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!

Crispy Parmesan Roasted Broccoli.
Move over cauliflower and Brussels sprouts, broccoli is making a comeback in this house!
Oven roasted, crispy-edged, parmesan-crusted, lemon-zested broccoli is THE best!!
You can serve it as an appetizer (hello…roasted Brussels sprouts are on nearly every appetizer menu).
You should definitely make it your go-to side dish. And Crispy Roasted Broccoli is more than happy stealing the show for any vegetarian meal!

With these Eggplant Meatballs you’ll never even miss the meat.
Through all of this March Meatball Madness I have received several requests through social media (some subtle, some not) to share more vegetarian options.
This veggie-loving lady is happy to oblige!

Italian Wedding Soup is one dish I could not give up.
It has to be the flavor packed tiny meatballs.
No…no, actually it’s the fresh spinach leaves and miniature pasta all bathing in wonderful homemade chicken broth. Oh wait, I’m certain it’s the final swirl of egg and salty Parmesan cheese that makes this soup near the top of my comfort food list.

Our mozzarella stuffed Chicken Parmesan Meatballs nestled into a big pan of bucatini is meant to deliver comfort.
It’s the kind of dish you deliver to a friend when they need a little reassurance that everything is going to be O.K.
