Spaghetti with Clam Sauce For One (Family Size Recipe Included)

Hi all, Happy Thursday! It's warming up around here, and I for one am loving it. Warmer weather for me means bright colors in nature and food, outdoor dinners, and it means I ditch my jeans for a dress. We're not totally there yet, but spring and summer mean refreshing flavors in food, and I've got the perfect in between dish for this time of year. The zesty lime and bright tomatoes make this a great welcoming spring dish, while the thick sauce and clams bring the flavors of winter together in one awesome bowl!

Creamy Tomato and Spinach Pasta

Happy Friday folks! It's the middle of my work week and as everyone around me knows, I'm dead tired and want a meal with little to no clean up, that's healthy and nutritious so S and I don't fall off our healthy wagon. Now, pasta is a super easy and relatively healthy option for nights like these, but honestly there's only so many times I can have spaghetti and sauce with garlic bread for dinner. We need something more packed with flavor and more bursting with color (even if it's just a different color than red). Sometimes the easiest solutions are the most fun! Being that I have little to no imagination when it comes to thinking of dinners on the fly, I took to the cabinets and freezer trying to find something to add to our boring pasta routine. What came out of the kitchen took 20 minutes, was super filling, packed with flavors, and pretty darn healthy!

Dinner for two!

Pillsbury's Pepperoni Pizza Bake

Okay Pillsbury, you got me! I want to try every single recipe you've got with your biscuits! And I just might ;) Today's Pillsbury recipe is The Pepperoni Pizza Bake. We love biscuits in this house, and we've done a bunch of things with them (mainly pigs in a blanket style with hot dogs and cheese) but tonight I was just having a HUGE brain fart... To the internet! One quick search brought me to Pillsbury's biscuit recipes section. And I clicked through so many delicious looking recipes, that I've decided: here at Cooking Class Hero, we're going to try them all! They all look so amazing, I just can't wait to show you guys how good they are.

Taco Pasta Skillet

Tonight is one of those nights where I accidentally fell asleep at 4 and slept until 7:30 when I should have had dinner on the table an hour ago! A quick glace around my kitchen says only one thing can be for dinner tonight: Tacos! But.. another look around the kitchen and I have no taco shells... Well, what now? Now we make clean up easy and make dinner in one pan!

Fiesta Burger Skillet

Today's recipe comes from The Girl Who Ate Everything. She has a spectacular blog that I personally love to crawl through when I'm having a bad day. Her recipe for Bunless Fiesta Hamburgers sounds amazing! But at the same time, very filling, and when she says good lord, she means good lord! I mean seriously, hamburgers as buns? Mr. H may be borderline body builder, but no one needs THAT much protein! So I decided to scale it down a bit. All the ingredients together sounded delicious to me, so I kept with her ingredients to a tee, but as I'm usually feeding an apartment full of boys, I decided the best way to feed everyone was a skillet. Now, this recipe has absolutely no carbs in it which means it won't stretch very far to feed all of us, and keeping with my quest to always have some sort of family recipe involved, I decided to try to mix this with Ranch Style Hash and put it over rice. Let's see how it turned out!
