One of my most favorite places to find everything pumpkin is Trader Joes and as you can see from the pic below I am all about it!! If you can go… GO NOW! There was also a pumpkin kringle in there. I just CANNOT get enough pumpkin!! Really in Pasta? So I am a BIG, BIG pumpkin and pasta fan. My first experience with it was in a ravioli (similar to the ones I got from Trader Joe’s) and then I had it with butternut squash…

Pumpkin Pasta is a must for Fall
SO it is no secret that I love PUMPKIN everything. Literally I am the one who gets tears in her eyes when PSL makes it debut at starbucks each Fall. I am also that girl who goes to Trader Joes and buys EVERYTHING pumpkin they have (even the dog treats). My last shopping trip… There was also a pumpkin kringle in there. I just CANNOT get enough pumpkin!! Really in Pasta? So I am a BIG, BIG pumpkin and pasta fan. My first experience with it was in a ravioli (similar to the ones I got from Trader Joe’s) and then I had it with butternut squash in a lasagna…

Green Chile Tettrazini
It is NO secret that I love me a good casserole and this casserole does NOT disappoint. It has everything you love from a traditional rich and creamy tettrazni but with a little extra something. Full disclosure, obviously this is NOT keto…but last week was a rough one for me and some comfort food was much needed and for me a casserole screams comfort. Traditional…Sorta This tettrazini recipe starts like most others. There is chicken, pasta, cream of something soup, sour cream and cheese. What makes this recipe different is the addition of green chilies and some extra spices. To help make it a little easier I used a…

One Pot Cajun Pasta
I just don’t think you can ever have too many one pot meals in your arsenal of recipes. It is even better when the one pot meal is loaded with TONS of flavor, cheese and is super easy. One pot…thats all The beauty of this dish is that with everything being cooked in the same pot the flavors just keep building as you continue cooking, giving this dish a TON of flavor. First you start with the chicken, spices then the sausage and then comes the cream and pasta. Everything comes together perfectly and then you stir in the cheese to finish off this super easy meal. OH the…

THE Instant Pot Mac-n-Cheese
I love mac-n-cheese anytime, anyway, anywhere. I have made my fair share over the years but I have to say this is definately one of my favorites yet. Cheesy Goodness In my opinion any good mac n cheese has a couple of cheese varieties in it. Some favorites are gouda and cheddar, goat and mascarpone and classic cheddar blend. For this mac-n-chesse I combined my dads version (stovetop velveeta) with mine to create a delicious mac-n-cheese. To make it extra creamy I used a little velveeta, some white cheddar (you could use yellow) and then a mexican blend. The combo of all the cheeses create a super creamy, cheesy blend…

Bang Bang Shrimp Pasta
Have you ever had Bang Bang Shrimp? I LOVE IT! It is actually more like OBSESSED! If you have you know why I love it so much, and if you have not well then you need to make this ASAP. Not your typical version The typical Bang Bang Shrimp is fried and then tossed in this amazing creamy sweet and spicy sauce. It is crispy and delicious but also pretty heavy, and well fried. For this pasta I wanted to lighten it up a bit, but still give you everything that makes Bang Bang Shrimp so amazing. Instead of frying the shrimp I decided to pan sear them…

One Pot of Cheesy Yummy
I love food…that is no secret. I love everything from tacos to osso bucco to chili and BBQ (I do live in Texas). One thing I am always in the mood for though is pasta and if it is cheesy pasta that is even better. Branching out a bit… A few weeks a go I was with my mom and we went to one of our favorite lunch places, Cafe Express. Normally I get their roasted vegetable tart but that day I really wanted pasta so I went with their pasta alfredo. I really loved it as it was a little different than my mortal go to alfredo. It…

meatballs are on the menu…
Are you fan of meatballs? I AM, but just recently started making my own. Never needed to… I am a huge fan of meatballs and I became a fan of meatballs because my MeeMaw (look how cute she is) would make them. She would always have some in her deep freeze. She would whip them out for a quick pasta dinner or for her meatballs and gravy. In college I attempted one time to make meatballs, but they were nothing like my MeeMaw’s, and I never made them again until now. The rolling begins… When I decided it was time to attempt meatballs once again I went searching for my MeeMaw’s recipe. After…
