I cooked up a bunch of bacon the other night, intending to put it all back in the freezer for another time. My youngest son was begging to eat it for dinner though. Since I wasn’t in the mood for breakfast for dinner, I decided to add it to a pasta dish. We ate every last bit of this. There were no leftovers at all. I guess they liked it 🙂 [Read more…] about Bacon and Tomato Pasta

Mac and Cheddar with Broccoli
Creamy, cheesy and satisfying. This can be a meatless meal or a side dish. I altered this a little bit from a Rachel Ray recipe. I used a bit less cheese than she called for and made a few other minor adjustments. [Read more…] about Mac and Cheddar with Broccoli
Baked Spaghetti
We had friends over a few weeks ago. It was very spontaneous and we went back and forth trying to decide whose house we would get together at. Turns out both my friend and I were thinking of making a spaghetti dish, because that’s what we had ingredients for. I’ll have to eat her version sometime. Here’s my Baked Spaghetti recipe (actually a recipe my mom has made for years).
Macaroni and Cheese & Macaroni and Tomatoes

Baked Chicken with Summer Vegetables in the Crockpot
I adapted this recipe for the crockpot by making just a few changes in it. The original recipe comes from Country Gourmet Cookbook. The instructions weren’t really complicated but there were several steps that involved baking the chicken skin-side down for a while, then flipping it, deglazing the pan… I cut out all of that by using the crockpot. The results were delicious and much easier than the original. The only thing lost was that the chicken didn’t really brown as it would in the oven.
