Little Turkeys Penne With Cheese #GayleaMom
I hate to tell you this. Maybe it’s just my kids. Maybe it’s just my house. But my littles used to eat amazingly well. They were rockstars at vegetables and dinner and lunch. I rarely worried. Then they hit double digits, ten and up, and they developed sudden fussiness. It’s infuriating! I make a great dinner and they say – “Um, could I please just make a peanut butter sandwich?” Or “Too spicy!” My one child exists on peanut butter and pizza. Not together of course. Occasionally I stumble upon a recipe the kids love that keeps us all happy at dinner. This year I have also experimented with a…

Family Favourite Cheesy Stuffed Pasta #GayLeaMom
Cheesy stuffed pasta I love manicotti and I love cannelloni too. I remember making these both as a teenager. I still love a tasty cheesy pasta dish and so does my family. So sometimes we combine the two ideas of cannelloni and manicotti and make our own version of cheesy stuffed pasta with a little help from Nordica cottage cheese. The ingredients aren’t expensive and this should make enough for the entire family, and then some. When we made this scrumptious and nutritious dinner last week, we actually made enough for two nights. The kids ended up taking some for lunch at school and so did my husband. I am…
