All you need is a microwave, or you could do it with a … Read More

Baked Pasta with a Turkey Meat Sauce

With fall, comes the cool crisp air and the desire for warm, comforting food. This dish definitely delivered. It was so delicious and hearty that Adam asked if we could have leftovers of this the next night instead of what I was going to cook. I found this on Proceed with Caution and it sounded so fabulous, and it was! Not to mention it was so easy to put together...plus, while it's baking it … Read More

Fluffernutter Cookies

I love peanut butter & marshmallow fluff sandwiches and when I came across this combination in a cookie on Two Peas & Their Pod I was overjoyed! I had to make peanut butter cookies for a women's conference and so I decided to make some of them the fluffernutters and some plain. The basic cookie recipe from these is a great plain peanut butter cookie recipe. The first time I made the … Read More

Oven Fried Mozzarella Sticks

Here is the final installment from our appetizer night. We also had a cheese dip, but I wasn't super pleased with how it turned out, so I'm going to try it again sometime and post it once I get it right. These cheese sticks had really good flavor & Adam & my in-laws really loved them. They just need a few adjustments...I used Laaloosh's method of making my own bread crumbs, but my … Read More

Toy Story Lego Cake

Recently my brother celebrated his 9th birthday...yes we are a few years apart:) My mom asked me if I thought I could make this cake she found online at Betty Crocker. It was a basic lego cake and you made a sheet cake and cut it into equal slices and used marshmallows for the knobs. I told her I would give it a try. So Adam and I set out to make it, but of course we couldn't leave it … Read More

Baked Egg Rolls

When looking for something to make for a weekend dinner, I scrolled through some of the many recipes I've printed out from other blogs and came across this one on Slim Shoppin' for baked egg rolls and decided it was high time I tried it and planned to have a chinese food night. I also saw some on Stephanie Cooks & used her idea of using coleslaw mix instead of just cabbage to make things … Read More

Buffalo Chicken Cheese Bites

The next appetizer was my most favorite & I know I will make them again very soon! These buffalo chicken bites I found on Made by Melissa were out of this world! Touchdown for sure! They were so creamy & cheesy and a great savory little bite! I served mine with ranch dressing, because that's what I prefer with my buffalo chicken, but visit Melissa's site for a homemade blue cheese … Read More

Honey Lime Chicken Wings

If you are new to Macaroni & Cheesecake you may not know that this is my absolute favorite time of year. You may expect the next thing I say to be that it's because of the cool, crisp air, the fall leaves & colors, and the pumpkin & apple flavors. Well all of that is true too...but it's really because it's FOOTBALL TIME!!! I am a HUGE NFL fan (Go Titans!) and I love college … Read More

Green Goddess Dressing

As promised, here is the dressing that Adam made. We had been to a graduation party in May and had Green Goddess dressing and I have been wanting to try and make my own ever since because it was so creamy & fresh. I went in search of a recipe and apparently there are two camps on the lovely green goddess. Some choose to add avacado and some choose to not. I decided to go with one that … Read More

Flank Steak

Friday Adam announced that he wanted to cook dinner on Saturday night, and he wanted me to pick out the recipes and tell him what to do step by step. So I immediately went in search of recipes. I decided to go the steak, potato & salad route, but make it a little trickier by making our own salad dressing (post to come later this week), marinade and doing twice baked sweet … Read More
