Spaghetti Pie & Daily Table Setting
When you love lasagna but:
- You don’t need a whole 9 x 13″ pan…
- You don’t have the time to fuss with the assembly…
here’s what you need to do: Make Spaghetti Pie! This recipe was introduced to me almost ten years ago and it has become a staple in our house (meaning I make it a couple times a year, due to my love for fixing new recipes!). Recently I made it as I’m trying to thumb through my blog recipe file and make some of the dishes we loved. Take a look at this fork-full!

Turkey Kielbasa & Vegetables Sheet Pan Dinner
I love sheet pan dinners for four reasons:
- The roasted vegetables get crispy and sweet in the oven!
- They’re so easy!
- They’re fast!
- They’re sooo good!
I made this new Sheet pan meal last week and we loved it! It was ready in under 30 minutes! The Paprika Vinaigrette adds a really nice flavor to the sausage and vegetables. Wow, this is just a great recipe!! It’s great for a week night, but would also be good for company!
I tweaked the recipe to my liking and it is as follows. You could change up the vegetables, or choose to use beef or chicken sausage, if you desire. It’s super-easy to make it just the way you or your family would prefer.
I added a tossed salad and toasted bread to complete the meal.

Lazy Day Stew
Cold winter days just need hearty soups and stews, both to warm the body and comfort the soul!
One day last week I decided to make an old favorite stew recipe of mine – Amish Stew, and I went to my blog to pull up the directions, and I couldn’t believe it when I discovered I haven’t shared this gem of a recipe with you! Let’s fix that today!
I could give this dish a couple other names that would be more appropriate than Amish Stew. It could easily be called, Lazy Day Stew or Poor Man’s Stew. Both would be appropriate! Let me share the recipe and you’ll see why!
