Turkey and Spinach Stuffed Shells
I love the Novice Chef… she’s got some great stuff! These stuffed shells are pretty enough to serve at a dinner party, or casual enough to have for dinner any day. And I love the idea of making up a bunch in advance, and tossing them in the freezer to pull out when needed! Quoting the original site: Parsley is a bitch. Ya, I said it. I can’t grow it to save my life. Rosemary? Great. Chives? Awesome. Bas…
Roasted Tomato & Cannellini Bean Chicken
This was one of those meals born of that situation where you just want to make something good with what you have on hand… that “wow, I’ve got all these giant cans of whole tomatoes with basil in my pantry, what can I do with that?” feeling. Chicken leg quarters were on sale the other day, so I bought two large packages. So I had chicken. And I was looking at my collection of canned goo…

Microwave Lasagna
I was flipping through an old issue of Real Simple, and came across this recipe for Microwave Lasagna. Now we’ve posted several lasagna recipes here, but this was a new twist. I was initially skeptical, as my microwave is usually used for heating things up, not actual cooking of meals. But I figured this would be a great week night dinner if it works, so why not try it? Well, I’m hear to report th…

Butternut Squash Lasagna
We’re taking a couple of days off for the holidays, so we’re running a few old posts from when we first launched back in February! -ed As much as I’d like to take credit for this one, I have to confess that I saw it on TV…. Get Fresh with Sara Snow. I just love her! If she wasn’t younger than me, I’d say I want to be her when I grow up. We are friends on FB! I will say that this…
$5 Spaghetti with Pepper & Cheese, Spicy Broccoli
I ran across this at Pink of Perfection, and I thought it was perfect to share on Foodwhirl. Especially with the holiday season upon us, it’s nice to have inexpensive dinner ideas where you still feel like you’re treating yourself… To worry constantly about money is to lug over your shoulder a sack of bricks that you have to carry everywhere; it immediately affects all aspects of your q…
Homemade Ricotta Gnocchi with Roasted Tomato Sauce
MMMM… Gnocchi… Comfort food at it’s finest. And one of those things that I never had growing up, but am a huge fan of now. I will say that like Allison, I’ve generally been intimidated by making my own pasta (although Niki totally makes it look easy, here!). But these instructions for making homemade ricotta gnocchi seem like something I could take on… …At any rat…
Penne Pasta with Cream, Pesto and Tomatoes
(originally published June 2010) I’ve been experimenting with selling herbs at the local farmers market recently and the one that seems to sell the best is basil. I always seem to sell out early. So this last market, I took double what I normally take and guess what….. I didn’t sell it all. I did sell more than last time, but still had quite a bit left over, so started looking for recipes…
