Three Cheese Skillet Lasagna

May 27, 2014 by eghassett

This dinner was amazing for so many reasons….it’s fast, easy, DELICIOUS!  And, best of all, being a skillet meal you only dirty one pan!  I let it simmer on very low and went to join my neighbors for a glass of wine for happy hour.  When I returned dinner was almost ready, just needed a…

Homestyle Tuna and Biscuits

May 16, 2014 by eghassett

This is not the ordinary creamed tuna on biscuits you had when you were a kid….no condensed soups or gloppy sauce!  This is made with just the good stuff!  A simple white sauce (roux) with fresh dill adds a bit of gourmet to a good old fashioned comfort food dinner. It is a super quick…

Taco Salad

May 13, 2014 by eghassett

Mixing up Taco Tuesday a little…adding more greens and kidney beans to the lineup, since it seems like we’ve had lots of black and pintos lately.  We used ground turkey instead of beef, but this meal is great either way.  It’s fast, easy, versatile and healthy.  Enjoy!!

Chicken Taco Bowls

Chicken Taco Bowls

This is such an easy and healthy crock pot dinner!  My whole family loved it!  It is hearty, healthy, easy and super flavorful, yet different than the other Mexican meals we’ve had lately. Fun it up a little by putting some tortilla chips around the edge of the bowl.   It will look festive and…

French Bread Pizza tonight!

May 3, 2014 by eghassett

Sooooo Easy!!!  I recommend spinach and mushrooms for your toppings, and if you want meat tonight, add some browned sausauge.  Use Ciabatta bread, leaving more room for flavor from toppings instead of too much bread in each bite. Click on the picture for full recipe.  Serve with a side salad and a glass of Cabernet…
