Delicious Spinach and Beef Lasagna Recipe
Years ago I had a friend tell me she’d make homemade lasagna all the time using the no boiling lasagna noodles and that it tasted great! Inspired, I ventured to try to make this rather intimidating dish. It was intimidating to me since it seemed so difficult to make but using the no boiling noodles makes all the difference in the world! Since then, we make this dish every once in a while and last night we whipped it up within 20 minutes! It is really tasty with the spinach and fresh herbs and you’ll probably have leftovers for lunch the next day. Here’s our favorite recipe! You’ll…

Delicious Roasted Garlic Chicken and Brie Sandwich Recipe
I wish I could say I came up with this recipe all by myself but this delicious sandwich idea comes from one of my favorite sandwich cafes here in town. I figured I could use my leftover roasted garlic chicken breast from the night before and with just a few ingredients duplicate it at home. Friends, it was SO easy to make and goes far on taste. This is the perfect day after meal if you have leftover chicken or even turkey! I’m thinking of ways to keep eating turkey after the big meal.

The Fiona Drink: Inspired by Tim Burton’s Miss Peregrine’s Home for Peculiar Children
After seeing an early screening of Tim Burton’s newest movie Miss Peregrine’s Home for Peculiar Children we were inspired to create a drink that Tim Burton fans could enjoy! Be sure to check out our review of this awesome and peculiar movie here out in theaters September 30th.

Spaghetti Pie Recipe
Ahhhh, pasta! I love all things with pasta and cheese. So does my daughter. My son eats nuggets. And tenders. A few other items but basically he’s going to cluck one day *lol* From lasagna (roll-up’s too) to manicotti and all the in-betweens. I make an awesome baked spaghetti too – there is a difference between spaghetti, baked spaghetti and spaghetti pie. Making any of those with my daughter takes me back to the summer’s I spent up north with my Gramps. He was a great cook and I spent hours upon hours with him in the kitchen. Now I get the same joy teaching my daughter these recipes –…
