Recipes that beat the winter blues
SPAGHETTI WITH GARLIC-SHRIMP BROCCOLI
Betty Kaiser's
8 ounces spaghetti, uncooked
4 cups broccoli fl orets
1/2 cup Tuscan House Italian Dressing
1 pound uncooked, deveined, peeled large shrimp
2 cloves garlic, minced’1/4 cup grated Parmesan Cheese
Cook spaghetti in large saucepan as directed on package. Add broccoli to the cooking water for the last 2 minutes.
Meanwhile, heat dressing in large skillet on medium-high heat. Add shrimp and garlic; cook and stir 3-4 min. or
until shrimp turns pink.
Drain spaghetti mixture; return to pan. Add shrimp mixture and cheese, mix lightly. Serve with a green salad and crusty bread.
Note: Recipe says that it serves 6 but I think it’s more like 4.
Cook's Corner
I
am so tired of winter. I can’t wait for the sun to shine and the
garden to brighten up meals at our house. The calendar may
say it’s springtime, but it doesn’t look springy to me. Looking
out the window the daffodils are struggling to bloom and the skies
are still gray and yucky. I know that we need the rain but I am really,
really tired of wet, cloudy weather and boring dinners.
So while I’m waiting for the weather to lighten up, I checked
out some of my old editions of “Food & Family” magazine. This
is my go-to recipe source when I’m really desperate for something
different to prepare for almost any meal. Kraft’s recipes are made
to order for busy cooks of all ages and anyone who’s just plain old
tired of cooking.
The thing I love about their recipes is that they look and taste spe-
cial AND I can usually fi nd most of the ingredients in my cupboard
and refrigerator. Also, if I have to run to the market and pick up
one or two ingredients it won’t break the bank. I always strike gold
when I pull out a stack of their quarterly issues.
Today I’m sharing some recipes that now have a permanent
home in my recipe box. They are especially colorful and tasty in
this gloomy weather. The shrimp, broccoli and spaghetti go togeth-
er so fast that you barely have time to set the table. And if company
is coming I guarantee that the Bacon-wrapped Pork with Mango
Salsa will be a hit. A quick Caesar Salad will be great with either of
the entrees and my not-so-secret instant pudding recipe will polish
off the meals with minimal effort if you add a store bought vanilla
wafer. Enjoy!
Keep it simple and keep it seasonal! Betty Kaiser’s
Cook’s Corner is dedicated to sharing a variety of
recipes that are delicious, family oriented and easy
to prepare. Contact her at (541) 942-1317 or email
