Sausage and Pepper One Pot Pasta Recipe

July 1, 2014 By Shannah Coe 4 Comments

In my dreams, summer is a time to slow down and relax.  Days are spent lounging by the pool and nights are spent with delicious dinners on the deck. I’m a good dreamer, right? Reality is far different around here. Gymnastics practices are longer, camp carpools are added into the mix and getting dinner on the table becomes so much harder.  Oh, add the heat into that mix and turning on an oven or stove and cooking just loses its luster. That is where the beauty of something like this sausage and pepper one pot pasta comes into play.  It is one pot and a meal that cooks in under thirty minutes. Sound too goo to be true? Well,  you definitely aren’t dreaming 🙂

One pot is all this recipe takes to make an amazing pasta dish the whole family will love.

Make Your Own Pasta Bar #ShareTheTable

April 16, 2014 By Shannah Coe 1 Comment

This is a sponsored post written by on behalf of Barilla, but opinions are my own.

We are a busy family.  With two work out of the home parents, this blog, kid activities and a dozen other things going one, our schedule gets packed very quickly.  A lot of our meals used to be eaten in the carpool lane on our way to one activity or another.  After reading the statistics on how meals together can impact families {kids getting better grades, eating better foods and describing themselves as overall happier}, I decided that fast food restaurants had enough of my money! We decided to make sitting down for dinner together a HUGE priority in our life.  I mean we all have to eat anyways {doesn’t everyone?!} so why not make it the focus of reconnecting our family? Spending time with my family at the dinner table means we get to catch up on what is happened during the day, what the kids are excited about at school and just reconnect. 

Sometimes getting dinner on the table and actually being able to sit down and eat it becomes a challenge.  During those times, I turn to easy to make meals that I know everyone in my family will enjoy like pasta.  Of course, just like pretty much everything else in life, we all complete opposites on what we want ON our pasta so a make your own pasta bar is an awesome option for us.  I cook up a few ingredients and combine them with Barilla pasta sauce and let everyone put together their favorite dish!

No Boil Barbecue Chicken Alfredo Lasagna

December 12, 2013 By Shannah Coe 12 Comments

“This post is part of a social shopper marketing insight campaign with Pollinate Media Group™ and Barilla, but all my opinions are my own. #pmedia #JoytotheTable  http://cmp.ly/3/8vNxcO.”

My family loves pasta.  Like, seriously loves pasta!  I love the convenience of many pasta dishes too…especially lasagna because it can be assembled ahead of time and cooked later.  Plus, lasagna is one of those dishes that gets a little better the day after too.  The problem: I am not really a traditional lasagna lover so I tend to skip it when making my weekly menu plan.  The other day, I was looking at how crazy busy our week is going to be and decided lasagna would be the perfect thing to fill one of our empty days.  I stopped on the way home from getting my haircut and grabbed the ingredients I needed to make No Boil Barbecue Chicken Alfredo Lasagna.

This is a great idea and totally different take on lasagna! YUM!

Sage Butternut Squash Pasta

November 6, 2013 By Shannah Coe 66 Comments

Getting extra nutrition from pasta makes a dish like Sage Butternut Squash Pasta even yummier, especially when you have pasta night once a week!

Pasta night is probably my favorite night of the week.  I am a total pasta nut and I love trying out new recipes.  I also like to make sure the food I am eating provides health benefits too so I love the Barilla Better for You pastas.  Sage Butternut Squash Pasta…

A Fall Dinner from World Market: Pumpkin Macaroni and Cheese

October 8, 2012 By Shannah 22 Comments

One of my favorite places to shop when I am out running errands and have a little bit of extra time is World Market.  It is also my go to place for new table linens and other decorative items.Mathlete recently got offered a new job and I wanted to make him a special dinner to celebrate.  I know he loves macaroni and cheese so I figured that would be the perfect thing.  I stopped in at World Market to check out some of their bakers to cook my macaroni and cheese in.

They had some great options but this green beauty caught my eye immediately.  I grabbed it, along with two matching ramekins and decided to look around the store some more.
