Mini Grilled Cheese and Tomato Sandwiches When I was growing up grilled cheese for dinner was a pretty common occurrence in our house. Now that I’m a mom, I can see why my mom was a fan. Easy, inexpensive, everyone likes them. No one complains. My mom made them with Kraft Singles Cheese and one of the highlights of grilled cheese making was my sister and I opening the plastic wrap on those Singles and peeling the cheese off the plastic. We tried to open the cheese without dinging or breaking the cheese corners. I will never forget all the cheese my sister and I used to eat in a sport I’d call squares-of-cheese-folding. Give kids a package of Singles and it doesn’t take long before cheese folding, stacking, tearing, and even cheese art happens. You can use cookie cutters and cut out pretty cheese shapes, layering cut out pieces on top of other pieces. I also grew up in Minnesota, just one state away from Wisconsin where cheese eating is a statewide sport. And let’s face it, anything that’s mini just tastes better. Except mini.
Classic Baked Acorn Squash Recipe Method 1 Preheat oven to 400°F. 2 Using a strong chef's knife, and perhaps a rubber mallet to help, cut the acorn squash in half, lengthwise, from stem to end. Use a spoon to scoop out the seeds and stringy stuff in the center of each half. Score the insides of each half several times with a sharp knife. 3 Coat the inside of each half with 1/2 a Tbsp of butter. 4 Bake in the oven for 1 hour to 1 hour 15 minutes, until the squash is very soft and the tops are browned. Cajun Chicken Pasta Note: Since this recipe is featured on the Food Network episode this morning, I’m bringing it to the front for easy reference. This really is one of my favorite recipes here on The Pioneer Woman Cooks, and I regularly hear from people who’ve made it with great success. Crowd-pleaser! This is an exceedingly yummy, decadent pasta dish with chicken, vegetables, and lots and lots of scrumptious carbs. It’s a cinch to throw together, and if you don’t have prepared Cajun spice in your cabinet, you can just throw a few spices together to make your own combination. Different Cajun spice mixtures use different combinations of ingredients, but if you stick to basics like cayenne pepper (important!) Just remember: part of the deliciousness of this pasta dish is the spicy kick. Here’s how you make it. Oh. Start by slicing the veggies: Lop the top and bottom off of the red pepper… Then slice the pepper down the middle. Rip out the innards… Then make slices—not too thick, not too thin. Be generous! Yum.
Pizza Cavolfiore Recipe I'm usually a big fan of the home-packed sack lunch. The combination of short work breaks and abundant fast food means buying lunch usually isn't worth the bother. I'd choose a home-made soup and salad, or even a humble sandwich, over most take-out options any day. But. But. Not in New York. This past winter I worked in SoHo, the home of lunch options both overpriced and fabulous. When you hear the word pizza, it immediately conjures up images of cheesy slices. I know this seems strange. Pizza Cavolfioreroasted cauliflower inspired by Jim Dixon, dough adapted from Jim Lahey via Smitten Kitchen, and the whole combination inspired by Grandaisy Bakery. This dough is a lot drier than most pizza doughs, more like a traditional loaf bread dough than a soupy pizza dough. Dough:1 cup cool water1 tsp instant yeast (or 1 1/4 tsp active dry yeast)1/2 tsp salt3/4 tsp sugar3 cups all purpose flour (you can substitute whole wheat flour -- add an additional 2 Tbsp water for each cup you swap)

Tuscan Bean Soup with Shrimp I’m Pioneer Woman. And I’m obsessed with soup. This delicious take on the simple, classic Tuscan Bean Soup has a nice tangy tomato edge and plenty of chunky wonderfulness…with just a hint of sass. Just kidding about the sass part; I just felt like throwing it in. The soup also contains kale, which happens to be my boyfriend right now. I added sauteed shrimp to the top of the finished soup, which might be a bit weird. The Cast of Characters: Onion, garlic, tomato paste, canned tomatoes, canned Great Northern beans, chicken broth, kale, butter, parsley, shrimp, red pepper flakes, dried oregano, fresh parsley, fresh basil (if you can get it), and Parmesan (or Romano) cheese. Oh, and wine. Start by throwin some diced onion… And some garlic into a pot w/ some olive oil over medium-high heat. Stir it around and cook it for a couple of minutes… Then throw in some tomato paste. Next, throw in some red pepper flakes and some dried oregano, then stir it around and cook it for about 30 seconds or so.
A College Guide to Eating Healthy This is a guest post from Thomas Frank. Have you said any of these things recently? “I’ve got eight tests this week, so I’ve decided to only sleep every other night.” If so, you probably fall into the same group of Nerd Fitness readers that I’m in: college students. For students like me, Nerd Fitness is a gold mine of awesome information and motivation.

College just seems to throw up a lot of roadblocks to healthy eating that non-students don’t seem to have to deal with, including super-tight budgets, lack of cooking tools, and ridiculously busy schedules. I’m going to help you break through these roadblocks.

That’s why the key here is to focus on doing good, not on being perfect. I think there is.
