Another recipe I altered to be more to my liking. But ultimately just a relatively quick dinner to make after a long day that pleases everyone and usually leaves a few leftovers. Prep time - 10 minutes / Cook time - 30 minutes Kosher salt 1 medium onion [...]
This meatloaf has become the preferred version in our house. Nothing wrong with the tried and true original, but there's something satisfying about starting this early in the day and either coming home to a delicious smell (pre-Covid) or enjoying the scent as it fills the house while I'm on work Zoom calls. It's [...]
When I found this recipe online, I knew I would need to alter it to be more in line with my family's taste buds. I reduced the amount of mustard to mellow it out and removed some ingredients altogether. Now it's one of our favorite dishes, especially in the cooler months. Prep [...]
No real story with this one, just a new thing we added to the dinner rotation. Next time, I would probably substitute egg noodles for the orzo so each bite could be a combination of the meat, sauce and pasta. Orzo made that tough. Prep time - 15 minutes / Cook time [...]
This recipe is a family favorite and is usually gone in less than 24 hours. And like other favorites in this house, it tastes even better the next day after sitting in the fridge overnight. If there is any left to eat, that is! 30 minutes prep and 1 hour divided for cook time, [...]

This recipe was born out of the frustration of the Chicago Public School strike of 2019. It went on far longer than anticipated, and we got a bit of cabin fever while it wore on. I decided chew up some time by throwing together a new recipe that I'd had floating around in my [...]
Looking for something that would be easy to make on a weeknight and provide some leftovers this is a good option. For my cheese adverse daughter I omitted the ricotta filling and just used sausage for a few of the rolls. Prep time – 20 minutes / Cook time – 50 minutes [...]
I don't know what made me decide to put this group of ingredients together one day. But I do know that it's become a favorite for both me and my husband as a lunchtime snack. The bread is nice and crispy and pairs well with the softer and less strong tastes the fresh mozzarella [...]
The combination of pistachios and chicken might sound odd to some people, but it's delicious trust me! As an added bonus, recruit a family member to help shell the pistachios or even quicker, buy them already shelled. Once that step is done, it's really just a fairly quick and easy weeknight dinner.
