The holiday season is here with everyone hustling and bustling, trying to get everything ready for holiday celebrations. However, there are those that will not be having much of a holiday. I saw on the news that the local food banks here in Philly need help as their shelves are getting bare, not only for the holidays but also to stock up for the cold winter months ahead. It is a dire situation.

San Giorgio® Pasta has a fantastic initiative that will help many in need this season – #PastaForGood. Through Pasta for Good, New World Pasta Company, the maker of San Giorgio® Pasta, will be donating 25,000 boxes of pasta to non-profit organizations that are serving those in need throughout Pennsylvania, Maryland and Washington, D.C. 5,000 boxes of pasta are going to be donated to each food bank they are helping including one of my favorites, Philabundance here in Philadelphia. Besides Philabundance, this initiative is also helping Maryland Food Bank in Baltimore, Central Pennsylvania Food Bank in Harrisburg, Greater Pittsburgh Community Food Bank and Capital Area Food Bank in Washington, D.C.

Tried and True: Baked Pasta With Italian Sausage #EasyCookingWithPAM

August 5, 2014 By Aly 3 Comments

This is a sponsored post. My opinions are my own.

I have a confession – while I love cooking – I absolutely detest the cleanup.

While some people find zen while doing dishes, I don’t. And, when I know a dish is going to be beyond especially messy and will require a bit of soaking and scrubbing, well, there’s a strong likelihood I might not make it or try to find another way to prepare it where it doesn’t get so *ahem* messy (hello ham in the slow cooker!). I also am one of those that tends to use a few extra dishes than what might be normally necessary which means more dishes and more mess. Clearly, I need to streamline.

One of my absolute favorite comfort go-to recipes is baked pasta. When I started on my culinary journey years ago, I can recall quite a few dish fails but baked pasta was one of those that I knew I could prep for a small group or a crowd and everyone would love. Granted, the way I started making it was essentially dumping pasta, sauce with a bit of ground hamburger and a couple spices, cover it with cheese and bake in a disposable tin (see – I hate the cleanup!) like one of my friends taught me to do. As I would make it often, eventually I graduated to using my Le Creuset enamel baking dishes and, while they were okay with the cleanup, I still had to soak those baking dishes for a spell….

Secret Recipe Club: Roasted Potatoes, Chicken Sausage and Peppers

August 5, 2013 By Aly 23 Comments

It’s the first Monday of August and you know what that means – it’s time for the Secret Recipe Club Reveal!

For those that aren’t familiar with the Secret Recipe Club – it’s a group of fabulous bloggers that are assigned a blog that they must keep on the hush. Over that month, they peruse the blog, gain some culinary inspiration and make one dish from their assigned blog and highlight it. I look forward to getting my assignment every month and this month was a fun one!

This month’s top secret assignment was Ilona’s Kitchen. I’ve been reading Ilona’s Kitchen for quite some time and I love her “tell it like it is” attitude. She is a true Jersey gal – and for this Philly gal, it’s like talking to some of my fave people! She’s always got great recipes and if the recipes aren’t “it” – she’ll tell you and what she’d like to do to improve it. She’s said a few times that she’s not a fan of chicken sausage but when I saw some roasted garlic chicken sausage at Trader Joe’s, I knew that I had to make her Roasted Potatoes, Chicken Sausage and Peppers. Some other recipes that caught my eye were her Overnight Bananas Foster French Toast, Banana Biscoff White Chocolate Chip Blondies, and Citrus Chili Chicken….
