Carbonara PastaThis is a fast and easy recipe, that looks fancy. It makes for an elegant meal to share as a date night in (if you both don't mind a lot of garlic). The red pepper flake gives it a nice kick. The recipe calls for pancetta, but you can just as easily use chopped bacon.
Crockpot Spinach Artichoke ChickenI had promised friends I would make them Spinach Artichoke Chicken for dinner last Wednesday; but on Wednesday afternoon I discovered that I had lost track of the recipe.

Spinach Pasta NoodlesSpinach pasta is a very tasty type of homemade pasta and a great way to sneak some vegetables in the kids. It's great with spaghetti sauce, cream based sauces like Alfredo sauce, pesto sauces, or our favorite, homemade shrimp scampi!
Caramel Apple Jello ShotsThis is a great treat for a Halloween party or other fall gathering. The hollowed out apples have a nice tart note and the caramel vodka chocolate jello is very tasty. The presentation is really fun and sure to get attention at a party - and no wasteful plastic containers to deal with!
