Macaroni and cheese is pure comfort food. There is just something about pasta in a creamy, cheesy sauce that feels like a warm blanket or brings back memories of your favorite comfy clothes. I tend to get a little bored with regular macaroni and cheese so I like to change it up from time to time. Cajun macaroni and cheese takes all the goodness of the classic dish and adds some spice.

Spicy Sausage and Tortellini Soup
Yesterday brought us temperatures colder than we’ve had in our area in 20 years! The schools were closed and no one wanted to go outside. Of course, what do you do on a cold day?

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.

Orecchiette Pasta with Sausage and Parmesan
I love pasta. Who doesn’t right? It can be used in anything from a side dish or become a star in a main course. I tend to skip the more traditional pasta in red sauce dishes though and look for ones that get most of their flavor from simple ingredients. When I made orecchiette pasta with sausage and Parmesan, the freshness of the ingredients were where the dish got almost all of the flavor. Yummy!
