Ratatouille is considered peasant food in France. If this is what peasants eat, though, I’m good with not being rich. My Italian Ratatouille nestles a combination of summer squashes and tomatoes on a lake of creamy tomato sauce. A liberal amount of pecorino cheese is doused on towards the end of baking, then it’s…

Five Cheese Baked Macaroni and Cheese
Why serve a boring mac and cheese dish this holiday when a five cheese macaroni and cheese is just as easy to make? This version is not only make-ahead friendly, but freezer-friendly to make holiday meal prep a breeze.
Banana Chocolate Chunk Oatmeal
One of the biggest misconceptions about homeschool families is that we have more hours in the day than other families. SOOOOOOOooohoooohooooo not true. I was running a cake decorating and catering business before starting this blog- all whilst trying to keep twins alive- so my days have never been long enough. In addition to that, my artistic…
Pumpkin Cream Cheese French Toast Casserole
I’ve held off for as long as I could. Pumpkin-everything is coming, and it’s coming in hot; so go ahead and yield to it. I, personally, have been on a slow cooker kick lately. Since the use of my stove or oven heats this apartment up to ungodly temperatures, I’m forgoing their use as much…
Ultimate Bacon-Jalapeño Mac and Cheese
My Ultimate Bacon-Jalapeño Mac and Cheese- with its five cheese sauce and smoky bacon- is guaranteed to provide comfort. This post is sponsored by my friends at Danish Creamery, however, all thoughts and opinions are my own. This move has been one of the hardest in my life; I’m not being dramatic, either. In my…

Holiday Leftovers Breakfast Casserole
I’m ready for the holidays to be over; like for real, for real. There are so many airs to put on throughout the holidays- even if it’s unintentional. “Pretend you like this gift, pretend you like that co-worker”…it’s just too much. I’m grateful for the celebration, don’t get me wrong. Time just needs to hustle along. One good…
Peanut Butter & Jelly Stuffed French Toast
It’s no secret that I’m not a morning person. Lately, though, I’ve been waking up at four AM to go to the gym with the Soldier, and it kind of pisses me off. Yes, exercise is necessary at my age. But, let’s be real, I’m already married, I don’t need to look good anymore. He’s…
Manicotti Stuffed with Pumpkin-Ricotta in Brown Butter-Sage Béchamel Sauce
Alright, I held out as long as I could. Now it’s time to load you up with all things pumpkin. Manicotti stuffed with pumpkin and ricotta, baked in a brown butter-sage béchamel sauce. Long name, sure, but the taste is worth it. Meatless isn’t bad. This is a vegetarian meal that doesn’t lack for anything. It’s…
Unstuffed Mushroom Casserole
If you see me walking down the street, you would probably think I’m an extremely high-maintenance woman. I love fashion (shoes are my vice), make-up and all that goes along with them. If you were to catch me at home, however, you’d get a clear understanding of the tomboy I was growing up. This Unstuffed Mushroom Casserole is just…
