This recipe has you covered for tonight’s main course AND tomorrow’s leftovers

Primavera means Spring in Italian. So with the season upon us, it’s the perfect time to prepare this classic dish for you and your family.

The secret to getting the best color and flavor is that in Spring you can get the freshest vegetables of the year.

I have to admit that I’m a huge pasta fan. The minute you say pasta I’m already sold. On those nights my family does eat out its usually Macaroni Grill where I love to order the Italian Pasta Bake.

However, I’m more of a red sauce then a white or, in this case, saffron sauce fan. So when I first this saw this recipe I was a little bit skeptical. Oh my god was I wrong.

Quick Tip: You can use other types of pasta for those who are looking for gluten-free options!

Great alternative to potato salad or coleslaw.

I am not sure what it is about macaroni, but I always think of it as something to be served hot and with plenty of cheese.

This recipe has definitely caused me to stop and reconsider. With a variety of color and texture, it is full of all the things I love in a potato salad, without having all the hassle of boiling, peeling and cutting up the spuds.

When you have a bunch of kids you end up going to a lot of picnics and get-to-gethers. Sometimes the thought of making one more dish can be overwhelming. It is nice to have a handful of recipes that are easy to make and most likely you already have the basic ingredients on hand. This is one of those recipes.

Plus, if you have put your families’ favorite ingredients in this macaroni salad, chances are your kids will make sure they get a scoop on their plates before running off for their next activity.

A huge shout out to Jaclyn and Cooking Classy for this fun summer salad.

Quick Tip: This is a great way to utilize a few of your leftovers such as marinated artichoke hearts or sliced olives.

Fix it and Forget it! Now That Is The Ultimate Convenience

It takes a lot of juggling to keep up with everyone’s busy schedules. As a mom of six kids, I remember hectic days when it felt like we lived in the car!  And I know I am not the only one who wonders how she can be so busy and yet never feel like she never gets enough accomplished. Is that you?

I see you out there..nodding your head “Yes!”

While life can feel like a merry-go-round on warp speed, there are things that come up that we don’t want to miss. Life is too short not to live it the fullest.

The last thing you want to do after a long day is worry about what you are fixing for dinner. Time to pull out the crock pot! You can put this chicken in before you leave the house, so all you have to do is steam some rice and veggie and dinner is served!

You had me at Tater Tots!

Seriously, this casserole is as American as hot dogs and apple pie. Tater Tots, cheese, bacon and sour cream, what more could you want in a dish?

When we lived in the Midwest, this would have been a huge hit in the potluck line! Tater Tots are considered one of the major food essentials. Potlucks were usually loaded with either Jello-O salads or hot dishes that included a layer of these spud morsels.

The only place in town to get Mexican food was at Taco Johns, where they had Tater Tot Oles on the menu. Which is basically tater tots wrapped up in a tortilla with some taco seasoning and maybe catsup. While I think I might pass on that tater tot creation, this one looks too good to not give it a try.

Quick Tip: This Bacon Cheeseburger Tater Tot Casserole can be made ahead of time and refrigerated or frozen for later. You can also divide it between two 8×8-inch pans.

If I Had A Nickle For Every time I Shared This Casserole Recipe…

I love big family get-togethers! Whether it is a holiday, reunion, or just a time when we can all gather round the dining table there is nothing as hearty and nostalgic as a big pan of creamy scalloped potatoes. I usually have to make extra because we love them as left-overs!

The fact that you can make a huge dish is a relief because this is one our kids’ favorite way to fix potatoes and when you can buy a big bag of spuds fairly cheap, this also is budget friendly.

While scalloped potato dishes are not super fancy, there are a few basics that can set them apart from being boring to brilliantly prepared even for those just getting started in the kitchen.

The secret is in details.

This classic side dish that has been a standard next to honey glazed hams for as long as I can remember. Adding garlic and several varieties of cheese make this a perfect side dish for any occasion.

Quick Tip: Since this is a dish that takes a while to bake, make sure to put this in the oven in plenty of time. Let is set for 5-10 minutes before serving.

Voted One Of The Best Potluck Recipes Ever

I was so glad when I came across this recipe on the internet. I almost forgot about it.

I remember when we were visiting our friends, Bob and Ginger, and she fixed it for us along with a garden fresh salad and loaf of garlicky french bread. In fact, our kids even asked for a second helping.

Spaghetti is such a dinnertime staple, but being able to pop it in the oven and forget about it was something that really caught my attention, because instead of boiling spaghetti noodles as everyone was arriving, Ginger had the pan of piping hot goodness already in the oven so it was really easy to serve up hot after everyone gathered around the dining room table.

Getting together with Bob and Ginger felt more like we were with family instead of friends. And now, even though we live two time zones apart, I still think of them everytime I make this yummy meal!

This is one of those recipes that is easy to freeze for later, or to take to someone who may need a hot homecooked meal.

Quick Tip: It can be made in advance and stored in the fridge for a day or so before baking!

So Amazing, You Might Want To Get Out Your Best China.

Looking to take chicken to a whole new level without having to spend all day in the kitchen? Look no further.

I have only tried Chicken Cordon Bleu a few times in fancy restaurants. The way the flavors combine is amazing, but I always thought that making it would be way beyond my skill set. I mean how did they get all the yumminess into the chicken before breading it?

I usually have a few recipes that I go to when I find myself in a recipe rut, but this seems like it would be so easy to make because I can make it ahead and have everything cleaned up long before the dinner rush happens.

This casserole is full of flavor without all the fuss! Now, that is something I can handle and so can you! It may seem like a few more steps beyond the “one pan” recipes, but it will be worth the effort when your family feels like they are fine dining right in your own home.

Quick Tip: If you don’t have Panko breadcrumbs you can always toss a few slices of dry toast into your food processor.
