Baked Ziti
I have exciting news - my little munchkin, who for months and months has rejected anything with tomato sauce, has finally started warming up! This has changed my life, as she will now eat pizza with us, and also opens up more options in terms of pasta dishes I can make since I don't necessarily … Continue reading Baked Ziti
Meat Sauce
As I've mentioned many times, we are a family of pasta eaters. More often than not, we end up making some whole wheat pasta mixed with frozen veggies, tomato sauce from a jar, and maybe broiled chicken breasts when I remember to take some out of the freezer. But when I have a little more … Continue reading Meat Sauce
Spinach Mashed Potatoes

Oatmeal cookies are great, but … Continue reading Oatmeal Muffins

Healthier Oatmeal Cookies
I have been trying to get away from dessert recipes...really, I have! But the little peanut in my belly seems to have quite the sweet tooth, and I have been wanting dessert all of the time lately. In an effort to get my sweet fix from something moderately healthy, I decided to try out a … Continue reading Healthier Oatmeal Cookies
Butternut Squash Soup
A few years ago, I hosted Thanksgiving for the first time for a very small group - just my parents, hubby's parents, and the 2 of us. At the time I was in a small apartment and just starting to practice my cooking skills, which led to a menu including an overcooked turkey breast, stuffing … Continue reading Butternut Squash Soup
