Lexie looked at her plate, said “I don’t like fish” then after taking a bite said “I do like this fish though.” That’s a serious Mom win! I do like fish but she was right, this was definitely delicious!

Pesto Shrimp Salad
My kids were seriously licking their plates to devour the last bits of their dinner. This Pesto Shrimp Salad was ridiculously delicious. Needless to say, we didn’t have any leftovers tonight.
Lexie was in love with this sauce immediately. My kids are usually not huge fans of quinoa but it worked so well with this dish. The original recipe is meant to be a quinoa bowl but since I love extra veggies and salads, I used quite a bit more lettuce and served this as a salad instead. Good choice because it was amazing!

Sausage and Mushroom Pasta
This Sausage and Mushroom Pasta looked delicious but when I really read through the recipe, I realized I was going to need to make quite a few substitutions. I tried to lighten it up a bit with turkey sausage instead of pork. If I make it again, I may eliminate the heavy cream and use pasta water instead. I liked it with the cream but not sure I needed to cream in order to like it.

Crock Pot Mexican Lasagna
Some crock pot meals require a final step once you get home (make and add in pasta, stir in cheese then allow the sauce to thicken, etc). With this recipe, there are no additional steps. Once it’s done, it’s done. Ready to eat as soon as you walk in the door. The only thing I did was put a little plain greek yogurt on top 🙂

Easter Lamb Cake
The mold we use is old so when the recipe stays to make sure the mold locks, for us, that means securing it together with a piece of yarn or string. Our pan doesn’t have any steam vents which would allow me to check for doneness. Instead, I cook my cake for one full hour every year. So far so good🤞 If you’re looking to purchase a lamb cake pan, here is a great option with the steam vent.

Whole Wheat Crackers
These Sourdough Whole Wheat Crackers do take a bit of time to make but in my opinion, they are worth the effort. These crackers taste like freshly made Wheat Thins.
The recipe does make a decent amount of crackers…although I did eat A LOT before they even made it into the container. All of the smaller edge pieces were calling my name and just had to be eaten 🙂

One Pan Chicken Bake
When I make this again, I will need to make some adjustments. The chicken was DONE and the asparagus was not as crisp as I like. I know it boasts one pan but I will likely separate it in the future so get easy access to the chicken and asparagus to remove them when done. I also like to roast my potatoes and carrots a bit longer than called for so I’d put them it a bit earlier so everything would finish cooking at roughly the same time.

"Leftovers" Biscuit Cups
You could also fill these biscuit cups with leftover taco meat, chili, baked beans, casseroles (bacon cheeseburger casserole, broccoli and chicken alfredo casserole, etc), even beef stew. You could really fill a biscuit cup with just about anything. Turn your leftovers into a new dish!
