The finder’s fee for this recipe actually goes to Ben, but it’s become a favorite in our house, too. Orzo gets sauteed in butter, simmered in chicken broth, then combined with Parmesan cheese and basil. It’s a really simple and satisfying side dish.

Orzo with Parmesan and Basil
Brie and Sausage Breakfast Casserole
It seems this casserole is becoming a New Year’s Day breakfast tradition. This is the second time I have made this (the first was a couple of years ago) but I think the results were just as good. With the ingredients that are in this recipe, it probably is smart to only make it every couple [...]
Party Snack Mix
This is my family’s holiday snack mix, and it also has the distinction of being Something My Dad Can Make. (Spaghetti and mashed potatoes are also in this category.)
Party Snack Mix
1 6 oz. can French fried onions
1 7 oz. can potato sticks
1 lb. bag pretzel sticks
1 lb. can salted peanuts
¼ cup Parmesan cheese
½ cup butter, melted
In a [...]
Alfredo Sauce
I’m normally a red sauce girl, but I’ve wanting to make Alfredo sauce at home for awhile a now. I found this simple recipe from Cooking Light and had all the ingredients, so I finally went for it.
I cooked the sauce longer than the recipe suggested because the cheese wasn’t melting. Then I was concerned that the [...]
Four Cheese Baked Penne
What’s not to love in this Four Cheese Baked Penne from Ellie Krieger? Mozzarella, ricotta, cottage cheese, Parmesan cheese, tomatoes, onion, garlic…the list goes on and on.
It takes some prep work to get this dish ready to bake, which made it a fun Saturday evening project. However, this recipe would be doable on a weeknight [...]
Italian Spaghetti Sauce
I think everyone has their go to recipes. My wife and I have a go to recipe for spaghetti sauce that came from her mom. This is NOT that recipe. I wanted something different and what better way to experiment with food than to make A GALLON of spaghetti sauce. After all, that much spaghetti sauce [...]
Shrimp Fettucini Alfredo
This recipe comes from my mother-in-law. We had it once with them and I have been craving it ever since. The recipe is so much easier than I thought it would be. It only took about 30 minutes to make the entire meal. Perfect for a week night meal and best of all there are [...]
Baked Ziti
On the list of things Mark Bittman has taught me to make, you can now add Baked Ziti.
Like the recipe states, this is basically a short-cut lasagna with less hassle. The most involved part of the recipe is getting all the ingredients ready to go. I made this on a weeknight and would do so [...]
Parmesan Chicken Breasts
I always used to feel like Sunday night meals should involve warming the whole house up with the oven or running the slow cooker all day. Probably not such a great idea in the summer but now that the fall weather has taken hold, it definitely felt like we needed to get the oven running.
In truth the oven [...]
Spinach Quiche
“I’m strong to the finich / ‘Cause I eats me spinach”
This was my second attempt at this Spinach Quiche. I think my first attempt was better, but this was no failure.
I followed the recipe exactly, except for the crust. The recipe calls for Martha’s pâte brisée, but I’m just not ready for that. Maybe next [...]
