Listen, I love a good meat sauce, but sometimes, I don’t want meat sauce. I want veggies. But I want those veggies to be just as delicious as that meat. Possible? Oh yes! Just try My Mushroom Bolognese and I think you’ll agree!
The weekend is fast approaching and you need a meal that feeds the family, tastes good and doesn’t require tons of prep or time in the kitchen. Luckily for you, I’ve got the perfect meal! My Penne Pasta with Tomato Vodka Sauce!
This is a meal your family can get behind! Loaded with plenty of cheesy goodness, you can expect to hear, “more please!” when you serve up these Cheesy Sausage Lasagna Pinwheels dinner!
In case you haven’t been following along on my Instagram account (shame on you!), I’ve been doing this little thing called, “What Was That?” on my Instagram Stories. It’s a weekly series where I break down a cooking method, recipe, ingredient, etc, from the previous week’s episode of Top Chef. Fun, right? Yeah, tune in, you’ll love it! Essentially, I’m trying to make YOU a Top Chef in YOUR kitchen! Last week’s episode was all about German food. So this week, I dedicated my Stories to the beloved German dumpling, spatzle!
Does your family love pasta? I have 2 big pasta lovers in my household. And I grew up with a brother who could’ve probably housed an entire pound of spaghetti all by himself. Me? Not so much. Sure, I like pasta, but it’s not up there on my favorite foods list. So how do I fulfill my family’s pasta needs? I compromise with pasta salad!
I am trying something new. I know you’re busy, and there are likely times that you don’t even read my blog posts. Don’t worry, I’m not mad, I totally get it. You just want the recipe. I’m excited to start off this series with a simple recipe for Greek Pasta Salad.
Pizza and pasta are staples in my house. You can safely assume then, that I’ve purchased more than my fair share of jarred marinara sauce. Blown away by the cost of a jar of organic pasta sauce, I decided there was no reason I couldn’t make my own. So after some trial and error, I was finally able to come up with one that I really liked and it’s been a staple in my kitchen ever since.
This month’s Recipe Redux theme invited us to share our recipe for something that we once purchased, but now make from scratch. I am happy to share this marinara recipe, a healthy, low-sodium alternative to the jarred stuff. Don’t worry if you can’t eat it all at once, it freezes amazingly and also makes the perfect gift.
Simple ingredients are the key to this marinara.
Peppers, onions and garlic add the right touch of sweetness and complexity.
Bay leaf is a perfect, flavorful addition.
This marinara can be blended right in the pan, but be careful with the hot liquids!
A simple homemade tomato sauce that’s perfect for pizza or tossed with pasta.
