Aldi – Flub – Risotto
Yesterday we introduced you to the find manicotti, today we’re sad to announce that the same Priano brand that we raved about has some pretty bad risotto. Well to be fair I’m not sure I’m a fan of risotto because I don’t know that I’ve ever had the real thing but this wasn’t worth trying…

Aldi – Finds – Manicotti
Today starts a new type of blog, food > reviews that I’m going to use to review foods found in stores. Like Aldi, Trader Joe’s, Whole Foods, etc.. The finds will be ones worth trying (or buying) again, opposed to flubs which are better left on the shelf. Priano is the name brand for Aldi…

Homemade Alfredo Sauce
Stealing this from here.I really love alfredo sauce but it’s another one of those things I just buy a jar of even though I’ve heard it’s easy enough to make at home. So I looked it up and it does look simple. We’re starting with a half batch, we got the cheese at Aldi and…

Recipe – Pasta Sauce
Pasta is a staple, for us, Sam’s club Classico sauce is bought by the case and it is perfect as a base for either ground Italian sausage or meatballs. But as I start to explore healthier options a simple meatless tomato-based sauce would be nice to have in my back pocket. This is from Marcella…

Roasted Potatoes
I’ve needed a go-to recipe for a potato side dish that isn’t mashed. I’ve done this with red potatoes and even froze them but I’ve never gotten the frozen ones to taste like fresh, go figure… In any case, I started with this recipe and changed it up like so: 1.5 pounds of potatoes. This…

Enhanced Box Cake
So I like cake, and being an adult I can make it whenever I want. Now I know some people who wouldn’t have a boxed cake in their house to save their lives, I’m not one of them. Boxed cakes are a great place to start but you have to rev it up a bit…

Queso – AKA Velveeta Cheese Sauce
I’ve always loved Velveeta cheese sauce and have always been meaning to put down a recipe that I can go to when in need so here it is. It’s a bit more viscus when it comes out of the microwave but it thickens as it cools and sets up perfectly for reheating. 8oz Velveeta Processed…

Instant Pot Cheesecake
I absolutely love cheesecake but it’s been a culinary DMZ for me for years. Then I got an instant pot, then I got an accessory kit which came with a spring form pan. Cheesecake, in the instant pot? Yes, yes, a thousand times yes!!! This way, now!!!This recipe is blatantly plagiarized from these fine folks.

Meatloaf
Probably one of the better comfort foods around, easy to make and ingredients readily available. Love it with some mashed potatoes and green beans.

Instant Pot Cheesecake
So since I was a kid I’ve loved the tangy sweet delight that’s known as cheesecake. Mom used to make a cheesecake for the Octoberfest at TCCC, I was 8??? In any case I’ve always loved it but making it seemed a daunting and downright impossible task. Even Alton’s episode left me despondent that it…
