Mmmmm, Mmmmmm!

The past week I tried a new recipe, and an oldie but goodie. Here they are, try them if you want. Remember, I'm cooking for a husband that eats 24/7 and 3 growing kids, so if your family is smaller you may need to 1/2 the recipe!

First, I found this recipe in another Kraft Foods magazine. It took less than 30 minutes, and was a big hit with all of the kids!

3 packages of 3-cheese tortellini
2-3 cups of frozen peas
8oz cream cheese, 2 cups milk, 1/2 cup Parmesan cheese, deli ham

Cook the tortellini according to directions
Drain Tortellini, in saucepan heat 8oz cream cheese, 2 cups of milk, and 1/2 cup of Parmesan cheese. Add frozen peas and sliced up deli ham (to personal preference, I used ham lunch meat). Add tortellini and heat on low until sauce thickens slightly. Eat & enjoy!

Last night I made a family favorite, Meat Balls and Dill Sauce. My Mom has been making this as long as I can remember, and I still love it! The sauce is also great on mashed potatoes or noodles.

I used 1 bag of already made frozen meatballs, cooked according to package, but if you want to make your own mix hamburger & sausage, add a splash of 1/2 & 1/2 and breadcrumbs, form into 2" balls, and bake until done. (Sorry about the vagueness, I warned you I'm not a good cook, I just fly by the seat of my pants!)
For the sauce:
1 cup margarine
1/2 cup flour
2 cups sour cream
2 cups chicken broth
2 tbsp. dill weed

Heat margarine, and add flour to melted margarine. Mix well with wire whisk, then add chicken broth and sour cream and heat thoroughly. Add dill weed. Add cooked meat balls, or pour over the top of meat balls and serve!

Tonight, I'm taking the dinner shift off. Watch for new recipes soon, I plan to try a few more later this week!
