This recipe has been hanging out in the back of my mind for years. And when I finally brought the first steaming bowl to the table, I thought ‘What in blazes took me so long!?’. Guys, I love lasagna so much. Guys, I hate the amount of time it takes to make lasagna so much….
Recipe Makeover
Oven Baked Spinach and Parmesan Barley Risotto
This is a risotto for parents. It’s a hands-off, one pan, no fuss side, that frees you up for playing with blocks, cleaning up spills, blowing noses or threatening to take away ‘shows’. You know, the important parenting stuff. The end result is a satisfying creamy, lemony, cheesy meal that gives you all the fancy-pants…
Sheet Pan Perogies with Feta and Lemon
We’re at it again with some sheet pan magic! Surely you remember this Haloumi and these Gnocchi. How about these Meatballs?

Oodles of mushrooms, shiitakes in particular, give this sauce a thick, rich meatiness you would never expect in a vegetarian recipe. Add layers of aromatic vegetables and a splash of…
Loaded Veggie Nachos
We’ve been going on and on about the deconstructed meal concept lately. We can’t get enough of it, because it totally works! The deconstructed meal allows families to eat the SAME meal together. It means parents don’t have to be short order cooks. It allows kids to build their confidence in trying new foods with…
