This six-ingredient Penne Noodle Bake is an affordable family meal that is easy to make. I’ve got some ground chuck that I bought on sale this weekend at Publix, so I thought I’d use it with some of the Ragu and pasta noodles that I stocked up on in the last couple of weeks. This …

The first few times I made this Spaghetti with Chicken Meatballs recipe I used it with ground beef. Very quick and easy. Since Publix had their ground chicken on sale this week, I thought I would give the original recipe a try. This should fit in nicely with any “dieting” New Years Resolutions. This turned …
I love quick, easy, family-friendly meals like these Easy Stuffed Shells. This was was a crowd pleaser. It has been hard to get Ella to eat anything of substance lately, and she loved the meatballs in this! I had some meatballs in my freezer, but Publix did have some on sale this week. Prego pasta …
Cowboy Spaghetti, does it get any better than this? I love finding new recipes to use with the ground beef I keep in the freezer. Some nights when I don’t plan a dinner, its nice to be able to grab some out of the freezer, throw it in the pan, and brown it up. I …
I wasn’t going to make Chicken Scallopine, but I’m glad I did! When I originally planned this meal out for the Menu, I was going to make Pork Scallopine. Publix had their pork loins on sale this week, and I was going to have the butcher cut it into pork chops for me. I still haven’t …
Creamy Taco Mac an ode to those good ‘ole childhood days of Hamburger Helper. Or maybe I should say good ‘ole college days of Hamburger Helper, being that I never ate it until then! I will admit that I have a couple of boxes in the pantry for emergency dinner nights when I’m good with …
Creamy Kielbasa Tortellini Skillet is a simple recipe for busy moms (or anyone else of course). My kids love summer sausage, kielbasa, and all varieties of Conecuh sausage (thank you Alabama). They also love tortellini, I think we may be the only people who will eat it before cooking (I love it that much). So …
This One Pot Spaghetti and Meatballs recipe turned out yummy. Not a “stoup” like Rachael Ray’s original recipe. Closer to a big bowl of spaghetti and meatballs. But, it all cooks in the same pot…hence the new name! Rachael Ray describes her “stoup” as thicker than soup but thinner than a stew. I think I …
I made this Sausage and Spinach Stuffed Shells because frozen spinach is a great bargain at the grocery store. Just think of all of the bags of fresh spinach it would take to wilt down and fit into a 10-oz. Frozen box of spinach. A lot! This recipe is a great way to sneak spinach …
Dawn Hoover, the columnist from Spice of Life, sent this Taco Filled Pasta Shells recipe to me a couple of weeks ago. I knew it was something that I wanted to make. Anything stuffed in a pasta shell has to be good! I think if I made this again, though, I would add more cream …
This Zesty Penne with Sausage and Peppers was so delicious! I just recently started cooking with Italian Sausage since I’ve picked it up during the sales at Publix and Winn Dixie. I like the change it gives me in my regular dinner routine. I found this recipe in a Philadelphia Cream Cheese inserts in one …
Sometimes I get tired of the same pasta-noodles-cheese combinations, so I made these Lasagna Roll-ups. I did this one a few years back, and to be honest, I’ve forgotten about it! It is a little more time consuming than just a regular noodle-sauce-pasta-in-the-oven-dish, but it is so worth the extra prep work. I love ricotta …
I love this Pasta Carbonara Florentine even though spinach is not something that I eat often. I don’t dislike it; it’s just not something that I’m full of ideas for! But, it is Super healthy and should be eaten more often. So, to pull myself in, I combined it with pasta, eggs, and bacon! Pasta …
I made this Taco Pasta Toss right before Easter, but forgot to post it! I love taco salads, as you know, and this is a lot like one. Only this one is served with noodles instead of chips. My husband wasn’t sure if he was going to like it. He loved it! Put this one in …
I changed this Italian Sausage Penne Bake up a bit from the original recipe I played with a few years ago. Publix had their Italian sausage on sale for $2.99 lb. In my original recipe, I used some of the chicken sausages that you can find in some of the grocery stores. Either one works. …
I love this Chicken Spaghetti. If you haven’t checked out The Pioneer Woman website, you must do so right now! She also has a cookbook which I recently ordered from Amazon. Mine came in the mail today!! My sister-in-law requested a Chicken Spaghetti recipe last week, and I didn’t have one to give her. So, …
