MEATBALL SUB CASSEROLE

This recipe has been on my radar for YEARS! Meatball Sub Casseroles are crazy popular and something I knew my family would enjoy. The only problem with the recipes I had seen, was they all use cubed french bread pieces in the bottom. I have told y’all several times, I have an ‘issue’ with soggy bread. I absolutely can not eat anything soggy. So I sorta just put it out of my mind. Every once in a while, I would see it on pinterest and think, gosh that looks good. But that’s it

BAKED SPINACH AND RICOTTA ROTOLO

Rotolo is a lessor known Italian pasta dish where a filling is rolled up in pasta sheets then rolled like a roulade, poached, sliced then served. It is so tasty, but quite technical and time consuming to make. This is my version – a baked version which is made more like cannelloni. Much easier, just as tasty and best of all, you get crunchy brown bits you don’t get with the traditional rotolo!

Just a little tidbit of info about me- I look for recipes everywhere. Yep. Newspapers, fiction novels, and in this case, I tore this recipe off the back of a butter package! I’ll be honest, I make a lot of duds. But every once in a while I come across a gem of a recipe that just makes me absolutely giddy. This is one of those times. 4 ingredients, people. F-O-U-R. And you probably already have everything in your pantry. The crust ends up tasting like it has toffee in it and the chocolate caramel layer is just perfect. Scroll down to watch a video I created that shows just how simple these tasty little bars come together.

EASY BAKED OATMEAL CUPS

I have been eating Baked Oatmeal Cups for a while, but have been having a hard time getting a couple of my non-oatmeal eating kids to try them. I decided that I needed to add some color and maybe a few chocolate chips and for some reason they are all much more excited about eating oatmeal! My kids (and I) have all had fun mixing and matching our favorite toppings to create fun flavors – so far I think my favorite is dried cherries with chocolate chips! We like to use whatever kinds of fruit we have on hand and dried fruit works amazingly well too. This recipe makes 24 oatmeal cups so you can make tons of different combinations and everyone in the family can help create their favorite flavors!

RASPBERRY LEMONADE SLUSHIES

RASPBERRY LEMONADE SLUSHIES

If you are looking for a refreshing drink to enjoy now that warm weather has arrived, you will want to make these Raspberry Lemonade Slushies. These tasty slushies are made with fresh lemons and fresh raspberries. The adults and kids will love them. Lemonade slushies are my kiddos favorite drinks to enjoy during the summer. I was enjoying one of my favorite Tropical Slushies the other afternoon and my kiddos were fighting over my left overs. Since we had our nicest weather of the season yesterday, I decided to surprise them with an after school frozen treat. I had some raspberries from a markdown I found at Aldi and knew they would be perfect for Raspberry Lemonade Slushies

RASPBERRY LEMONADE SLUSHIE

Cold drinks and frozen treats are always a must in our house during the summer months. This year, I going to attempt to make them eat more healthy frozen treats. In the past, I would use Kool-Aid to make Blue Raspberry Lemonade Slurpees. They are really blue, tasty and super simple but these Fresh Fruit Slushies are so much better because they have natural ingredients.

These Raspberry Lemonade Slushies are super simple. After the kids finished up their cold treats they were anxious for seconds. I think one was plenty but I did explain to them how simple these slushies were and explained to them the process so they can make their own this summer.

These Slushies will be great for serving up at our pool parties this summer. Most of the kiddos like lemonade slushies (I realized that super quickly last summer after making a few batches) plus the addition of the raspberries makes these extra tasty.

The ingredients needed to whip up a small batch of these Raspberry Slushies is quite simple. You will need some lemons, raspberries and sugar.
