Tortellini Meatball Soup with Mini Baguettes

December 6, 2011 by Tiffany

This meal is so fast to get on the table. The soup cooks up very quickly and Sister Schubert’s Mini Baguettes are not only the prefect accompaniment, they are also quick to the table.

Do you like dipping bread in your soup? I do and these were perfect for doing that. The outside of the baguette is crunchy, making them great for dipping. The inside is soft and warm, which gives them a homemade taste. I also really appreciate that they are individual servings, versus a whole loaf that needs to be cut. When you need to get dinner to the table fast, every little time-saving step helps!

The other thing I love about this whole meal is that it requires no advanced planning. It’s basically a pantry/freezer meal. All the ingredients can be kept on hand and pulled out when you need them. The Mini Baguettes warm in the oven while the soup comes together. I love meals like this!

Here’s what you’ll need to make the soup: [Read more...]

Broccoli Tomato Tortellini Salad

August 5, 2010 by Tiffany

It’s hot outside. Super hot and humid.

If you’re looking for a cool dinner idea, this is your recipe.

I wish I could say that I had garden fresh tomatoes for this dish, but my plants have yet to decide to really produce tomatoes. All I have are a few small green maters that taunt and torment me because they haven’t changed in size or color for weeks.

I’m a gardening failure. But that’s a whole ‘nuther post. For this dish I used a couple of store bought tomatoes and grape tomatoes (tragic because this is August) and 3 delicious cherry tomatoes from my garden.

Chicken Tortellini with Snow Peas

January 14, 2010 by Tiffany

It’s been a while since I made this. It was the result of a mini pantry challenge that I was doing to avoid going to the grocery. I pulled the ingredients out of the fridge and freezer and created this. I think I was out of garlic and that’s why I used Italian dressing in place of oil and garlic. I wasn’t sure that it would work, but it did. This post is going to be less of an actual recipe, and more of how to put your own make-shift meal together. [Read more...]

It’s not often that you can satisfy the pasta lovers, meat eaters and veggie people all with one dish. That’s what happened when I served this meal though. The recipe is adapted from a cookbook that my sister-in-law gave me. She is married to a career army man. When they were stationed in Schweinfurt, Germany (2007) she helped put together a cookbook with recipes from the families of those serving with the Vanguards 18th Infantry Regiment. That book is full of wonderful recipes, including this one.

Creamy Tortellini with Red Bell Peppers and Peas

June 19, 2009 by Tiffany

I know I’ve declared my love for pasta many times, but let me say it once more – I really love pasta! I bought the totellini with the intention of re-creating a pasta dish at Fazoli’s. I’ve never eaten that dish, but the picture in the ad looked good and involved artichoke hearts and sun-dried tomatoes. Yum. For some reason, I could not find artichoke hearts in Walmart the other day and I forgot to buy sun-dried tomatoes. I did have red peppers and peas though, so I created this instead. A very good combination of flavors in a creamy, cheesy dish.
