Bright, colorful and super easy to make – what could be better? Family meals need not be stressful – we have enough stress in our lives, thank you. A little chopping, a can of tomatoes, and there you go.

Caregivers Day and Thoughtful Casseroles
Did you know that today is National Caregivers Day? It’s the one day a year when we should stop and thank the caregivers in our lives. We all have them. It could be the people that care for our children or the ones that care for our parents.
Garlic Butter Chicken Bites with Lemon Asparagus
If there is one thing that Kiddo loves, it’s lemons. That boy can suck on a lemon and loves it. Sour is his thing. Before you shy away, the lemon in this dish ins’t insane. Coupled with the butter and garlic, it’s deliciously delightful.

Egg Noodle Chicken Piccata
What is it about a favorite dish that you can never get enough of and yet you keep trying to reach the next level? I love Piccata. I have a million recipes – okay, maybe not that may, but a lot. Each is different, yet with those classic elements of Piccata. Gotta have lemons and capers.
There is more to Italy than Tomato Sauce
Would you believe it’s another of those National Food Days. Like any of us need an excuse to eat delicious foods. Today we have a great assortment of things to celebrate – it’s Cheddar Cheese Day, Italian Food Day and Tortellini Day.
Celebrating National Pizza Day – Sort of
Today is National Pizza Day, which ask the question is a Stromboli or a Calzone just another word for pizza? They are. But then again, they aren’t. Pizzas are open-faced, Stromboli are square pizza dough that is rolled. Calzones are round pizza dough that is folded in half. The similarities are in the dough. The differences are what you do with it.
Simple Fettuccine Alfredo
I love that National Fettuccine Alfredo Day fell on a Friday this year. A simple Fettuccine Alfredo makes for a delicious Meatless Supper. Add a little warm bread and a nice salad, and there you go.
Lasagna Alfredo Florentine
It’s Friday. Ever notice how every weekend begins on a Friday Night? That makes Fridays just a little special, don’t you think? Even a Meatless Friday can be something wonderful.
Linguine Pesto Shrimp Pasta
When it came to making this beautiful Friday Night Supper, I had mixed emotions. You know me, I love everything Italian. That is unless it includes Eggplant. Love the color, not wild about the taste.
Celebrate Friday with a Five-Cheese Ziti Bake
Do you realize it’s been over a year since I last shared a recipe utilizing Ziti Pasta? I say that’s too long between recipe.

It’s National Spaghetti Day!
Here me shout – it’s National Spaghetti Day! Like I needed an excuse to whip up a big batch of anything Italian. And a sauce that percolates in the crock pot all day – oh yeah!
Friday’s Spicy Calamari Linguine
When Kiddo was just a wee little kiddo, he moved through the world like a little adult. He traveled with us everywhere, and developed a taste for the finer establishments. Unfortunately, by the time he was a teenager, his tastes changed. It was pizza and burgers and greasy-spoon dives. Typical teenage things.
Italian Dressed Pan-Seared Chicken Thighs
First off, let me say I am a big Paul Newman fan. When I was a young girl, I think he was my first Hollywood crush. But that’s not the reason I like the Newman’s Own food line. Newman’s Own does good work while making a delicious produce. The salad dressings are particularly delightful, and perfect for marinades, too.

Zesty Slow-Cooker Italian Pot Roast
Winter is filled with great dishes that can only be appreciated when it’s cold outside. Hardy stews have got to be one of Hubby’s all time winter favorites. After all, he grew up in Wisconsin, where winters really happen. As for me, I’ve only seen snow falling from the sky maybe a dozen times in my life.
Ribbon Pasta with Shrimp and Lemon Garlic
Did you know that today is National String Popcorn Day? Yep, it is. I’ve always wanted to string popcorn and make cranberry garland for my tree. When my children were little, the best Christmas we ever had was filled with paper decorations and a cardboard box painted to look like a fireplace. How else was Santa going to get into our tiny apartment?
