My family's favorite recipes...

So far so good on my Project 52 goal of cooking four nights a week!  The kids LOVE fish.  They ask for second and third helpings when we make it.  It is so easy to make, that we probably have fish at least twice a week.  Our favorites are grilled salmon and baked lemon pepper talapia.  Just brush with olive oil and sprinkle with spices, then cook.  Seriously, easy.  One night I made this recipe: Honey Pecan Glazed Salmon  .  Dave and I liked it, but the kids were a little less impressed.  Our home-made dessert this week was Peanut Butter and Honey Nut Cheerio Squares.  They were ok.  I would probably only add 5 cups of cheerios instead of six so they would get more coated with the peanut butter mix.  For a little more carb-o-licious meal, the all time favorite around here is Cheeseburger Pie, recipe straight from the Bisquick Box.  This is seriously a no-fail recipe and everyone around here loves it!
