HYMNS IN THE KITCHEN

This recipe might have more prep then what you'd wish for a weeknight, so leave it for Sunday afternoon when you have your family or friends with you to help form the meatballs and grate the zucchini. This sauce cooks on low for 1 hour and smells divine. The grated zucchini becomes one with the tomato sauce, so this is a perfect way to sneak zucchini into your diet if you have picky eaters.

I promised healthier recipes this month, and I'm delivering! Sort of.. I doused my half with more ranch and buffalo sauce then I'd like to admit, after the pictures have been taken. Let me tell you friends- this was such a treat of a dinner and really much easier then you might think. The squash roasts and fluffs so easily, the filling comes together easily and is hard to get wrong! I hope you'll enjoy this recipe as much as I've enjoyed it, which is a ton! This one is sure

I can surely say that the holiday season is when I host and attend the most amount of gatherings and pot lucks. These Firecracker Meatballs are a perfect pot luck addition because the meatballs themselves can be done a day or two ahead, then quickly reheat in a microwave or oven for a few minutes.

Happy Monday friends! I have a recipe that requires a little patience but not a lot of effort. The chicken breast is "ground" in the food processor and spread thinly onto the pasta sheets, followed by a delicious tangy goat cheese mixture. This is topped with purple onion and lots of Parmesan for good measure. A little fresh parsley is never a bad idea and this is a delicious meal! If you are not a fan of the acquired taste of goat cheese, you can substitute it for the equall

I've been loving these quick mixes of grain, protein and vegetables, served with a quick dressing. This can last in the refrigerator 3 or 4 days so it's great to have ready on hand to take to work or serve up as a quick lunch/dinner.

This recipe will heavily rely your preference. You can choose your favorite pasta, you can choose how much pesto to add to your pasta, and you can choose whether or not to add a protein to it. I personally enjoy my spaghetti pasta with a healthy amount of the pesto and some crispy seared chicken breast, and it was delicious! I made one meal out of the pesto and froze the rest to be used another day. Now, I know that when you see pesto, you think basil and pine nuts. That does

Because Zucchini is a moisture-filled vegetable, it's vital that you first salt and let the zucchini strips rest to extract as much moisture as possible, to prevent from having a soggy outcome. Don't worry, this doesn't mean you'll have a dry zucchini bake as a result; there is still plenty of juiciness from the fresh mozzarella and the béchamel. This is

The breadcrumb topping is the cherry on top, adding a little texture to this carbonara with its pleasant crunch and also adding to a beautiful presentation.
