Happy New Year!
I’m all about moving forward in life and I can’t wait to dig into 2017. This year, instead of setting unrealistic goals that I’ll feel bad about by February, I made an entirely new kind of list. Here is what my resolution list is shaping up to look like:
1) be kind to myself
2) ice beautiful cakes
3) laugh more
4) make pies with “how’d she do that?” crusts
5) meditate
6) master macaroni and cheese
7) be patient with my kids
8) bake more cookies
9) use my passport
10)work on my ice cream game
I would love to hear what you guys are thinking about for 2017. What’s your list look like? What would you like to see me make in 2017?
I’m kicking off 2017 with a great week of meals! I’m offering up some cozy dinners that are sure to make everyone happy. Who wouldn’t want to be welcomed home with a comforting Macaroni and Cheese, a soul satisfying Lentil Soup, a great Taco Lasagne, and Ina Garten’s one skillet wonder roast chicken with lemon? It’s going to be a crazy good week of food. Join me by checking out these recipes.

I’m working on my macaroni and cheese game by taking some of my favorite recipes for a test run. I love Ina Garten’s addition of bread crumbs and tomatoes to this American classic. Serve this with a big green salad for a winner of a dinner.

Change up Taco Tuesday with this brilliant Taco Lasagne. Did you catch that? Taco. Lasagne. It’s like if your favorite taco and lasagne had a baby, this would be it! It’s a perfect winter casserole that is a wonderful dinner or a huge hit at a potluck!

Ina Garten gets me. She gifted us with this one skillet roast chicken and lemons just in time for the holidays! I’ve served this with both rice and orzo because my kids can’t get enough of this delicious lemon sauce!

This is the soup that got my kids eating lentils. It’s a classic, straight forward version of lentils that makes a perfect dinner. I pack up the left overs in a thermos for Lily’s lunch and it always come back empty.
