A super easy take on the classic lasagna – ravioli lasagna  I use fresh ravioli to save a few steps and get this in the oven in no time. A perfect back to school dinner idea.  Whether I like it or not, school is just around the corner. Part of me is looking forward to […]

When I find a recipe that I really like, I tend to make it over and over until my family asks begs me to stop. Slow Cooked Beef Ragu is one of them. So far, they haven’t asked me to stop, everyone loves when I make this, but I have made this quite a few […]

It was a big football weekend! I had a friendly wager with my son that it was going to be the Seahawks and the Colts going to the Super Bowl. We each got one right, so there wasn’t much pain for either party. I called the Ohio State game a few weeks ago and he […]

It was a doozy today. The first really hot day of summer. When it is hot like this, I do not want to turn on my oven, I barely even want to cook. But alas, we need to eat. Pasta salad is the way to go. It is easy, you can use whatever you have […]
