Hot Dog Noodle Casserole
This is a kind of fun recipe. If I had kids, they probably would like it. Like others, I added some Worcestershire sauce and a couple splashes of Tabasco Sauce. Also sauteed some onions and used Mushroom soup with Roasted Garlic. Fat Free Sour Cream and 2% cheese limited the fat. I love the fat free white smoked meat Turkey Hot Dogs...so the recipe is a lot lower fat than the original. Whole Wheat noodles also helped. I diced up some zucchini and added that to the soup mixture as well, to give it some REAL vegetable besides frozen peas. Doesn't hurt to mix it up a bit before putting it in the oven.

Creamy Macaroni and Cheese
Ok...so comparing to my Mom's simple M&C recipe as I grew up as kid...this is pretty darn good. I tend to adjust recipes to my preference from the "git go"...I used 8 oz 2% cheese and 8 oz full fat cheese. Also added a at least a Tablespoon garlic, about a cup of zucchini I grew and had available. I used one can of fat free evaporated milk and one can of 2% fat can. The cheese was fatty enough to make this a non issue. POC...Pasta of Choice is indicated here also. This is a nice version of our childhood version...a decent alternative.

Shrimp and Feta Cheese Pasta
Very, very good...even with individulal variations. I used 3 Roma tomatoe's, fresh Basil and added some mushrooms, onion, zucchini I grew (first time...isn't hard)plus more wine per other reviewer and some Smart Balance with the Olive oil/wine and extra garlic. I use reduced fat Feta and whole grain pasta also. The extra vegetables and sauce balanced the 16oz of pasta...or not, depends how you like it. Definately a "company friendly" recipe.
