Pasta with Brie, Mushrooms and Arugula

I have never had Brie in pasta.  I have never even thought of adding it to pasta.  However, I am now a convert.  Wow.  We loved this! This was also very kid friendly dish with no overpowering flavors, just the right balance of gooey cheese and mild mushroom flavors.  The arugula adds a nice peppery background flavor without being spicy….

The Best Meatballs and My Three Day Marinara Sauce

Anytime I make meatballs and sauce, It motivates me to make them more often.  I cooked these up this weekend for my family and friend’s. Needless to say, the sixteen of us feasted.  Not one strand of spaghetti or spoonful of sauce was left.  No leftovers whatsoever. I use the pan drippings from my meatballs in my red sauce which gives…

Since I can’t seem to say no to a food request and because I happened to have two ripe bananas on the counter, I baked these up just before he came home…

White Cheddar Cheese Soup

So simple looking yet packed with an unreal amount of flavor, not to mention its perfectly thick consistency.  It’s just the way I like my soup, creamy, cheesy and yummy. Cheddar cheese soup has always been a favorite of mine but when made at home it can often turn out lumpy.  Cheddar has a tendency to clump together or get grainy…

Ravioli Lasagna

I love making lasagna in all kinds of different ways but I really appreciate the little twist this recipe offers.  It’s also so easy to throw together.  It does sort of feel like cheating when making this Ravioli Lasagna.  Using store-bought fresh ravioli and making a six-ingredient marinara with spinach filling that’s just stirred together works great for weeknights around here. Let me also mention…
