Almond butter granola bars

http://recipes.sparkpeople.com/recipe-detail.asp?recipe=874413

They taste like oatmeal cookies!! so yummy easy and healthy. I used almonds and raisins. I liked the mix although I think I used too many raisins. I mix it up....you could do chocolate chips?

It was a very nice different recipe then chocolate and peaunut butter granola bars.
ENJOY!

Fish Taco's Ultimo!

http://allrecipes.com/recipe/fish-tacos-ultimo/detail.aspx?event8=1&prop24=SR_Title&e11=fish+taco%27s&e8=Quick+Search&event10=1&e7=Home+Pagehttp://m.allrecipes.com/recipe/221935/fish-tacos-ultimo


If you have ever been interested in making fish taco's or love to eat them, these are SO good! The fish wasn't too fishy. After we came home form Oregon we were wanting some really good fish. These are very easy and the sauce seems pretty healthy. We had them in corn tortillas but I am sure you could make homemade torillas.
The adobe peppers are hot though, so maybe don't put as much in and taste it as you go.
Enjoy!

Presto Pasta

This recipe is simple and fast.  I like it because the ingredients are ones I usually have on hand.  It came from the Taste of Home magazine for April/May 2011 by Debbie Verdini.

Cook 8 oz. linguine according to package directions, drain.  (Beth used garden veggie pasta-loved it!)  Cook 4 cups fresh spinach, 1 1/2 cups roasted sweet peppers  (Beth used a chopped red bell pepper instead), and 4 minced garlic cloves in 3 T. olive oil until spinach is wilted.  (Beth also added two chopped roma tomatoes near the end of cooking the spinach).  Toss with 6 oz. drained ripe olives.  Add salt and pepper.  Serves 9  (Beth doesn't think it serves that many because I like mine not so noodley.  I just put noodles on my plate and add as many veggies as I think look good instead of tossing it all together).
