This one was just too good to pass by, I just had to share it! If you love Italian food as much as I do then stuffed shells are a must for any occasion. Stuffing options are endless, but I love this version I came across with spinach and ricotta. Sneaking in veggies without compromising flavor is a win-win in my book!

Super creamy with the perfect hint of a lemon-y tang, combined with a slightly crispy parmesan crust will take you on a tasty tour of Italy. This recipe bakes in a quick 20 minutes and serves enough for company. I know what’s for dinner tonight in my home!

Quick Tip: Use a cookie press to fill the shells for quick preparation and little to no mess!

The “other white meat” is just as delicious with this simple and flavorful pork chop recipe! Well-seasoned and cooked to perfection, you’ll want to keep this one in your back pocket for safe keeping.

Make this when time is being crunched and you need to feed the crew quickly. Brown sugar adds that little bit of sweetness while the paprika and cayenne pepper add a little kick of savory goodness. Serve this white a side of vegetable and potatoes for a balanced meal you can feel good about.

This Tuna Swiss Melt Casserole is a nice twist on the traditional tuna casserole and makes for a great, quick, and easy midweek meal!

I may have been in the minority of people growing up who actually enjoyed tuna casserole. Maybe it’s just my Gulf Coast upbringing, loving everything from the sea. Even I have to admit that the classic recipes like this can get a bit tired after a while, though. Adding Swiss cheese and tomatoes to the mix makes for a nice upgrade, I think. Swiss cheese is one of those “happy medium” cheeses that has a distinct flavor without being too overpowering, and it actually takes on more depth of flavor when melted. The result: a really creamy casserole with a topping that nicely complements the natural flavor of the tuna. Just make a side salad, and you have a filling, soothing, well-balanced full meal–with minimal effort. Yummy!

This Pumpkin Sausage Bowtie Pasta makes for a creative and festive-looking fall meal, and yet it takes little time to put together. This is a great choice for those midweek fall and winter evenings, when you are particularly pressed for time (and perhaps already thinking about the weekend) and want something seasonal but just don’t have the time or energy to make a really elaborate meal.

The splash of white wine is what gives this dish that amazing extra bit of flavor. Stay away from any wine that is super-sweet, or you may have a main course that is a bit TOO sweet. Otherwise, there’s nothing too difficult about this recipe. You do have to brown the sausage and cook the pasta (al dente) to start, but that doesn’t take all that long, and everything goes really quickly after that. You basically have a full meal with this, though it does go nicely with a bit of bread and a simple salad.

Here’s a Really Quick And Easy Formula For a Tasty Meal!

I am so in love with slow cooker recipes right now! With all the big family gatherings and huge dinner preparations lately, it’s such a relief to just throw a bunch of ingredients into the crockpot and let it do all the work instead.

Not that I don’t enjoy cooking – I really do, but sometimes other things in life just get in the way. If you want a hearty, “meat and potatoes” sort of meal, this Cheesy Potato, Bean, and Beef Casserole is a great choice. The slow cooker does most of the work for you, with only a very modest amount of prep required. This would also make a wonderful addition to your next BBQ party. It’s filling, warming comfort food, made really easy with the Crock-Pot. Heck, how can you go wrong with just seven ingredients (plus water, salt, and pepper) and four easy steps?

Give this one a try – and don’t forget to let us know in the comments how it turned out for you!

This Easy Cheeseburger Pie is another quick, easy, and yummy main dish for those hectic midweek nights (or whenever you don’t feel like spending too much time in the kitchen). Seven ingredients, maybe 20 minutes of prep, 25 minutes in the oven, and it’s done! We all know what it’s like, feeling busy and run down but still needing something decent to put together for dinner. This four-step recipe is about as easy as it gets, and it’s rather hearty and filling.

This is also one of the easiest recipes for whenever you need to cook for a larger crowd! Just double or even triple the ingredients to make a nice dish for your next family gathering. There will be plenty of people begging for the recipe, so make sure you bring it with you!
