Food, Wine, Family. Fun!
Do you love lasagna? We love it too - it's probably one of my son's favorite foods and something he never complains about eating. We always end up with four empty plates at dinner. I wanted to change things up and make stuffed shells, but in place of my regular filling recipe, I used the ingredients… Continue reading Lasagna Stuffed Shells
This recipe has been on my "to make" list for a while now and I finally got to it! It was really good, despite my kids complaining about it. I think the Parmesan was a little too strong for them. This meal is definitely on the heavier side with the cream sauce, and would be… Continue reading Meatballs in Mozzarella Basil Cream Sauce
I think fall has finally arrived and it's time to break out all the recipes for hearty and soul-warming foods. Lasagna is definitely one of those recipes and this one definitely doesn't disappoint! I've made this recipe several times before but realized I hadn't blogged about it yet. So here it is! It's super easy… Continue reading Turkey, Mushroom & Spinach Lasagna
Evenings have been a little crazy around our house the past couple of weeks, so I'm always looking for ways to get dinner on the table quickly. This recipe definitely did that...except I was the only one who enjoyed it. Everyone else in my family was just blah on it. Oh well, you can't always… Continue reading Slow Cooker Barbecue Chicken Pasta
Last month, I picked up an Instant Pot during the Prime Day sale on Amazon. I've been eyeing one and it was finally time to bite the bullet and get one. I've used it sporadically over the last month and I'm really going to use it once school starts next week and my dinner prep time… Continue reading Instant Pot Mac and Cheese
Well it's been a crazy week! I had all intentions to get caught up on recipes this week, but sometimes life throws you for a loop and everything goes out the window. My little guy started to get sick on Thursday night and I thought he was improving, but we ended up making a midnight… Continue reading Pesto Baked Rigatoni
I've seen pasta pies all over Pinterest and I thought it was about time that I try one out. My husband is not a fan of spaghetti, so I hoped he would like this. I'm a pasta lover and could eat spaghetti several times a week, but we rarely have it because he complains about… Continue reading Pasta Pie
First, I've finally created a page on Facebook for my blog. I know what's taken me forever and what was I waiting for. I'm not really sure since I spend so much time on social media both personally and for work. Make sure you like my page! http://www.facebook.com/joinuspullupachairI bought a pound of ground pork from a… Continue reading Skillet Ziti with Ground Pork
I love experimenting with different flavors of macaroni and cheese. This was such a different combination and it was really good. I love the addition of feta and the crunchy feta on top...YUM! I now need to find a recipe for broiled feta. This would be great served with grilled chicken breast or with a… Continue reading Mediterrean Mac & Cheese
I'm trying to eliminate as much prepackage food as possible in our house and this is a great recipe to switch out for boxed macaroni and cheese. We all loved the roasted garlic and it made a large casserole dish, enough for leftovers! I'm still trying to find the perfect mac and cheese recipe; but this… Continue reading Roasted Garlic Macaroni & Cheese
