Fresh Green Bean & Mushroom Casserole with Crispy Shallots will definitely be on our Thanksgiving table.
Whenever I bring up favorite Thanksgiving sides in conversation, Green Bean Casserole always rises near the top. Even though Stuffing seems to be the emotional favorite.
Hello carbs!

If you want to deliver comfort, bring them The Best Three Cheese Mac ‘n’ Cheese. It works every time!
Super cheesy, ultra creamy, with a little something special to make them go hmmmm.

I am coming off such an incredible weekend and needed Monday’s dinner to be as easy as Cacio e Pepe. Served Two Ways!
The first way is rather traditional made with spaghetti and lots of cheese and pepper!
The second is prepared with spaghetti squash! Equally as delicious, gluten free and low carb friendly!

I’ll never forget the first time I tasted these Antipasto Squares (and I’m sure my teammates who were with me won’t either).
We were at an away tennis match, where traditionally the home team provides a spread of food.
These little bites of ooey-gooey-love got our attention in a hurry.
I have no idea if we won or lost our match that day. However, there’s no question that leaving with the recipe for Antipasto Squares was a Win!

When you want to deliver comfort there’s nothing like a Spaghetti & Meatball Casserole of Love!
Nice big tender Italian Meatballs nestled into bed of spaghetti wrapped in a blanket of sauce & cheese.
It’s amazing how one casserole dish can bring a family together.

This Insalata Chicken Florentine is a Copycat from Macaroni Grill. Not sure if you are familiar with them or this incredible salad.
IT IS AMAZING.
Every ingredient is so well thought out, each delivering a unique flavor and/or texture.

These Crispy Baked Garlic Parmesan Chicken Wings have inched their way onto my short list of favorite wing flavors.
Mardi Gras still holds the top spot in my book, but these buttery garlic parmesan wings are insanely good.
There’s no spice, just lots of punchy garlic flavor mellowed by the buttery parmesan parsley toss sauce.

I am smitten with this Sweet Potato Crust Veggie & Pesto Quiche.
It has the perfect balance of savory (hello pesto) with a hint of sweetness.
I’ve literally made five variations of it in the past several weeks, sharing it with friends & family along the way.
Rave reviews from all of my taste-testers!
