everyone gets to make their own taco. This recipe can be made by the whole family at once!

This pasta recipe was sent to us by Debby and her daughter, Megan. Little Meg helps with the chopping and grating of veggies as well as during clean up time, too – what a great kid!

Use the Turkey Bolognese with Whole Wheat Spaghetti as the base for this chili. Better yet, eat the Bolognese one night and use the leftovers to make the Turkey Tomato Soup for your kids’ lunch box and the rest to make the chili!

The launch of Yum-o! as an organization was announced on my daytime television show. I taught a hard working mom this meal. For years, she and her husband had felt disappointment in their ability to get their daughters to eat a well-balanced diet. We cooked this rollover supper together: plenty of lean meat and vegetables in a rich pasta sauce over whole grain pasta, the leftovers of which became a simple soup and a spicy healthy chili. The mom felt so empowered that she cried – then I joined in. Good food can be good for your soul, too. Cook this recipe one night and serve with a green salad. Use the leftover sauce to make Turkey Tomato Soup and then Turkey Vegetable Chili the third night.

This is one of our favorite comfort foods at Yum-o!

You can prepare the shrimp and sauce while you boil the water and cook the pasta – each takes about five minutes.

This meal is a feast and it’s super fast! The sauce cooks in just one minute – really!

You’ll need a 3-inch round cookie cutter with sharp edges to make these pizzas.

Mac and cheese isn’t the only kind of baked pasta. Baked pasta can also be traditional Italian casseroles (called Pasta al Forno in Italian) like lasagna or baked ziti. –RR

Try this dish with our Barbecued Succotash.

This dish goes well with our Spicy Honey-Nut Chicken.

Chicken Cordon Bleu is fancy breaded chicken stuffed with cheese and ham. This is chicken, ham and cheese, but much simpler to make!

Now here’s a yum-o! burger that will keep you satified and healthy!

My sister Maria makes this dish in memory of our Grandma Betar’s cooking. As children, we loved Grandma Betar and her wonderful Middle Eastern cooking.
