• Poblano Corn Pasta

    Jump to Recipe A Pasta Dish to remember I don’t know about you but I have been craving pasta and this Poblano & Corn pasta gives me everything I want and NEED right now.  It is rich, creamy, a little spicy and just plain YUMMY!   Grill It Up… One of the things I love most about this recipe is the grilled poblanos and grilled corn.  Now I understand it is not grilling season but no worries you can either roast them or use an indoor grill pan and get just about the same effect. That is what makes this pasta a great option year round… you can grill everything…

  • Chicken & Gnocchi Bake

    I have a gnocchi confession… I am secretly obsessed with it!  I like it all sorts of ways, with all sorts of things but this bake is a perfect option for a yummy, comforting weeknight dinner.  A LITTLE CHICKEN TALK I have recently become a BIG, BIG fan of chicken thighs.  I am literally using them every week.  Sometimes I just roast them up and pair them with a quick salad and veggie and sometimes I use them in a  casserole… LIEK THIS ONE! I always sear them in a pan.  This not only adds some great color to the dish but also a TON of flavor.  I also make…

  • 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…
