Here’s what we had, in no specific order:

Carbonara Pizza – This one went over hugely here. Not only were there no leftovers, I’ve already had requests for more. I used the cheaper bacon alternative, but other than that there were no changes made and it was perfect.

Arroz on Pollo – Another hit with returns for seconds (and thirds for some!) and one more added to the family recipe pile.

Grandma Nucci’s Meatballs – (pictured) This is now my go-to meatball for pasta dishes. This was the most delicious meatball I’ve had, hands-down! Bursting with flavor and a mere 5 ingredients, it doesn’t get any simpler or tastier.

Penne Pasta with Pesto – Two of my absolute favorites together – and the pesto recipe was perfecto! The kids loved it as well and it’s gone into our rotation, too.

Sticky Lemon Chicken – So good! Yet another go-to for a quick chicken recipe and one that everyone liked. Any side dish would go well with this, but we made the recommended mashed potatoes and peas & carrots.

Barbecue Bacon Burgers – OK, so I’ve been doing things like adding potato chips to my sandwich for years, but who’da thunk to add them to a burger? I’ve been asked to ‘please only make this burger from now on’ , and I think I’ll oblige! Very tasty and something you can serve for family or company.

That was our week  - and next time we’ll do meals from appetizer through dessert and report on that, as well. Please give one or two of these a try, they’re very worth it!
