I have made a few pasta dishes in my day and I would say that pasta a pretty solid staple in our house. It’s super cheap, really versatile and has a great amount of energy when the riding mileage is up. Most of the time I’ll mix it with a marinara sauce and veggies, top it with cheese and then broil until it’s golden and bubbly. If you want to take pasta to the next level, have a foodgasm, or impress your guests, then you should definitely make this recipe! I also have an appetizer with puff pastry to share that is super easy and super delish. [More Yum →]

Chris and I have been doing fairly well with the Eat In Month challenge so far. We are in the home stretch now! I have had a few slip-ups and went out to eat on the weekends on several occassions. Once after a bike ride with friends and a couple other times when I was invited to catch up with family. I’m definitely not going to turn down visiting with family that’s for sure. For the most part I have been doing well during the week with preparing enough food for dinners (a.k.a. giant casseroles) and prepping our lunches for the next day (if Chris doesn’t forget his lunch box on the counter!). In lou of going out to eat for a ‘date night’ per se, I whipped up these tasty date bars for a nice sweet treat we both enjoyed.

slurp. slurp. sluurrrp. That was the sound of our dinner table as we enjoyed this delicious soup. Nothing beats a comforting bowl of flavorful broth and tender noodles ready for slurping. This recipe was actually pretty easy and something I would make again. Great for the chilly nights of winter. [More Yum →]

It has been fantastic this week being able to come home and have dinner already practically done. That is the beauty of casseroles and why I love them so much. I just have to chop up some salad and dinner is done. Blam-o. They are great when you want to feed a butt-load or have lots of leftovers and they are super easy to prepare ahead of time. This enchilada casserole is sure to please… [More Yum →]
