Sheet Pan Quesadillas
Third time’s the charm! We’ve played with how we made these quesadillas each time and I think we’ve found the winner! The flavor combinations are endless. We’ve only been making them with beef taco meat so far, but I look forward to trying other options. The key to the crispiness seems to be brushing the quesadilla with the…
Dinner is in motion… but the kids are hungry and keep asking for snacks…
Does this sound familiar? Sometimes dinner just takes longer than expected or sometimes dinner didn’t get started at a good time because… well… life.

My sister-in-law shared this recipe with me and I just had to give it a try. It is super easy and was a big hit in our house. This makes me want to try a manicotti using ricotta really soon. A big time saver here is not needing to precook the manicotti shells. I loved…
Philly Cheesesteak(ish) Freezer Meal
When our local grocery store had beef on sale, I bought extras to freeze for future meals. Usually I make them into freezer meals when I buy them on sale but I think I didn’t have any mojo for that on this particular day and decided to slice it and then freeze it for it…
