Margherita Penne Pasta made with fresh tomatoes, basil, and a cheesy milk based sauce is an easy recipe the whole family will love! I like how I can have this on the table in under 30 minutes! Many times the simplest recipes taste the best!

Loaded with good-for-you stuff, my favorite Green Smoothie recipe combines peanut butter and banana with yogurt, milk, & spinach for a power packed breakfast or super-charged snack. Adults and kids will love the peanut butter and banana flavor combo, and it only takes a few minutes to whip up this easy recipe in a blender! Easy, refreshing, and satisfying too! You can't beat that!

Yogurt Parfait Pancakes make a scrumptious breakfast that fills us up deliciously and keeps us going all morning long. Don and I love perfectly cooked pancakes that are fluffy on the inside and slightly crispy on the outside. Instead of drenching these pancakes in syrup, I topped them with a delicious blend of yogurt and multi-grain granola with real fruit and crunchy nuts. Crunchy. Cool. Yum!!

Chicken Pot Pie

Chicken Pot Pie - Good ole comfort food! This is definitely a family favorite, but we had to eat a lot of bad Chicken Pot Pie to get to this recipe!

I made the tried and true recipe on the biscuit mix box, and that was fine for years...until we branched out and tried Ms Paula Deen's recipe I saw on TV. 

There was no going back after that! Ms Deen's recipe is rich and delicious for sure, but it was almost too rich for me. Is it possible for chicken pot pie to be too rich? Apparently I think so, but what do I know? I'm also not a huge fan of a pastry or pie crust topping. What can I say there is clearly something wrong with me, but I just love a biscuit topping! Nothing beats a homemade biscuit topping!

After lots of experimenting and tweaking, the Myers family feels this is the best darn Chicken Pot Pie we've ever eaten. What sets this recipe apart is the Roasted Chicken. It really adds that extra dash of deliciousness! I encourage you to adjust the seasonings to your liking. This recipe is very adaptable and oh soooo comforting.
