Homemade Ricotta Cheese

April 9, 2013 By Shannah 11 Comments

You guys remember my gig as a contributor over at Sugar Bee Crafts, right? I am loving it. Mandy is super supportive and a great person to learn from!

Last month, I shared a recipe for homemade ricotta cheese that I am bringing over here today to share with you in case you missed it.

The origin of this recipe dates back to a random Friday night when I was super pregnant with my youngest. I was spending some downtime hanging out with my two closest friends {they’re married!} while the Mathlete was indulging his racing pastime. We were watching Diners, Drive-ins and Dives and they shared a brief rundown of how to make homemade ricotta.

Now, a lot of you might question why to even bother making something homemade that is so readily available at the store. I certainly did…until I made it!

Creating a weekly menu plan can be a real challenge sometimes! It is hard to make sure it includes recipes you know your family will enjoy but also keep from always making the same old things. That is what What to Cook Wednesday is here for! It is your go to source for ideas to help build your weekly menu plan!

Let’s take a look at what is on the list this week…

Sunday: Cooking seafood on the weekend is always great because I make a quick run to the store and get it super fresh. This week, tomatillo shrimp makes an appearance.

A #FreshTake on a Macaroni and Cheese Recipe

April 2, 2013 By Shannah 9 Comments

Macaroni and cheese is a favorite in our house. E could probably eat for every meal and be completely satisfied. I’ve been really trying to integrate their favorite choices into our everyday meals these days while also making it easy to prepare.
