I added spinach and tomato to orzo to create a colorful and flavorful side dish. The orzo is lightly browned first in butter and a little garlic. The browned butter gives this dish an addicting flavor you will love. When I was a kid, our pastas consisted of spaghetti and macaroni and cheese. It wasn’t [...]

This is a super easy manicotti dish that is fast and simple. I sliced a piece out of the baking dish so that you could easily see the filling.

This is one of my recipes I came up with on the fly. When the day has been hectic, chasing my toddler around and running errands, I will quickly defrost some chicken breasts under running water, and make it up as I go along. Sometimes these recipes aren’t the greatest because I am missing an [...]
