My husband lived in Sweden for 20 years and moved to the states 3 years ago so this one is for him- to make him feel a little closer to Sweden. for this recipe I just winged it as i remember tasting it ( i only had it 1 time when we went back there for our honeymoon last summer). I used Chuck Roast for this but i would defininetly use a more tender piece of meat for next time. so here it is... enjoy.

This was a supper quick dish (except for cleaning the shrimp- next time I’m going to splurge and get some fresh cleaned shrimp) the best way to cook shrimp by far is in the oven- I’ve done shrimp 2 ways now in the oven and each time it turned out great.. here you go a shrimp scampi recipe- I read different recipes and then decided to wing it on my own... hope you enjoy this (a lot of the ingredient was eye-balled so feel free to do the same)

Picture up in the morning....

I made this chicken last night for dinner- it was very creamy without the cream (used milk) – A few pointers: using milk for most recipes instead of cream does cut out a lot of the fat . Marinate your chicken as long as you can. You can do this recipe with or without marinating your chicken before (both options are included in the recipe)

Picture up tonight!

OMG- i made a vegetable & turkey meat lasagna last night (with no pasta) and it turned out GREAT!! The idea came from my best friend and it was unbelievable! here is the recipe- everything in here you can substitute for your own favorite stuff- this is a totally "wing it" recipe. I hope you try this and love it as much as we did!

I had a lot of fresh spinach left over that I didn’t want to waste... I have seen a lot of recipes like this one- so I decided I would go into my kitchen and whip up something- not following a recipe... so here is what i came up with..

some pointers for myself and others perhaps- I would layer my dough with a little less spinach mixture next time around- and instead of puff pastry I would like to try this with pizza dough- the puff pastry was a little too oily for me. (alot of pictures)

I've been wanting to make something with fresh spinach for a very long time- and I have some left over bell peppers from my stuffed bell peppers so i found this recipe and gave it a try- it was great! I don’t have the exact measurements for the spinach or bell peppers- but eye ball it- it’s a salad you can't go wrong....

I made this last night, it didn’t take a lot of work which is something I was looking for. I didn’t have time to put anything except a salad on the side but it would be nice to serve this with some white rice or vegetables. Enjoy!!

This is a great way to start any dinner party- or an intimate dinner. I tried this recipe after I saw it on the Food Network- since then I have never cooked my asparagus anyway else.
