Shrimp Pasta Salad With a Creamy Lemon Dressing
This lemon shrimp pasta salad is low in calories. Originally meant to be a side dish I made some healthy substitutions and added shrimp. Serve with asparagus, the entire family loves it.

Whisk yogurt, chicken broth, lemon juice, Dijon mustard, garlic, and 1 teaspoon black pepper together in a bowl until smooth.

Fill a large pot with lightly salted water and bring to a rolling boil. Stir in penne and return to a boil. Cook penne uncovered, stirring occasionally, until tender yet firm to the bite, about 8 minutes. Drain and rinse penne under cold water until slightly cooled.

Chocolate Kahlua Cake
This chocolate Kahlua cake is fabulous!
German New Year Pretzel
This is a traditional New Year treat in Germany. It brings luck when it's the first thing you eat in the New Year. Germans typically eat it with butter spread on it. Rather than a salty pretzel, this is a lightly sweet dough. I converted and translated this from metric measurement and German language, and it turned out just wonderfully!
Sushi Bake
This savory, satisfying sushi bake recipe is a local favorite in Hawaii. It's the only thing I make to take to parties anymore. Even at a smaller gathering, the baking dish is empty at the end of the night. Like most casseroles, this dish is very forgiving, so don't sweat it if you can't find an ingredient or aren't sure about the quantities.
