Baked Cream Cheese Spaghetti Casserole

"Oh, oh, oh- this is good!" - Tate
"Awesome." - Virginia
"Yummy." - Rebekah
Ellyn just agreed with everyone. 

So, I have found another good one! Baked Cream Cheese Spaghetti Casserole. You can find the recipe here.

Thanks Pinterest! 

 I used a Basil & Garlic spaghetti sauce for mine, I like the way it makes it a little sweeter. I also used a full 16 ounces of spaghetti. Next time I would add a couple more ounces of cream cheese (I would also cube it, so that it melts a bit better) and a tad more sauce. I also used Parmesan cheese out of the jar- because that is what I had on hand, I am sure that it is even better with some fresh grated on top.

If you are a pasta lover like this family I suggest that you give this a try!

Challenge to Myself

I am going to give myself a little challenge. A Food Challenge to be exact. You see, there is this site called www.pinterest.com. It is filled with so many things ranging from recipes to home improvement! I love it! So, what I want to do is try at least one new recipe that I find on there at least once a week if not more.

Today I want to tell you about a dish that we have already enjoyed twice! We love Monkey Bread! With that said there is this really good variation out there called Sticky Bun Breakfast Ring. You can find the recipe here.

I have been bad about taking pictures of my food, and I promise to get better at it!

For Easter I decorated cupcakes- they were inspired by Pinterest too, and I DID take pictures of those!

 Yes, this is a bunny with no eyes, I forgot to make a color for them, so I only made one.
My Bunny Buns cupcakes!

Here We Go!

I have been gone awhile once again. Last night at a meeting we were talking about blogs, and I realized that I needed to get back in the game- so, here I am! I didn't want my first blog back to be about random thoughts, so we are going to talk about food! One of my favorite things!
Last summer I was on a burger kick and blogged about all the different ones we were making- some were really good and we will have them again this summer. But, for now we are still on comfort foods, seeing as the weather cannot make up its mind as to if it is Winter, Spring or Summer. I am hoping that we are heading the right direction now, 59 degrees ans sunny today.
I joined Pinterest.com a couple of months ago and have found some things that have been pretty good. One dish I made last night, Slow Cooker Honey Sesame Chicken. You can get the Recipe here: http://www.sixsistersstuff.com/2012/01/slow-cooker-honey-sesame-chicken-recipe.html

It was pretty good, and very easy to make. The kids and Tate really enjoyed it. I on the other hand thought it could have been better. I think there was too much soy sauce, I will make it again and cut back on the soy sauce. Unfortunately I did not think about taking pictures. I am glad that everyone enjoyed it!
