Pasta with Shrimp, Tomatoes, and Arugula

I saw this on one of Giada's shows and thought it would be good over pasta instead of served on bruschetta. This was really very good, and easy enough for a weeknight meal. One batch of the topping covers half a pound of pasta very nicely.

Other changes I made include omitting the tarragon (don't like the flavor), using a can of drained diced tomatoes instead of the Romas, and substituting the new Philadelphia Cooking Creme for the mascarpone cheese.

Lo Mein with Pork

Quick and easy for a weeknight. I left out the mushrooms and used double the amount of snow peas. Definitely needs more soy sauce while serving.

Blood Orange Margaritas

Delicious! If you can't find blood oranges or juice, use half orange juice, half cranberry juice.

Seven Layer Greek Dip

A delicious, healthy, and easy to prepare appetizer! I used regular feta instead of the crazy feta and it still had tons of flavor.

S'mores Gooey Cake Bars

Another great dessert! Although I love white chocolate I didn't understand the need for it here and substituted milk chocolate chips for the white.

Gooey Chocolate Chip Sandwich Bars

One of THE BEST desserts I have made recently. Plenty of chocolate - I decreased the amount of chips in the top layer to two cups and there was still almost too much. Best when stored in the fridge.
