Spinach & Cheese Stuffed Pasta Shells
The perfect meal on a cold wintery day to warm you up and fill you with comfort. Jumbo pasta shells are stuffed with fresh spinach, yummy cheese, & Italian spices.
Homestyle Spaghetti
I remember my mom cooking spaghetti that tasted just like this recipe. It has taken me a couple tries to re-create my childhood memory of my favorite meal. And what made it taste just right? The sauce. I like other versions of spaghetti as well, but this one is my favorite. Just like mama made it!

Southwest Style Chicken With Rice
I sincerely apologize for this awful picture. But I assure you, this recipe tastes FANTASTIC! I just forgot to get a picture arranged all pretty on the plate, so I had to take it while in the crock-pot...without dropping my husband's phone in there. But this recipe, like all of my recipes, has been husband and friend approved. It was very good. Great flavor, mild spice, satisfying comfort.

Mediterranean Style Focaccia Sandwiches
A delicious sandwich bursting with the fresh taste of zucchini, bell pepper, yellow squash, red onion, pesto, & feta cheese.
Quinoa with Avocado & Feta Cheese
I feel that I went out on a limb with this recipe. For some reason the word quinoa makes me cringe, and I automatically think it will be disgusting. However, it is definitely not! I was happily surprised and so was my husband with this healthy creation. I mixed the
quinoa with mediterranean style vegetables, avocado, and fresh spinach, then topped with feta cheese. This is a great recipe, and healthy for you too!
