Try Something New! It's A New Year, So Why Not?
I love getting recipes sent to me-you get set on eating the same thing, kind of, over and over-and this shakes things up! I'm realizing I should be trying new foods more often, as I see more and more suggestions of what else is out there. I usually can't think of anything exciting to do with vegetables, and then I happened across this recipe~
Cauliflower Casserole
1 medium head cauliflower, broken into florets
1 cup (8 oz) sour cream
1 cup (4 oz) shredded cheddar cheese
1/2 cup crushed corn flakes
1/4 cup chopped green pepper
1/4 cup chopped sweet red pepper
1 teaspoon salt
1/4 cup grated Parmesan cheese
paprika
Place cauliflower and a small amount of water in a saucepan; cover and cook for 5 minutes, or until crisp-tender. Drain. Combine cauliflower, sour cream, cheddar cheese, corn flakes, peppers, and salt; transfer to a 2 quart baking dish. Sprinkle with Parmesan cheese and paprika. Bake, uncovered, at 325 for 30-35 minutes or until heated through.
Yield 6-8 servings
If you don't eat meat, Cauliflower Casserole could be a good main dish for you. I can't wait to try it-it really sounds good!
Here's a chicken recipe I got in an e-mail:

It Must Be Cheesecake Day
Cheesecake is probably one of the best foods ever invented. I've been thinking about cheesecake since I was on Twitter this morning and came across cheesecake.com. They're more than cheesecake too, but for some reason the cheesecake part really stuck with me. With that said, it comes as no surprise I put two cheesecake type recipes on my website today. This weeks' featured recipe just happens to be Cheesecake Dip.
Cheesecake Dip
Cheesecake Dip
1 jar marshmallow creme
2 (8 oz.) packages cream cheese (you could probably subsitute low-fat)
Simply beat the softened cream cheese with the mashmallow creme until it's light and fluffy. Use it in any of the following ways:
1. Put in a graham cracker crust and chill. It makes a good "no-bake" style cheesecake.
2. Use it as a dip for fruit.
3. Scoop into individual dessert dishes and top with pie filling, ice cream topping, chocolate-anything that goes well with cheesecake.
4. Stir in 1/4 cup peanut butter and use as a filling between 2 chocolate cookies or graham crackers.
You can find the recipe for an easy 3-Step White Chocolate Cheesecake on my website now also.
I know a ton of people like cake-it's not really something I have a taste for, BUT, once I tried this Tropical Dream Cake, I can say I've finally met a cake I like! It practically melts in your mouth, and is so light and fluffy you don't even feel like you're eating cake.
Check out the new "Snacks" category on my website. I've posted the recipe for the Original Chex Party Mix. Remember, the REAL kind, with the peanuts?
There's many more recipes to choose from on my website, http://www.recipemoms.com/. Pick and choose from different categories to create a delicious meal.

Easy, Quick, and Delicious~It's What's For Supper
Recipe Moms is a place for busy (or, not so busy!) moms to get new ideas for great meals, share favorite recipes, tips, and tricks, and exchange ideas about what's for supper.
Our mission is to continuously provide mouth-watering alternatives to stopping for fast food, while still getting food fast! Pick from different categories to create a delicious meal.
We welcome your recipe submissions, tips, suggestions, questions, etc.! http://www.recipemoms.com/
Our categories include:
and we are in progress of adding more.
Our featured recipe of the week:
Mix together 1 package coleslaw mix, 1 bunch green onion, 1 cup sunflower seeds, 1 cup chopped or slivered almonds, and 1 package of beef flavored Ramen noodles, crushed.
Just before serving, mix together 1/2 cup oil, 1/4 cup sugar, 2 3/4 tablespoons white vinegar, and the seasoning packet from the Ramen noodles. Pour over the coleslaw mixture and stir well. Enjoy!
I would recommend a main dish of Teenager's Delight as a good one to pair with the Ramen Crunch Salad. If you've still got room for dessert, how about Cherry Brownies?
