Barefoot Contessa How Easy Is That?: Fabulous Recipes & Easy Tips

Spicy Turkey Meatballs and Spaghetti : page 158
This was very good. It was indeed a bit spicy. The Italian sausage, although only a 1/2 pound to 2 pounds ground turkey (I used ground chicken), was a dominate feature in the meatball mixture. It seemed to overpower the prosciutto, so think it would probably be just as good with lean bacon. I liked the addition of asiago cheese in the meatball mixture.

Rich Beef Barley Soup : page 58
Need something rich and hearty for a cold winter night? Then this just might fit the bill. We all enjoy barley and my son likes oxtail stew, this seemed to be a good combination of the two. I didn't have leeks so I used some sweet onion in their place in addition to the other onion. I also left out the celery since neither hubby nor son enjoys celery. At first bite I though this was a little on the sweet side but after adding crackers to mine I enjoyed it much more. It's definitely filling and will warm you from the inside out. Next time I might leave out the bay leaf since hubby tends to object to them lately. Next time I might also add some mushrooms since we enjoy mushrooms and barley. I did make half a recipe.

Herb-roasted Turkey Breast : page 127
Since my Mom just had by-pass surgery and is still in the hospital we decided to hold off on our big Thanksgiving celebration until she's home. I decided to just roast a turkey breast and fix a few sides this year. This turned out delicious and just the right size for 8 people. We usually have 18 + I will be making this again. We loved the flavor the bit of wine in the roasting pan gave as well as the herbs. Very flavorful and the rub was easy to put together.
