Family favorites
This is hands down delicious and is a new family favorite! I made this the simple way with pre-made seasoning, and our favorite jar of Alfredo sauce. You could certainly make this with your own seasoning blend and your own Alfredo but I wanted an easy dinner and not only was it easy it was oohhhh soooo gooood!!! TRY IT . I know you will love it!
INGREDIENTS
2/3 cup of olive oil
1/4 cup of blackening seasoning (found in your spice aisle)
1 (15 ounce) of your favorite Alfredo sauce
1 (12 ounce) package of dried fettuccine
4 boneless, skinless chicken breast
DIRECTIONS
First thing in the morning combine the olive oil and the seasoning, mixing well. Pour into a ziploc bag and add the chicken. Let marinade in the fridge all day. When you are ready to cook, take the chicken out of the bag and discard marinade. Cook chicken in skillet over medium high heat for about 5 minutes per side depending on the size of the chicken. When the chicken is cooked through take off of the heat, let rest and slice diagonally. Heat Alfredo sauce over low heat until warmed through. Cook Fettuccine until al dante. Mix pasta and sauce and add the chicken on top!

This is one of my favorite desserts to make as it is quick and easy and everyone loves it! This is a recipe that has been all over the internet for a few years now. You can adjust the topping of this recipe with the holidays, I usually add red and green candy topping for the Christmas season, you could add nuts and red candies for Valentine’s Day, most small candy and nut toppings will work.
INGREDIENTS
1 large sleeve of saltine crackers
1/2 pound of butter
3/4 cup packed brown sugar
2 cups semi sweet mini chocolate chips
1 cup of toffee bits (find in the baking aisle)
DIRECTIONS
Preheat oven to 425 degrees. Arrange crackers in a single layer on a cookie sheet that has been covered with non- stick aluminum foil, I also use a small amount of non stick spray. Set aside. Melt butter in a saucepan over medium heat, stir in sugar and bring to a low boil. Continue to boil and stir constantly until the butter is combined, this takes about 3-4 minutes. When the mixture is combined, pour it over the crackers slowly covering the crackers the best you can. Bake for 5 minutes or until the edges of the crackers start to turn brown. Take this out of the oven and sprinkle the chocolate chips over the mixture. Shut the oven off and return the cookie sheet back into the oven with the door open for 1 minute or until chips begin to melt. Remove from oven again and spread the chocolate completely over the cracker mixture. Sprinkle with toffee bits. Cool in the refrigerator for 1 hour. Remove from fridge and break into pieces.

This is our favorite quiche! This quiche is full of flavor from the spicy sausage. You could easily make this with a sweet sausage as well! We don’t usually have leftovers when this dish is on the table. Serve it with a fresh salad and dinner is done!
INGREDIENTS
1 pound ground HOT sausage
1/2 cup diced onion
1 Tablespoon butter
3/4 cup milk (I used 1%)
4 ounces cream cheese
3 eggs
1/2 cup cheddar cheese
1/2 cup Monterey Jack cheese
1/2 teaspoon Worcestershire sauce
salt
pepper
1 deep dish pie crust (partially cooked and cooled)
DIRECTIONS
Preheat oven to 375 degrees. In a skillet over medium heat crumble and sauté the sausage until completely cooked through. Drain off fat and remove sausage from heat, set aside. Melt butter in skillet, sauté onions in the butter until tender, add the milk and cream cheese. DO NOT BOIL THE MILK. Remove the pan from heat. In a large bowl beat the eggs, then add the cheeses, the onion mixture, Worcestershire sauce, salt and pepper. Mix thoroughly and pour this into the pie crust. Top with the crumbled sausage and bake for thirty minutes or until set!

I really enjoyed this dish. It is a great comfort dish on a cool night. It is also one that would be great for a potluck or to bring to a friend or neighbor. You can easily change this to your families favorite pasta sauce or your favorite sweet or spicy sausage! Serve with a salad and your dinner is done!
INGREDIENTS
24 jumbo pasta shells
1 pound sweet sausage (or spicy, or a combination)
1 (26 ounce) jar of your favorite pasta sauce. I used a garlic tomato sauce
15 ounces of Ricotta OR cream cheese
salt & pepper
1 teaspoon Italian seasoning
1 Tablespoon of butter
1 cup Parmesan cheese
DIRECTIONS
Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Cook pasta according to package directions being careful not to overcook. When the shells are done, drain them and mix in the butter, letting the butter melt.
In a large skillet, cook the sausage until no longer pink. Drain, stir in ricotta cheese, salt, and pepper stirring well. Add the pasta sauce, stir well and add the Italian seasoning. Take off the heat.
Spread some of the sauce mixture on to a 13×9 pan, add the shells in a single layer. Top the shells with the sauce mixture making sure you get some of the sauce IN each shell. Top with Parmesan cheese and bake for 20 minutes.
