Meatloaf Bake
We didn’t really make traditional meatloaf in my family! My mom loved to throw in shredded carrots, oats, and corn and it was more of a bake than a loaf and so yummy. I recreated it here and it turned out SO good. Zach isn’t always a fan of the quirky things I grew upContinue reading “Meatloaf Bake”
Broccoli Mac & Cheese
Okay this turned out SO good! I can’t get over how easy this sauce is compared to a roux and how creamy it turns out. The broccoli makes it a one pot kinda meal which is very much my style. It would also be super good with bacon bits or a little ham but hasContinue reading “Broccoli Mac & Cheese”

Easiest Pesto Pasta
When we first starting exploring the yard at our new house, I noticed a few sad looking basil plants along the potato patch. Side note: I’ve learned that chickens kind of eat everything—like my chives, baby Swiss chard, baby lettuce—but only when they feel like it. So they miraculously left my plants alone for weeksContinue reading “Easiest Pesto Pasta”
