Sloppy Lasagna

Morgan made us her first dinner as a 19 year old, Lasagna. It was as tasty as normal, but my serving skills left a little to be desired.

Easy Tortellini Toss

Morgan is our usual Tortellini master, but we had her try a new recipe tonight where she and Sophie made cheesy sauce from scratch! The Pampered Chef recipe is for Easy Tortellini Toss, and it’s all cooked in the microwave using our Deep Covered Baker. I diced the Ham Steak, but they did everything else in their own including adding the Spinach.

Grilled Hotdogs with Mac ‘N Cheese

The girls took care of our leaves today, and I gave them options for dinner to show my appreciation. They chose Hotdogs with Mac ‘N Cheese.

Turkey Tetrazzini

Jennifer found a new recipe, and I was finally home to enjoy it. She made an amazing Turkey Tetrazzini.

Special Spaghetti for company

Our Thanksgiving guests arrived safely and just in time for Jennifer and Sophie’s High Hopes Spaghetti. It was great as usual, and I added some sprinkles of Italian Seasoning on some freezer rolls to give them a little extra something. Our guests were well satisfied. I can’t wait until we share a feast tomorrow!

Asparagus Stuffed Chicken Breasts with Mac ‘N Cheese

It was Morgan’s turn to craft our feast tonight. She, while being encouraged by her mother, made us Asparagus-Stuffed Chicken Breasts, Mac ‘N Cheese with Mixed Vegetables. And, at the encouragement of her father, she added an Enrichables packet of Pea Protein into the Cheese Sauce. We even washed it down with a Coke to celebrate National Carbonated Beverage with Caffeine Day!

Sour Cream Noodle Bake

Our Sour Cream Noodle Bake was a team effort today. Jennifer played MOMager and kept us focused, on task and cleaning as we went. She also sliced the green onions. Sophie and Morgan darted to the store when we realized we ran out of cheese. Sophie also was in charge of the noodles and helping her MOMager mix the ingredients, while Morgan grated the cheese. I worked on the meat sauce and layering everything in the pan. No one even noticed I added a Kale & Fiber Enrichables packet to it. 🤫 the meal was a success, and we even had some for leftovers.

Costco Chicken Alfredo

Tonight, we had Costco’s pre-made Chicken Alfredo. It’s the one they made fresh today in the deli section. We just needed to heat it and eat it. We paired it with some amazing crusty rolls. Not bad for an easy dinner.

Creamy Pesto Chicken Pasta

If you think cooking chicken in the microwave can only come out rubbery, you haven’t used our Deep Covered Baker. I proved it tonight with my take on another Pampered Chef Recipe. Creamy Pesto Chicken Pasta was easy to make and only took about 30 minutes to prepare and cook. The covered stone keeps the juices in and doesn’t dry out the meat. We served the chicken and sauce over a bed of amazing Think Spaghetti.
