Meyer Lemon Cheesecake Bars

Meyer Lemon Cheesecake Bars are a nice twist on the traditional lemon bar.  Meyer Lemons are a cross between a lemon and an orange.  Slightly sweeter than a regular lemon with a much softer skin. You can only find them in the market for a short period of time. (At least that's true for around here!)  This recipe adds reduced fat cottage cheese to the filling layer of a traditional lemon bar, giving it the feeling of a creamy lemon cheesecake bar.  It's a nice change up from the ordinary.

Lighter Cheesy Tuna Noodle Casserole (without Canned Cream Soup)

I like a tuna casserole now and again, especially this time of year.  I've always made them with the standard "Cream of Something" condensed soup, but discovered the other day that I had no "cream of anything" in the pantry.
