Posted in Homemaking

Yep, another contest. Yes, I admit that I love contests and free stuff. The prize…. Your choice; blackberry jam, peanut butter cookies or homemade vanilla coffee mix. Head over here for the rules of the contest! Drawing to be held on February 13th. My entry into the contest is homemade Calzones. These are the same Calzones that are on my meal plan for this week.

Pasta Bake

This is a really easy dish that’s sure to please even a picky eater. Have them pick out their favorite pasta shapes to make the dish even more fun.
