I made these the other day, and thought they would be great if anyone is looking for something a little "special" to make for their Valentine.
Stuffed Jumbo Shells
1 pkg. jumbo shells, cooked
1 pound italian sausage, browned and drained of excess grease
2 cups ricotta cheese (or small curd cottage cheese)
2 eggs
1 cup shredded mozzarella cheese (plus more for topping)
1 cup crushed seasoned croutons
1 tsp. italian seasoning
1/2 tsp. salt
1/4 tsp. black pepper
1 bottle/can spaghetti sauce
Preheat oven to 375. Mix all ingredients together except for noodles and spaghetti sauce. Pour enough sauce in greased 9x 13 pan to cover bottom. Stuff shells with filling mixture. Place in sauce in pan. Dot tops with remaining sauce and sprinkle with more shredded cheese. Cover with foil and bake for 40 minutes. Enjoy!!!

Quick Easy Dinner Idea...
I have been in search of some quick easy dinner recipes lately, I think it is because I am pregnant and get more sick in the evening than I do in the morning, so dinner is always a struggle for me to make when I am feeling yucky. The other day Rice-A-Roni was on sale. This isn't something that I usually stock in my pantry, but I walked by it at the store and was reminded of a dish my mom use to make. I don't know what it is called, but it is super easy and delicious. Here is the recipe:
1 cup (approx.) Cooked chicken (leftover from grilling, shredded, etc.)
Can of green beans (or cooked frozen beans)
1 box Chicken flavored Rice-A-Roni
Cashews
Cook up the Rice-A-Roni according to the package directions. When it is done cooking add the chicken and green beans. Heat through. Top with Cashews. Serve with a yummy salad on the side.
What are some of your favorite quick and easy recipes? I could use some new ideas. :)

Family Party & Dutch Oven Recipes...
Nettie from Singing a Verse of my Song is in town, so our family all got together on Saturday night for a party. It was lots of fun to get together and visit. And the cousins had a ball playing together.
My husband and I did some dutch oven cooking for dinner that night. I was asked for my recipes. I thought I would post them here for everyone.
Dutch Oven Potatoes
5 lbs. potatoes, peeled and sliced (put in salt water to preven browning)
1 lb. bacon, chopped into small pieces
1 med. onion, chopped
salt and pepper to taste
Fry onion and bacon in dutch oven until bacon is crisp and onion is soft. Add potatoes and salt and pepper. Cook, stirring occasionally, until potatoes are tender. Add salt water from potatoes if they start to look too dry.
Peach Cobbler
2 29 oz. cans of sliced peaches, drained
1 box yellow cake mix
1/4 cup butter, in small pieces
1 can lemon-lime soda
cinnamon sugar
Oil dutch oven. Place peaches on bottom and sprinkle dry cake mix over the top. Dot top with butter chunks. Pour lemon-lime soda over the top. Sprinkle with cinnamon sugar. Cook until dry cake mix is moist, and areas are cakey (?). Watch carefully...those peaches will burn easily.
Seasoned Fried Chicken
2 lbs. boneless, skinless, chicken breasts, cut into strips or chunks
1/2 cup buttermilk
1 egg
1 cup flour
2 tsps. garlic salt
1 tsp. paprika
1 tsp. black pepper
1/4 tsp. poultry seasoning
Oil for frying
Beat buttermilk and egg together. Mix flour with seasonings in a zip-lock bag. Coat chicken pieces with flour mixture. Dip pieces into egg/buttermilk mixture and then back into the flour mixture. (This is messy, but so worth it!) Fry in hot oil (365) until golden, and chicken is thoroughly cooked. I had leftover egg/buttermilk and flour mixtures, so I mixed them together into a batter and used it to make fried onion rings. They were yummy!

WFMW: Quesedillas
When I was little we always had Quesedillas from the microwave. This made the tortilla soggy. I found another quick way to make Quesedillas, but with crispy tortillas. I make them in my waffle iron.
This is so quick and easy. Just heat up your waffle iron while you are preparing your Quesedillas and then place them into your waffle iron. Let cook until cheese starts to bubble. They are crisp, quick, and yummy! Works for me.
