My Favorite Holiday Side Dish!

If you are anything like me you have probably never even entertained the thought of eating artichokes.

I mean, I’ve had them pickled before and in hot dips but never have I ever an entire dish from artichokes… until now. Folks, this recipe is seriously amazing. You take a can of artichokes, prepare according to the recipe directions which can be found on the next page, and bake to perfection. What comes out of the oven is a heavenly dish that tastes like a dream come true. Who knew?

I really like making these Parmesan baked artichokes as a side dish when company is visiting. The presentation of the food looks amazing. Everyone is always impressed when I bring out this dish. And we all love that incredible, gooey cheese, don’t we?

So, g’head, try something new and exciting and bake up your own batch of these savory artichokes. Enjoy!

Attention, Please! This Baked Pasta Is What You Need In Your Life!

Some of my favorite meals are Italian.  I will eat just about anything that is pasta layered in gooey melted cheese.

Add in just about any type of sauce (I’ll pass on the spicy ones, though) and I’m in total heaven.  This dish right here is the perfect Italian flavors combined into one and makes for a completely impressive dinner. My husband and kids absolutely loved this recipe. In fact, they just couldn’t get enough of it. This baked rigatoni is a real keeper!

This meal here is completely amazing.  You take rigatoni pasta (already boiled to al dente) and then stacked on their ends in a round pan. After that, you take a delicious meat sauce and layer it so it falls through the little rigatoni and covers the top end.  Then, you layer that in cheese and bake it til it’s ooey and gooey over the top.  Simply the best.

If you’d like to get a feel of an authentic Italian meal, then this recipe is made for you. It is just as perfect for busy weeknights as it is for special occasions – this is actually my husband’s choice every time I ask him what he would like me to make for date night!

The Godfather Himself Would Approve!

Om nom nom! There’s something about Italian pasta dishes that make my mouth water, just talking about them. Maybe it’s the flavorful tomato sauce, or all that cheese these dishes usually include. Whatever the case, they are always delicious and over the years I’ve tried so many recipes, I’ve lost count! This recipe, however, is one that I never intend to lose. It’s my family’s favorite and we make it at least every other week.

What I love about this baked meatball ziti (besides the mind-blowing flavor, of course) is that it is rather simple to make. The recipe includes directions to make the meatballs from scratch, but if you’re in a hurry you can definitely use store-bought meatballs.

What I usually do is whenever I make meatballs for dinner, I make a double or even a triple batch, and freeze some for later. That way I always have homemade meatballs for this baked ziti – like I said; we make this very often! If you want to amp up the flavor even more, you could make your own marinara sauce.

Hands Down, The Best Meal Ever Made In A Casserole Dish!

Oh boy, oh boy! This is one of those meals you could eat ten days in a row, and you’d still want to make it again the next day. Chicken tetrazzini casserole is a dish I’ve made for my family almost every week since the beginning of times, and they are still crazy about it. Even my picky eater always goes for a second serving, and wants to know if we’re having this again soon!

Don’t be startled by the lengthy list of ingredients. The cooking instructions are very straightforward, and even though some effort is required to make this tasty chicken tetrazzini casserole, it is most definitely worth it!

It’s creamy, cheesy, juicy and mouthwatering, with a wonderful crispy crust made of bread pieces and cheese. I guarantee this recipe will be added into your dinner rotation, too! I had barely had my first bite of this when I already heard my husband say; “I sure hope we’re having this again soon!”

I would recommend you double the ingredients and make this in two casserole dishes. It freezes well – or maybe you’d just like to have plenty of leftovers, to eat this the next day, too. I sure know I did!

The Sauce Takes This Classic To The Next Level!

Do you ever get the weeknight meal blues? You know, when it feels like you’re just serving the same meals over and over again, one week after another. It’s totally ok not to make a restaurant quality dinner every day (or ever!) but if you could find a really easy way to do that, wouldn’t you want to give it a try?

This chicken parmesan with tomato sauce is exactly what you’ve been looking for. It is super quick and easy to make, the ingredients are inexpensive, and everyone loves the flavor! It’s not too spicy for children but the aromas are refined enough for anyone used to dining in fancy restaurants!

If you really want to amp up the flavor, you can use homemade marinara sauce. But don’t worry if you don’t have the time for it! This turns out absolutely delicious even when using store-bought sauce.

You can tweak the seasonings to your taste; I like to add a couple of cloves of crushed garlic when I add the marinara sauce, just to give the flavors an extra boost.

My Grandma Would Say, “Be Careful Not To Swallow Your Tongue” Because This Is SO DELICIOUS!

If you have always thought spaghetti is not a very fancy dish – think again! This recipe is going to completely change the way you feel about it. All these incredible flavors; the shrimp, lemon and the mouthwatering seasonings, make this meal fit for a king. I wouldn’t mind serving this to even the finest dinner guests – and I know they certainly wouldn’t mind eating it!

There are plenty of ways to tweak this recipe to your taste. I always add some chili and garlic to the shrimp – it reminds me of a dish I used to have on my vacation in Hawaii, and those flavors take this recipe to a whole new level.

But if you’d prefer a milder dish, this is still going to blow your mind even if you’re not adding chili. Use any kind of pasta noodles for this – I prefer the way this looks with spaghetti so that’s what I usually go for.

This Spinach And Cheese Bake Is Far From Ordinary!

If you’re looking for a great, easy-to-make casserole, you’ve come to the right place. This spinach bake, filled with ooey-gooey cheese is going to give your taste buds a ride they’ll never forget!

And it doesn’t just taste good; it’s also healthy! We all know spinach is a great choice if you want to add more greens to your diet – or simply if you’d like to eat something lip-smacking tasty. It’s not always easy to convince your picky eaters of the health benefits of this super veggie, but soon you won’t have to. As soon as they have a taste of this casserole, they will be begging you to make this every week!

That’s what happened with my 5-year-old, and believe me, I will make this as often as he wants! You see, it isn’t just my son who fell in love with this. My whole family enjoyed this and there were no leftovers, whatsoever! All you need are a few simple ingredients and 20 minutes of baking time, and you can start filling your belly with this goodness. You’ll be slappin’ your knees through the whole meal and going for seconds before your plate is empty!
