With this recipe you will have plenty of leftovers or be able to feed a large family. #Souplovers #TuscanLentil #FamilyDinner Ingredients (Serves 6-8 people) Meat & Protein Hot Italian Sausage Links (3) Mild Italian Sa

This recipe came about because I wanted a Chicken Philly, but I was out of french bread or rolls. I definitely didn't feel like going to the store so I just turned the recipe into a pasta dish. The sauce was inspired by my Spinach Artichoke Dip found in the When I Dip, You Dip section. Enjoy having a cream white sauce without having to use Heavy Cream! Have fun and be creative in the kitchen. Please don't be afraid to take chances. I hope you guys enjoy this dish! #pastalover

Now this isn't the healthiest recipe, but it is a delicious cheat meal. This is a no fuss meal where you don't need eggs or milk. I learned this Southern classic from my mother and grandmother. It was a Sunday Dinner staple after a long day in church. It's an extremely simple recipe, but so fulfilling and flavorful. Pork chops are cheap, so if you buy a pack split it up in Ziploc bags and freeze the extras. You only need four for this recipe unless you are cooking for a large

There is nothing better than juicy fried chicken with a crunchy outside. Usually to achieve this, you would need a bunch of steps and a lot of time. This is a no fuss, but super crunchy recipe that eliminates the need for buttermilk or eggs. Following this recipe you get to have beautiful crunchy chicken without having to soak anything in buttermilk or use eggs and extra flour. Cut down on the carbs and time! Use that extra time to have fun with your family. #chicken #tender

Garlic Mashed Potatoes are delicious enough to serve as a holiday side, but easy enough to make on any quick weeknight dinner. You will not love the carbs, but you will adore the flavor. So the next Thanksgiving when you're stuck bringing the drinks, because you family isn't quite sure if you can cook, make these potatoes and shut them up. I bet you they will ask for more. #Youaretoooldtobringjustnapkins #smashedpotatoes #familydinner #holidaysides Ingredients Vegetarian ( S

Every Thanksgiving or Christmas, I am in charge of making the Deviled Eggs. Well this year I wanted to spice my recipe up a bit by adding a kick of heat and crunchy bacon.

It seemed like every "Let's go out to eat" moment with my Line Sisters in college led to us ending up at Olive Garden. There was always one soup that stood out and it inspired this recipe. Every time I make it for my family it's finished quickly. I made my own version adding Leeks and various other meats. When I finally got it right I settled on this version. My fiance and I also made this delicious soup for our Ugly Christmas Sweater Engagement Party. #CopyCatOliveGarden #Z

My fiancé and I created this dish for our Ugly Christmas Sweater Engagement Party. (Yes, we catered our own Engagement Party. It was challenging, yet rewarding.) We had a plethora of pasta dishes, but this was one of the night's favorites. Since it was so delicious we decided to cook it again just a week later. This is a great dish for a cozy family dinner or a romantic night with one or two bottles of wine.😊 The creamy pasta paired with the salty bacon brings a burst of fla
