Quick Calabrian Lasagna

Quick Calabrian Lasagna

  One of Meat and Tater Man’s favourite meals is lasagna.  My daughter also loves this, and has the capacity to gobble up multiple servings of it, unlike other foods (like certain vegetables), which she nearly never seems to have any room for come supper time.  When I ask what they want for supper, they […]

I am a fan of the “meal in one pot” brigade for busy weeknights, and judging by the number of cookbooks dedicated to casserole cooking, I’m in good company.  In a recent call out to friends asking them what they’d like to see on my blog, I got a few requests for “one dish meals” […]

Alpen Magrone (Mountain Macaroni)

Winter doesn’t seem to want to cut us a break, and when it’s really cold outside, my body naturally craves carbs. Something I can eat a whole bowl of, and feel better for doing so. My inner child leans strongly towards mac and cheese (in any incarnation), and today was no different. With my daughter […]
