New Winter Recipes

In attempt to bring back my blog below are some links to the recipes I have prepared this week.  I have to say the "Healthy Fettuccine Alfredo" was enjoyed by everyone in my family.  My husband was shocked to see a pan full of "cream sauce" since that is definitely not something I typically make for dinner.  I must also tell you that I didn't tell my kids it was cauliflower sauce ... they were under the impression it was cheesy sauce.... what they don't know won't hurt them in this case :-)

The bulgur soup was very easy to prepare and we didn't have mint so I didn't use it but the crumbled feta was a great addition!  

I have never really gotten into buying frozen fish from Trader Joe's but one of my New Year's resolutions is to make fish once a week.  I tried the salmon recipe using the frozen Wild Alaskan Salmon from Trader Joe's and it was good.  I will definitely buy it again since the price was great and it turned out delicious.
