These stuffed mozzarella meatballs are good enough to eat by themselves, but throw in some nice pasta and pasta sauce and dinner could not be better! Mozzarella Stuffed Meatballs

Hawaiian Haysticks

I remember asking everyone if they’d ever had Hawaiin Haystacks growing up and it was about 50/50! If you haven’t it’s basically a big plate of rice with a homemade chicken gravy on top with some of your favorite toppings. The kids love preparing their own little mountain of dinner.

5 Minute Mac and Cheese

Well, the name says it all right? The key to this recipe is do not alter the recipe. You need milk with fat and good shredded cheese. Serve with some grilled chicken and vegetables and you are good to go. 5 Minute Homemade Mac and Cheese

    What a great collection of ideas! I transition back into a Crock Pot and freezer meal fiend this time of year. I feel like a squirrel trying to pack every nook and cranny of the freezer as tight as I possibly can! The smallest amount of work after a long, tiring weekday the better.

    I’m going to try that Crock Pot spaghetti soon!

    I am totally saving this under my favorites for the next time I am stumped on what to make for dinner – every dish looks so yummy!
