Girl, where have you been? It’s been forever and a day! I’ve missed you, I’ve missed cooking, and I’ve missed blogging. Let me fill you in on life real quick…

Grown-Up Bacon Mac and Cheese
Holy balls. This is the perfect recipe for those of you who like to enjoy a big bowl of macaroni and cheese for dinner and absolutely nothing else. It’s beautifully flavored, creamy, cheesy, and with the smokey bite of crisp salty bacon on top?? Oh man, you guys are in for a treat — I’m not even kidding. It’s amazing.
Breakfast alla Carbonara
I am a lover of breakfast. I can’t help it. It’s the most versatile meal of the day. This plate of pure lust you’re about to encounter is a perfect “lazy Sunday” dish that you and a loved one can snuggle up and share in bed. I thought up this specific recipe in my head and quickly knew I had to execute. This stuff here is absolutely delicious. Everything comes together so perfectly — all of the flavors compliment each other s harmoniously. It’s incredibly simple to make but requires you be on your feet and alert all at the same time or you’ll end up with a disaster. I’m gonna show you how to prevent an “spaghetti alla scrambled eggs” and instead hook you up with creamy, more lush dish. Are you game?
Baked Macaroni & Cheese
*cracks knuckles* This may be the most requested recipe ever. I kinda get why…not too many people hate macaroni and cheese. If you do, you might be a weirdo.
Pasta with Mushrooms, Pancetta & Sage
You have to make this, I’m not even kidding. It’s so good I made it twice in a week lol…my friend couldn’t stop eating it. He was upset he forgot to take some home with him, but like I told him “These. Are. The breaks!” *shrug*
Lasagna Rolls
Who doesn’t love lasagna? If you don’t, I’m judging you! But seriously, this is a really great recipe for you lasagna lovers out there, who may want to put a different spin on it. This is a slightly dumbed-down version of my own lasagna recipe, converted into cute little rolls. I took out a lot of complicated steps and complex ingredients so that you first-time mini-chefs can do this without feeling like a total failure. I am giving you the basics here, so that you can customize to your liking. Be creative and make this recipe yours.
Creamy Fettuccine Alfredo…mmmmm
I’m a complete sucker for creamy pasta dishes. Don’t get me wrong…the red stuff is awesome too, but the creamy, buttery, fatty sauces? Sign me up, please! Pure comfort 😀 Here is a great basic alfredo recipe that is stupid easy and minimal on ingredients. The best part of this recipe is that you can make this in about a half hour, great for those short on time. You can add all sorts of vegetables, meats, or seafood to this dish and really make it your own. In other words, go nuts!
