Everyone from kids to adults will like this to the core as these pizza pinwheels are small, bite sized, appetizing pieces and will be vanished within seconds. I usually make veggie or chicken pizza every alternate weekend for my daughter who is a big fan of Italian dishes like the pasta or pizza.

O ne of the best things to have a food blog is that I get a chance to try different varieties of dishes so that I can feed my blog. This is one of the recipes which I was thinking to make for so long, as I was not sure about broiling. One day I tried and this is the result. Broiled Bell Pepper Pasta is one of the most preferred dinners on any day in my house. My kids, even the small one, love the pasta made in any sauce. They love Mac and Cheese a lot. So I make sure that they get all the healthy nutrients by adding lots of veggies. By adding different varieties of cheese and herbs, we can make the pasta more delicious and flavorful. In this recipe, I broiled the bell peppers till it becomes soft and the skin came out easily. We can also roast these bell peppers on the stove top. These freshly roasted peppers will give the pasta a nice smoky taste. I have mixed both penne and fusilli pasta. We can also add cooked chicken pieces instead of sausage. As my kids love to eat the small ro...

I heard a lot about these enchiladas. Once when I was googling something, I stumbled upon these enchiladas which I thought will make a perfect dinner. Kids are definitely going to love this as this dish contains loads of cheese. For the calorie conscious persons (like my husband), this can be made without adding any cheese and bake it as we make the normal enchiladas. Then too this tastes good. In most of the recipes, they were adding enchilada red sauce or green sauce. We get it ready-made in stores, but I made the sauce at home and we can store the remaining sauce if any left in the refrigerator.
