Pasta is a beautiful thing. Quick and inexpensive to make, it’s a quintessential, classic meal. Now, I don’t doubt that you already have a delicious pasta sauce recipe, or perhaps you really do love jarred sauce (Some of them are really good!), but nothing compares to a homemade sauce. There are so many misconceptions about […]

Ok. They’re not cupcakes with meat. They’re meatloaf in the shape of cupcakes. Let’s get that straight first. And they were delicious! I think the topping really takes the cake (so to speak). And the meatloaf was very juicy. BONUS: Cook time is only 30 minutes. That’s right. Half an hour. I love the smell […]

When we had grilled cheese and soup the other night for the fourth time in as many weeks, I knew it was time to rethink our long-term dinner menu. Don’t get me wrong, I don’t mind grilled cheese and tomato soup, it’s just that I prefer a little more variety in my meals. The only […]
