Life has been busy lately, kind of crazy if I am being honest. But then again that's mom life right? That means the days where I can prep dinner in advance (aka naptime) and know that I have a nutritious and filling dinner ready to go for my family are the best days! I am a big fan of recipes that are comforting, filling, and delicious all the while staying on the nutritious side! My easy pumpkin and sausage baked ziti made using Barilla ProteinPLUS pasta is the perfect dish to make any night of the week!

Being a mom sometimes means being super woman it seems. There just aren't enough hours in the day to do everything we are "supposed" to be doing. Between keeping up with a toddler whose mood changes from one second to the next, running errands, getting my work done, and trying to find a moment that I can have to myself, I'd be lying if I said dinner didn't sneak up on me from time to time! This just adds to the crazy that is motherhood which is why I make my life a little easier and keep Red Baron pizzas in the freezer for hectic days where I need an easy dinner! I like to whip up the ultimate Italian sub salad to pair along with a couple of pizzas for a quick and tasty meal the whole family will devour!
This week has been a dreary one guys. Rain every day and also forecasted for the foreseeable future! Whomp whomp. I just couldn't live in a place without lots of sunshine because I would eat all the things and take way too many naps! This kind of weather makes me crave comfort food of all varieties and since I grew up in Tennessee, a serious comfort food for me is homemade fried chicken! That's why you have to try my delicious homemade Nashville hot chicken anytime you are craving something comforting, a little decadent, and utterly mouth watering!

Somehow the summer is already almost over, which means school is about to start back up. As a mom, you are either really excited about this or you are the opposite and are getting really sad about your kiddos getting back in the swing of things. Or if I had to guess, you are probably somewhere in between. One thing is for sure and that is that you are going to need easy recipes to whip up for after school snacks and easy dinners! My back to school cereal crusted baked chicken tenders are going to be your new favorite recipe to make for your kids any day of the week!
Happy almost 4th of July guys! We just got back from the beach yesterday and I am super excited that this week is a holiday week to help me ease back into the swing of things. I am trying to get my mind out of vacation mode and back into working mode after a week relaxation! And while I am trying to get back into the grind around here, one thing is for sure I will be lighting up the grill for the 4th and one of my favorite recipes is definitely going to happen! My easy pork rib marinade is the perfect recipe for fail-proof delicious ribs that would be perfect for your BBQ tomorrow!
Roasted Asparagus Pesto Pasta
Happy happy Monday friends! How was your weekend? We had a great visit to Louisiana where we ate too much (as always), got to see friends and family, and came home yesterday to a gorgeous Texas afternoon! We spent the day in the backyard soaking up every second of the perfect weather that is for sure not going to stay around for very long! It's days like these where simple meals to me are the best meals. One, I don't want to take too much time in the kitchen away from my guys and two, days like yesterday make me want to eat a light and fresh meal that the whole family will be a fan of. My easy roasted asparagus pesto pasta is so perfect for any night of the week and you are going to love how simple this recipe truly is.
