Chicken, pasta, cheese, and red sauce – does it actually get any better? I actually came up with this recipe because what I had planned to make was more complex than I had the energy for. So I made something simpler with stuff that I always have in my kitchen. Chicken Mozzarella is so easyContinue reading “Chicken Mozzarella”
If you have never had a Cubano Sandwich before – you are really missing out. They are so delicious with ham, pork, swiss cheese, onions, pickles and mustard piled high on a nice crusty bread and usually grilled or pressed to melt it all together. I love them so much that I turned them intoContinue reading “Cubano Pizza”
Slow cooked meals are so easy to do – especially on a busy weeknight. And this one doesn’t even have that many ingredients but you get so much flavor out of it. Spicy Asian Chicken is perfect for a little fakeway homemade take-away. The sweet chili sauce and Sriracha combine to make a sweet andContinue reading “Spicy Asian Chicken #slowcooker”
The days are getting shorter and cooler – which means soup season is upon us! This Ravioli Soup is seriously so easy to make and so hearty – you are gonna be making it all the way through to winter. This is one of those “semi-homemade” sorts of meals as it does call for premadeContinue reading “Ravioli Soup”

AndContinue reading “Jalapeno Artichoke Dip Casserole”
One-Pot meals are always a go-to for me – especially as we get back into the swing of balancing school and work and life. They cut down on dishes but also build so much flavor by cooking everything all together. Some people balk at the idea of cooking pasta in a one-pot situation – butContinue reading “One-Pot Garlic Pasta”
Meatballs are another big favorite in our house. You can add so many different things to make them fit into different cuisines. Hawaiian Meatballs & Rice are so easy to make but they are literally bursting with flavor. What I love the most about this dish is that the heat of the Sriracha cooks downContinue reading “Hawaiian Meatballs & Rice”
Whenever I ask the kids for a dinner idea I get one of three suggestions – Burgers, Tacos and PIZZA! That’s probably why I make so many varieties of each. I mean geez I wrote an entire cookbook around Burgers (called Burgers on a Weeknight, if you’re interested)…maybe I should make a Pizza one too!Continue reading “Garlic Shrimp Pizza”
Sometimes you just really hit one outta the park! This Baked Rigatoni Jack is exactly that. It may sound like an odd combination – zucchini, ground beef, pepper jack cheese and pasta – but it works, for real. This time of year in the Pacific Northwest, everyone had zucchini and summer squash coming out ofContinue reading “Baked Rigatoni Jack”
If you follow along with me at all – you know that I love to make casseroles and bake. They are so perfect for weeknight meals. You get the stuff together and into the baking dish, then pop it in the oven so you can get a few more things down around the house beforeContinue reading “Chicken Enchilada Rice Bake”
