Slow Cooker Sausage, Mushroom and Orzo Soup

Skillet Pasta with Italian Sausage
Another Skillet Dish recipe! The working girl (and guy) has gotta love these. One pan, a few common ingredients and dinner is on the table. I adapted this dish from Country Cooks magazine. A subscription I sometimes love. Not all their recipes works for me, which is a bit bizarre since the entire premise of…

Spinach Lasagna Rolls
Here I go…gettin’ all Italian again! But what is the best thing you can do with homemade Ricotta but make Lasagna? What was a girl to do? I’ve wanted to try these rolls for some time in lieu of a standard pan Lasagna and they didn’t dissapoint. They would be really great to serve at a…
