There's nothing more I love than a bowl of meatballs and pasta. I don't make it near as often as I'd like - trying to not eat pasta all the time and my husband is not a big fan of spaghetti.

Last week, the kids were home due to snow and extreme cold temperature. Of course they needed something to snack on, so I whipped up a batch of these delicious and easy muffins.

We're coming out of the Polar Vortex and I'm so glad I made this dish earlier in the week. It was the perfect thing for leftovers. I also love that it's made in a slow cooker ... throw it all into one pot and let it do it's thing while cooking. All this cold weather… Continue reading Beef Ragu over Papparedelle
Chicken thighs can be boring at times, but when you cook them in a sweet soy sauce, it makes them phenomenal! This recipe was quick and easy to make.
