So today I decided to make something that I’ve always wondered about. Swedish Meatballs! I looked up numerous recipes and pulled from each what I thought would suit my preferences. It’s definitely not 100% authentic, but it was darn good! I was pleasantly surprised at how well the spices paired with the creamy, tangy sauceContinue reading “Swedish Meatballs”

Leftover Spaghetti Bake
Cooking for one everyday means I have a LOT of leftovers. This means I have to get a little creative on leftover night. This one box of spaghetti made 3 dishes.

Vodka Sauce Stuffed Shells
It doesn’t look like much, but daaang! I’m so glad I took the time to simmer the sauce! I grew up with frozen microwaved Costco Stuffed Shells and these are leagues better!

Asparagus & Romanesco Fettucine Alfredo
There’s a reason why I don’t make Fettuccine Alfredo very often. Stick a fork in me, I’m done! It’s got a major calorie count and my jeans can only take so much! I tried to lighten it up a little the veggies, but it was still amazingly and deliciously rich. The pan Fried Chicken CutletContinue reading “Asparagus & Romanesco Fettucine Alfredo”
