Creations from Cost co

With a large group of boys--growing boys--Costco has become the grocery store of choice. It used to be that the bulk sizes of things would go to waste before we could use them up. That is no longer the case. I get tired of the huge bags of chicken nuggets, bagel bites, and other junk food the kids always want so I've tried to mix it up a bit. Here are a couple of 'gourmet' type recipes my kids actually like. They are super easy, so I thought I'd pass them along.
















The pictures are the ingredients. I boil the noodles to al dente. Drain. Then, I mix in the pesto, some sundried tomatoes, and crumbled bacon. I sprinkle feta on top. Voila! There you have it. I serve alongside some Salmon Patties (also courtesy of Costco). I melt some butter mixed with olive oil, put in the salmon, squeeze on lemon juice, and sprinkle with lemon pepper.

This breaks down gourmet recipes to their simplest form so that even I can understand. Your boys are eating Greek cheese and brie? Bravo! Thanks for sharing.

Funny timing on your post. Just before I saw this I was reading & getting hungry over a cookbook I got from Costco (that shows recipes with products from there). Sounds like this could be a good dish. Maybe you'll have to make it around Thanksgiving time.
