Ahi Tuna Noodle Casserole {with a Lemony Thyme Sauce}
I recently got on a kick of looking for ways to ‘Deconstruct’ recipes. It seemed like a cool way to present a dish and the couple I have posted were quite fun. Next up on my ‘to-be-deconstructed’ list was Tuna Noodle Casserole. A comfort food dish that many of us grew up on (whether you liked it or not). My thought was to build the layers of flavor thoughtfully using top quality ingredients to deliver a bowl of comfort. I think I’ve succeeded with this one.

Turkey Piccata {with Mushroom, Spinach & Herb Couscous}
Jennie-O’s Ground Turkey, Italian Turkey Sausage, and All Natural Turkey Breast Tenderloins are all staples at our house, especially when we’re in Healthy Living mode…which is probably in order more often than not :) I originally made this Turkey Piccata recipe a couple years ago when I was a die-hard Weight Watchers girl. This dish has no lack of flavor but by simply exercising portion control AND measuring the added fats (as in measuring spoon) it can be a very figure friendly meal.

Mushroom, Spinach & Herb Couscous
I am a huge fan of couscous and an even bigger fan of changing it up each time we make it. For Mushroom, Spinach & Herb Couscous, I add diced fresh mushrooms, and sliced scallions to the cooking water, along with a tablespoon of olive oil, a teaspoon of fine chopped fresh lemony thyme, and about a 1/2 teaspoon of Mrs. Dash Garlic & Herb seasoning.

Cavatappi with Browned Brussels Sprouts and Buttery Breadcrumbs
I love a fall harvest dinner made with a star ingredient like Brussels sprouts. Once the only vegetable on my won’t-eat-foods list, the Brussels sprout has soared to the top of my favorite-food list. In the fall-winter months we seriously have them multiple times per week. I was flipping through my new Cooking Light magazine and without even reading the recipe I bookmarked the page for Cavatappi with Browned Brussels Sprouts and Buttery Breadcrumbs.

Green Bean Casserole {Deconstructed}
Finding these gorgeous Haricot Verts at the Farmers’ Market warranted a special recipe. Something just as fresh with flavor as they are. Hmm…green beans, first thing that came to mind is Green Bean Casserole. Not envisioning the from a can variety but instead a bed of creamy mushroom & thyme sauce, topped with these vibrant green beans, sprinkled with crispy onions and shaved Parmesan cheese. Now that could be amazing.
