With Cinco de Mayo right around the corner, I should be making something Mexican. But alas, I am not. Instead, I decided to go to the other side of the world! (If you’re looking for Mexican, check out all my Cinco de Mayo recipes.) Chinese food has never been my favorite, but I haven’t had…
Enchilada Stuffed Shells
I love Mexican food. I love Italian food. And when their powers combine… Enchilada Stuffed Shells! Nothing about these sounded bad. Shells filled with meat and refried beans, covered in enchilada sauce and smothered in melted cheese? Mmmm. They were amazing.

Lasagna Soup
I’m always really intrigued by recipes that take one food and transform it into a different food. Like buffalo chicken burgers, chicken tamale casserole, enchilada meatloaf, crab rangoon dip, carrot cake pancakes. You get the idea. There’s something fun about preparing a familiar food in a new and interesting way. Lasagna soup definitely fell into…
Mediterranean Chicken Pasta Bake

Unfortunately, moving included a few hiccups and to keep…

Pumpkin Patch Stuffed Shells
If you think pumpkin is just for breakfast and dessert, you are wrong, wrong, wrong. Pumpkin is just as awesome in savory dishes, like these stuffed shells! OK, so they’re not that photogenic, but I promise they taste 500 times better than they look! My Mom gave me her Rachel Ray magazine to read on…
Bistro Chicken
The original name for this recipe was “Easy Bistro Chicken”. Whoever named it was either a super gourmet chef, or a big, fat, liar. This recipe was by no stretch of the imagination “easy”. I started in the kitchen around 4:30 and we sat down dinner a little after 7. But if you actually enjoy…
