Apple Cheddar Penne Pie
Or as I've decided to call it: Fancy Pants Mac n' Cheese. I love everything about this dinner. First of all, anything that I get to eat as a main dish with "pie" in the title is awesome in my book. I've always heard how great cheese is on top of apple pie (but never… Continue reading Apple Cheddar Penne Pie
Pizza Puffs
Sometimes, sandwiches just aren't going to cut it for lunch. I mean really, I can't expect my kids to eat them every day just because I can make them in my sleep. I made these pizza puffs to change-up our mid-day meal today and my two preschoolers ate the entire batch. They devoured them so… Continue reading Pizza Puffs

Chicken Parmesan is my absolute favorite meal. While growing up I got to pick my birthday meal and chicken parm was my choice every single year. I never grow tired of it. It is perfection.

Creamy White Chicken and Artichoke Lasagna
Sometimes, it's really awkward to be a food blogger. I always feel really silly when I'm at a party taking pictures of food. But, since some of the best things I make are taken elsewhere to be consumed, I really don't have a choice. So, I whip out my trusty Canon and snap a couple… Continue reading Creamy White Chicken and Artichoke Lasagna

5 Minute Candy (Broiled Grapefruit)
Let me begin by asserting that I am NOT one of those skinny girls who thinks grapefruit is the perfect breakfast. I have never liked grapefruit and thought that people who ate it were crazy. <shudder> Sour and tart and just gross. I have tried several times to force myself into consuming this fruit, mostly… Continue reading 5 Minute Candy (Broiled Grapefruit)

Well, with this recipe you can make your own, in whatever quantity you can manage to make room for in between frozen corn and random half bags of ice… Continue reading Creamy Chicken Taquitos
Chicken Cacciatore
Cacciatore means "hunter" in Italian. Preparing food hunter-style basically means stick it in a pot, cover with fresh veggies and herbs and let it cook. Which is exactly what you do with this dish. It's hearty and delicious, full of fork tender chicken and a fantastic vegetable sauce. A perfect pairing with pasta and crusty… Continue reading Chicken Cacciatore
