Dinnertime Can Be Rough When You Have Picky Eaters, But This Simple Casserole Will Put a Smile On Everyone’s Face, Guaranteed!

Are you in the mood for something hearty, warm, and filling for supper? If you’re like me and you have a houseful of picker eaters, making dinner’s that satisfy everyone’s hunger pains can be a struggle. However, this one-pan casserole is a real winner and we promise, everyone under your roof is going to love it! If they don’t, show them where the peanut butter and jelly are kept because honey, mama isn’t a short order cook. Haha!

This recipe for tuna noodle casserole combines albacore tuna, butter, milk, cheese, and pasta for an ultra-creamy meal. Even if you or some of your family members don’t care for tuna fish, don’t worry, the other savory flavors snuff out any overpowering fishy-ness.

What you’re left with is a hunger-busting pan of creamy goodness.

Keep the fun going all night long with this tasty fried ravioli appetizer! It may sound complicated, but you aren’t actually making ravioli from scratch. Simply purchase the store-bought frozen variety, bread them, and fry them up!

Sprinkle with parmesan and serve with your choice of dip. I’d recommend marinara as a first option! Try experimenting with different types of ravioli as well – like spinach and cheese, or even a meat filling. This recipe makes 24 cheese ravioli, but feel free to make a double batch – why not?!

Mac n’ cheese is a home down, country style dish that, not surprisingly, everyone loves.  The ultimate in comfort food, what happens when we throw in a delicacy?

Lobster is one of the most sought after shellfish on the market, and there’s no mystery as to why.  Fall-apart claw meat, drowning in melted butter with a twist of lemon…..can it get any better?  This recipe takes a classic easy favorite and dresses it up with the filet mignon of the sea.

Fast-Making Meaty Deliciousness

Swedish Meatballs deliver a classic creamy and savory flavor and are really quick to make. I had some Swedish meatballs a few weeks ago at my usual tailgate spot, and I loved them so much, I just had to hunt down a recipe for them to share with you.

Fast-cooking recipes such as these are great for parties, tailgates, and midweek dinners. Just pair with your favorite pasta, and there you have it! These aren’t the Italian-style meatballs that most people are used to, but if you like savory and creamy sauces, you’ll really enjoy meatballs this way.

I think that you could practically drink this gravy. And yes, as the original recipe provider suggests, you may want to make a bit extra sauce if you are using broad egg noodles or something similar. This recipe is best if you have enough gravy that it can really soak into the pasta; that way, the savory flavor really takes hold, and you can make that great meaty taste stretch that much further.

Bring a creative, savory pasta dish to your dinner table in only 35 minutes with this Chipotle Bacon Mac & Cheese recipe. Bacon just makes everything taste better, and sharp cheddar and a panko bread crumb topping bring everything together rather nicely.

No, there’s nothing ordinary about this mac & cheese recipe. Not that there is anything wrong with ordinary or basic mac & cheese; the homemade version is truly delicious. But particularly when I am looking for something quick to make for a full dinner, I enjoy combining a few basic things to make a filling and satisfying main dish. This recipe does just that. Call it macaroni and cheese that has been upgraded from side dish to delicious and savory main course.

I LOVE these, with all my heart and soul.

Those Maryland crab cakes are a classic seafood treat, sure to be a winner as a part of any meal.  These Panko Maryland Crab Cakes have a crust strong enough to hold everything together but light enough to let that delicious savory crabmeat flavor shine!  They pair nicely with the Quick & Easy Homemade Tartar Sauce. I happen to love crab cakes.  It’s really hard to go wrong with that great crab flavor for a good seafood dish, either as an appetizer or as part of the main meal.

Sadly, it is possible to mess up crabmeat; the most common mistake is to mix it with something that drowns out its great natural taste.  This simple recipe deftly avoids that and is also kind enough to provide a great-tasting tartar sauce–no need to settle for the store-bought tartar, when you can make some yourself so quickly and easily.

Quick tip: Make a double batch for a larger crowd (or just so you can have more yourself…)

Way too often I’ve found myself chewing on a candy bar in between lunch and dinner, when I’ve suddenly gotten hungry. It’s not the best choice if you’re trying to avoid extra calories – well, a candy bar isn’t a good choice even if you’re not worried about weight issues. A light but tasty snack that’s also easy to make and won’t make you feel guilty about eating between meals… if that sounds like something you could use in your life, try these Panko Zucchini Crisps.

Well, I have to admit that I do enjoy my dips, and that means that I also enjoy my chips. Those snacks are just so convenient and yummy!  But it is nice to mix in some healthy options, especially when those healthy options taste really good.  I think that you will enjoy these zucchini crisps if you give them a try.
