Individual White Chicken Pizzas

Cook up as many pizzas as you want tonight, and freeze the rest. This recipe calls for making your own ricotta cheese, which is easy to do in the microwave, but use store-bought if you're short on time. These pizzas are a fun and easy weeknight meal.

BLT Pasta

We used mezze penne, a smaller version of regular penne, but you can use any short pasta you like. The "lettuce" in this BLT is actually tender baby spinach. You could also substitute peppery arugula or even baby kale. Make this easy pasta recipe and have dinner on the table in 25 minutes!

Pulled Pork with Bourbon-Peach Sauce

Smoked paprika comes from a centuries-old tradition in which chile peppers are slowly dried over low-burning fires of Spanish oak and then ground into powder. In the slow cooker, this earthy, aromatic spice adds outdoor smoked barbecue flavor.

 

 


Serve with:
Grilled Corn
Side salad

Peaches-and-Cream Frozen Pops

Our version of the Creamsicle is silky, with distinct peachy flavor. It's a not-too-sweet pop that grown-ups will love but that's playful enough for all ages.
