Creamy Pasta with Sausage and Tomatoes
Sometimes you want carbs, carbs, carbs but not all the calories and fat that goes with them. This recipe is perfect for those days. It’s loaded with noodles, cheese and creamy sauce, but it’s not going to set your arteries up for a stent procedure. The sausage adds a nice herby kick; while fresh tomatoes…
Veggie Egg Pie aka Quiche
Besides soup, egg pie is my youngest’s favorite dinner request. Which is ironic because she’s not a huge scrambled egg fan. Hard boiled egg whites – absolutely. Yellow yokey middle? Negative. But I digress. Since it’s super easy and you can literally throw whatever is lying around into a quiche, I make it pretty frequently….
Tarragon and Rosemary Pasta with Sausage
They say necessity is the mother of all inventions – and it was never truer than with this dish here. Got home late, everyone was hungry and I had cheese, sausage, pasta and kale. Needless to say, I was flying by the seat of my pants, but hot damn, did it turn out tasty! The…

Lemon Pasta with Pancetta
Pasta is one thing we can eat every day and not get sick of – so needless to say we eat a lot of pasta in our house. We had a dear friend for dinner last Sunday, and I wanted to make something easy, but comforting. And of course delicious! This one knocked it out…
Mozzarella Stuffed Marinara Burgers
Guys – these were so good. Even the sous chefs devoured them. I literally ate them standing at the kitchen counter. Whoops. Make them. Tonight. I had just enough Marinara sauce to do nothing with except throw it away or add a smidge to something. I was making cheese stuffed burgers so added it for…
Lemon Butter Pasta with Anchovies
I saw this on Instagram and knew I needed to make it. I don’t love anchovies, but for some reason this recipe spoke to me. And holy moly. It was good. Really, really, good. I adapted it slightly because I didn’t have the exact ingredients, but I don’t think it lost anything. Just super simple…
