This weekend I had the awesome opportunity to do this. Me, Mario and my friend Kelly. “To Laura, Pasta is love. Mario Batali” Pasta is love. He knows me so well already. Kelly and I were standing in the very long line to meet Mario and I started flipping through...
If I had to choose, if I absolutely had to, I think beef stroganoff would be my favorite meal. But please don’t make me choose. That would be cruel. Normally when I make beef stroganoff I make the same recipe that my mom always made when I was growing up. But this...
Hi there! Remember me? I used to post recipes around here? Ha 🙂 Life’s been a bit hectic in the last few weeks and our dinners have consisted of tried and true, quick favorites, so posting, as you may have noticed, has been sparse. I’m happy to say that we...
When I received the Pioneer Woman cookbook on Christmas Day, I turned to Brian and threatened to go all Julie & Julia on him and make every single recipe in the PW cookbook within a month. He laughed and shook his head as if to say “Silly Laura, of course...
Also known as Sausage, spinach, and roasted cherry tomato pasta. But that’s a super-wordy name. A mouthful (get it. food? mouthful? I’m hilarious, I know. I crack me up) Brian’s Aunt Pam is just one of those women- Her home is gorgeous and always immaculately clean, she makes 5 star...

I made this recipe a few weeks ago to go along with Chicken Cordon Bleu– which by the way, was a very nice pairing. I confess, though, that I had actually made it one other time several months ago and it was a big, giant FAIL. Last time around I...
Remember how I said that I used to not like stuffed shells? Well, now I can’t get enough of them! I concocted these when I had a package of sausage out of the freezer that I had intended on using for something else which fell threw. The spinach needed to...
I adore pasta. It’s easily my favorite food group (I firmly believe it deserves it’s own place in the food groups. Fruits, vegetables, ice cream, pasta. My world is complete). Yet I have to confess that I’ve always hated stuffed shells. I must have had some really nasty ones at...

Ingredients: 1 lb ground beef or turkey1 packet taco seasoning15-ounce can tomato sauce8 ounces medium shell pasta (I used bowtie since I’d run out of shells)8 ounce package cream cheese, softened1 cup sour cream8 ounces shredded sharp...
