Did you know today is "National America Makes Dinner Day?" I use Cozi for our family calendar and I absolutely love it! It's been great to keep our lives a little more organized (plus I'm working on a couple other projects to help with that) especially since Madeline started Kindergarten this year and there's so… Continue reading Meat Filled Jumbo Shells
Well we survived Hurricane Irene...whew! It's still raining and windy this morning, but the worst is over. I will say it was scary at times throughout the night when tornado watches were popping up all over the place. We're stuck at home for most of the day today since there's trees and power lines down. Luckily… Continue reading Mac & Cheese Stuffed Tomatoes
One of my favorite things about summer is fresh corn! I love being able to stop at a farm stand on the way home from work and pick up a dozen ears of just picked corn. It's so sweet and perfect. This year has been a good year for corn and we've been eating as… Continue reading Summer Corn Linguine

Cooking isn't high on my priority this week since I'm trying to relax and enjoy my vacation from work. I bought… Continue reading Four Layer Lasagna
I was a little hesistant to make this for dinner tonight....I mean cabbage and sausage with spaghetti? I will warn you, this recipe makes a lot! My husband and I thought it was really good, but it didn't go over well with our little one. She picked out all the cabbage. Oh well, I guess… Continue reading Spaghetti with Sweet Sausage and Cabbage

It was so good and my husband had two helpings even for a meat and potatoes guy!2 Tbsp butter12 oz baby bella mushrooms, cut… Continue reading Portobello Mushroom Stroganoff
I saw this recipe in the November issue of Parents magazine and thought it would be a great way to eat more butternut squash. It's really mac & cheese with baked butternut squash. I think next time I make it, I'll add breadcrumbs to the top to make a little crust.2 cups butternut squash cut… Continue reading Butternut Squash Macaroni & Cheese
