My fiancé and I created this dish for our Ugly Christmas Sweater Engagement Party. (Yes, we catered our own Engagement Party. It was challenging, yet rewarding.) We had a plethora of pasta dishes, but this was one of the night's favorites. Since it was so delicious we decided to cook it again just a week later. This is a great dish for a cozy family dinner or a romantic night with one or two bottles of wine. The creamy pasta paired with the salty bacon brings a burst of flavor in your mouth. #blacklove #pastadish #baconmakeseverythingbetter #familydinner Ingredients (Serves 4-6 people) Meat ..read more

Guacamole is an avocado-based dip or spread first developed by the Aztecs in present-day Mexico. This is my favorite, well only, way to eat Avocados. I personally cannot eat straight Avocados like people at my job or pretty much every health crazed millennial. Like, you are really just going to eat that mushiness with salt or on toast? It might be good for you, but I personally just cannot. I will get my healthy fats in the form of this delicious dip on Taco Tuesdays. I do like to pair my Guacamole with tacos, burritos, nachos, or my husband's my Homemade Taco Crunch Wraps. Enjoy this recipe a ..read more

Now this isn't the healthiest recipe, but it is a delicious cheat meal. This is a no fuss meal where you don't need eggs or milk. I learned this Southern classic from my mother and grandmother. It was a Sunday Dinner staple after a long day in church. It's an extremely simple recipe, but so fulfilling and flavorful. Pork chops are cheap, so if you buy a pack split it up in Ziploc bags and freeze the extras. You only need four for this recipe unless you are cooking for a larger family. Have fun with this. You will be done in no time. Happy Cooking! #pork #familydinner #easydinner #crunchy #spic ..read more
