  This Blackened Chicken Alfredo is the NUMBER 1 pasta recipe on this entire website!!  Just the best EVER!  It is so creamy, flavorful and decadent.  It’s perfect for any special meal! Feels so fancy, but it is REALLY quite simple!         Recently, a reader recommended ZATARAIN’s Blackened Seasoning to me.  My family […]

        Spaghetti is one of my family’s favorite meals.  While we aren’t above a quick weeknight meal using a jarred sauce, we much prefer this homemade meat sauce.  This is our ‘go to’ recipe.  It does have to simmer for a couple of hours, but is OH SO WORTH the extra time! […]

        Pull out your stretchy pants for this one y’all!  Yum!  My hubby loves provolone cheese, bacon and pasta so I decided to combine all of these things into one decadent pasta bake.  It turned out so amazingly delicious, and I am not even normally a fan of store bought alfredo sauce. […]

I used to make the casserole for my hubby when we first got married.  It was so easy and required only 5 ingredients that I usually had on hand.  He requested it the other night and I had everything to make it except a block of sharp cheddar so I subbed some leftover cheddar slices. #WhateverWorks!

     I was on a mission this week to find alternatives to some of our favorite recipes that I could make easier.  Pepper Steak is one of our favorite family meals so I knew I wanted to find a way to make it in the slow cooker and make it a freezer meal! We […]

My mother used to make this super simple meal for us on busy Summer days for lunch!  We just absolutely loved it!  I am not a huge fan of boxed mac and cheese these days, but I will still gobble it right up this way.   And of course my kiddos love it just as […]

We eat a lot of ground beef.  It is relatively inexpensive and can be used in so many different types of family friendly recipes like some of our favorites: Enchiritos, 3 Meat Chili, Preacher’s Macaroni Casserole, and Easy Italian 3 Meat Penne Pasta.  Ground beef is like a blank canvas to us busy home cooks!  The […]
