This is some seriously good pasta. Even Ellie, who doesn’t like much pasta, loves this dish. It’s peppery and goodness with lots of pecorino Romano cheese. It goes great with grilled steak, and the leftovers are really good too. Ingredients: Directions:

Caprese Chicken Pasta (Caprese Pasta Salad)
If you like caprese salad, you’ll love this carprese chicken pasta. Everyone loved this dish! I promise there is chicken in there. It’s just under all those delicious tomatoes, basil, and cheese. ***Note: I’ve also made this dish without the chicken and instead of melting the cheese I just cut the cheese up or use […]
Copycat Panera Macaroni and Cheese
This macaroni and cheese and so THICK and CREAMY. It really is delicious. I just wish Ethan would eat macaroni and cheese, because if he did, we would definitely make this more. Did I mention that it’s THICK and CREAMY? And delicious? Goes great with barbecue, burgers, sandwiches, and just about everything. I’m generally not […]
Lebanese Fatoush Salad
We love Middle Eastern food. Our love for Middle Eastern food really developed when we were living in Baton Rouge (who would’ve thunk it!), and then we moved to Houston, and there was a delicious restaurant down the street from our townhouse.

Latkes/Potato Pancakes

By the looks of the recipe it looks like it came with her 1970 Osterizer blender! Delicious! So what’s the difference between […]
Cranberry Jello Salad
Jello salads and molded jello salads were all the rage in the 70’s and they still are for my family in the Pacific Northwest. Most jello salads I don’t particularly care for, but I eat enough to be polite. There is one exception. My Great Aunt Arlene makes this wonderful raw cranberry jello salad every […]
Cole Slaw
Whenever I ate bbq sandwiches I always ate them Southern style…that is topped with cole slaw. I didn’t know I loved my sandwiches bbq style until we lived in the south. I found a recipe over at picky palate that I knew I needed to try. I changed up the slaw recipe to more my […]
