Spice up your Monday with this curry-based dish. Make it as shown for "Meatless Monday", or sub the fish sauce for soy sauce to make the dish vegetarian. This dish overflows with flavor from coconut milk, lemon grass, soy sauce, chiles, shallots, and cilantro. Tofu takes on the flavor of whatever it's cooked with.

An all time favorite deli sandwich, the ham and cheese, has been turned into a pizza. Pile delicious ingredients like ham, cheese, Fuji apples, and spinach on to a pre-made pizza crust for a fast, fun, and satisfying dinner. All you have to do is prep the toppings while the oven preheats.

Dinner just got way more fun with tacos turned to nachos. Your main concerns in terms of prep are just browning the beef and turning the tortillas to chips. These nachos utililize a cheese sauce, for ultimate dipping, rather than melted shredded cheese.

Mac and cheese just got better, can you believe it? Make your favorite side dish into a dinner entree by adding the flavor and goodness of a cheeseburger. Extra-lean ground sirloin, tomatoes, and parsley over wheat rotini noodles becomes a lighter hyprid of two classics.
