Easy Penne Pesto Pasta with Chicken, Pinenuts, + Sundried Tomatoes
Last week I shared another recipe that is inspired by a local Kentucky restaurant, Bella Notte. This is super easy to put together and tastes delicious! If you don’t have the exact ingredients listed below, feel free to improvise with whatever ingredients you have in your pantry. This also works great as leftovers and is just as tasty heated back up! Find all the instructions and ingredients listed below-
Easy Pantry Pizzas
I wanted to share an easy and favorite recipe that you can easily make using whatever leftovers you may have in your fridge and pantry! There are a couple of options for the crust. I used Trader Joe’s pre-made flatbread pizza crust (available in the bread section). However, Trader Joe’s also has great pizza dough, but it will require an extra step when preparing these pizzas. If you don’t have pizza dough available, you can use any kind of French bread, baguette, flatbread, or naan that you have!
Cook Once, Eat All Week: Taco Ground Beef
We eat a ton of beef in our house and it’s definitely my husband’s favorite food. Thankfully it is also the easiest ingredient to get the MOST recipes out of to feed a family on a budget! Today I’m sharing how to put together a whole week of meals with one staple recipe: my taco ground beef. Make a big batch of this and you can have burrito bowls, tacos, nachos, salads, casseroles, and more! You can also freeze this if you want to spread out your taco inspired recipes and not eat them all in the same short week. I’m listing my favorite recipes to use this in below, but really the possibilities are endless!

You really can easily customize this with a variety of different baked goods, desserts, and sweet treats or by doing a certain color-scheme or theme if you need to!

If you’ve been following along for a while, you know that I love shopping at Trader Joe’s especially for quick and easy dinner options. I’ve shared lots of Trader Joe’s recipes here but by far my most popular is my quick, 2-ingredient tortellini and roasted red pepper tomato soup. I decided to do a new twist on this recipe and bulk it up a bit by adding sausage and kale as well as diced onion and some extra diced tomatoes. I didn’t think it could get much better than my original recipe, but this one tops it for me!

I recently made this salad board for one of our Christmas parties and I’m kind of kicking myself that I hadn’t thought of this sooner! It really is such an easy way to entertain for a crowd and feed a lot of people without a lot of prep! It also works especially well if you have guests with certain food allergies, sensitivities, or preferences because everyone can make their own salad with the ingredients they want. This can also be customized a million different ways with all kinds of different ingredients! Mine leans more towards an Italian salad with the ingredients but there are so many different possibilities for this!
