Baked pastas are among my family’s favorite dinners. Homemade lasagna has earned the title of “Most Requested Birthday Dinner,” but since it is a labor of love to prepare, I reserve it for special occasions. But just because I won’t layer noodles and sauce on a weeknight doesn’t mean that pasta casseroles aren’t on the menu.
When requests for lasagna start rolling in, I turn to recipes like baked spaghetti for inspiration. It has all of the essential elements of a family-friendly dinner, from the quick-cooking sauce to the tangle of spaghetti and cheesy finish. In this version of baked spaghetti, I’m tossing the pasta with another beloved Italian-American sauce, alfredo sauce. Alfredo baked spaghetti comes together with just 15 minutes of prep and tastes extra-creamy, cheesy, and delicious.
Amazing recipes for dinner, appetizers, brunch, even dessert!

Mr. Adam 5.0 out of 5 stars. Beautiful Photos with every recipe - innovative recipes. Reviewed in the United States on October 2, 2022 Verified Purchase This is a great cookbook! It’s not like any other you have seen. It’s unique, stylish and trendy recipes. It’s a change of pace and great inspiration to typical cookbooks! It’s not entirely outlandish with the recipes, either. They are pretty basic recipes using ingredients that most people have on hand, with a few exceptions. It definitely will inspire you to make some newer recipes and the photos are just so clear and tantalizing! I love the format that they do in their cookbooks! The only drawback to this item is that it is spiral bound. That is good when you want to have a recipe open, but I don’t like flipping through this as much because you have to be careful not to rip the pages, if it came a little warped like mine did. Also, I wish Delish used weight scales in their recipes. Some of the recipes are just cup measures, which can be inaccurate.

Kindle Customer 4.0 out of 5 stars Good ideas and many challenges Reviewed in the United States on September 7, 2022 Format: Kindle Verified Purchase I am just a beginner with using an air fryer so reading all these recipes has given me lots of ideas and challenges! Since I'll need to covert everything to gluten, dairy, and sugar free, I will have to experiment with substitute ingredients and hopefully, I'll be able to achieve good results! I was disappointed that several of the recipes used refrigerated biscuit dough? Haven't seen any gluten free subs so will have to try subbing; wish me luck!
On May 13th of this year, my life changed forever. My dearly loved husband of 48 years passed away in his sleep. He’d spent 7 weeks in the hospital before they sent him home. He kept me company for 3 more weeks before passing. I’d had the time and forethought to prepare myself for the many impacts his passing would bring, but I forgot one very important impact. I was suddenly cooking only for one person.
Becoming an “empty nester” is something that all parents face at some point in their lives. Among all the other changes in your lives, you find yourself cooking for just the two of you. So, if you’re at all like me, you start either downsizing your recipes or you look for ones that are already sized for two. You find that the large pans, crockpots, etc., are too big now. So, you downsize your appliances.
Cooking for One now!
I have two different friends who have each lost their spouse in the last few years. Not surprisingly, neither one cooks any more. One woman who lost her spouse just last year, has her son living nearby so they frequently bring meals over to her or invite her to their house. It works well for them.
My second friend lost her husband during COVID pandemic. He’d had Parkinson’s Disease and things just didn’t go well with the isolation. Mona has taken on a number of volunteer activities that she enjoys, including helping in the kitchen for our church’s Christian School. This allows her to bring meals home from work that she can eat later.
Me, I wanted to do something different. I still enjoy cooking, just not every night. To be honest, while my husband was in the hospital, I spent the mornings with him, ran home and threw hamburgers or hot dogs in the Air Fryer and made some kind of frozen potatoes to go with. Dinner would end up being a bowl of salad that I picked up premade from the grocery store. Not exactly healthy or economically sustainable! My doctor had been urging me to change my diet for years so now seems like the best time to do that.
Meal Prepping revisited
My youngest daughter gave me this idea when she came down after her daddy’s passing. She takes one day, and meal preps her dinners for the week. I wanted to do a head slap, why hadn’t I thought of that! I’d previously thought of chopping all the different veggies up and freezing them. So, why not just do that for a week at a time? Duh!
That takes planning, and folks, I can be great at planning. I have a freezer full of meats that have been packaged for two people. So why not start with them?
So, what does all this mean for You?
Going forward from here, you can expect more books that focus on meals for one person, meal prepping for the week, and even some menu planning. I still want to include individual recipes, recipe lists, etc. So, if you find yourself cooking for just one person, hang in there, I’m bring more recipes and ideas for you and me both!
There are two types of Super Bowl party guests: Those glued to the TV for every single play and those who just showed up for the snacks (and maybe the ads or halftime show). Either way, having the right food is critical for throwing a Super Bowl party! Luckily, there are enough Super Bowl snacks to keep everyone’s plate full, whether you’re munching nervously in front of the TV or hanging out by a cooler full of the best beers.
Generally, finger food is the name of the game. Prep a table full of plates, napkins and toothpicks, and keep an eye on what needs to be replenished. There should be plenty of classics like wing sauce recipes, nachos and loaded potato skins, plus a mix of healthy Super Bowl snacks. Once the halftime show is over, you can start sprinkling in Super Bowl desserts to add a touch of sweetness to the party spread.
Good Food, Good Meat, Good God, Let's Eat!
