Baked Ravioli Recipe
Over Winter break, I wanted something quick and easy for dinner, and had this crazy idea to bake ravioli til it was crispy instead of boiling it like I typically do. Of course, I figured I wasn’t the first one with the idea, so I googled baked ravioli and found a recipe from Land-o-Lakes that…
Chicken Tortilla Soup (My Husband’s New Favorite Recipe!)
While I was out of town this summer, my husband mentioned that he had made the most delicious chicken tortilla soup EVER, and that all of the kids were singing his praises.

Cheese Tortellini in Tomato Spinach Sauce Recipe
I did something slightly out-of-character at the beginning of this week – I created a menu plan and I have stuck with it all week. I was so excited about the new recipes I had found, but as I worked my way through the recipes this week, I found myself less than thrilled with the…

Our Recipe for the Perfect Grilled Steak – Just “Cross Your Fingers!”
I asked my husband to share the story of how we learned how to grill the most delicious meats on the block. “It doesn’t take a master chef to grill a good steak.” ~CandyMan When Lolli and I got married, neither one of us was an amazing chef. I had worked in Richmond’s LeMaire…
