Relatively wordless Wednesday Post. Soooo.
I walk a lot. It’s my time to silently talk through things and exhale. My time. During walking my brain churns which often inspires new recipes. These Chicken Parmesan Meatball Sliders were the walking brain child inspired by these…

Today was our Halloween Luncheon at the office. It is an annual tradition. We decorate, dress in costumes, and feast. I decided to make a giant Classic Lasagna to share with my work family. But I wanted to add a spooky element to the dish. Wait til you see what I did.

The pictures don’t do this recipe justice, but I am here to tell you that Italian Sausage & Polenta Lasagna is pure comfort. Surprisingly, that comfort is delivered without a guilt trip.

Over time I fell in love with Alfredo Sauce but still avoided tomato based sauces for the most part. It was all about white sauce in our home, with lasagna and occasionally meatballs being an exception. This all changed on Christmas Day.
