This is another recipe that I’ve had since high school… it has always been a big winner in our home. I’ve come a long ways since Home Ec class and I rarely measure anything anymore but it’s a good thing I’m putting these recipes online as this one is getting so worn that the ink is smudging badly. I also like using a little bit of minced garlic in mine as well. You might also like this recipe: Mama’s Secret Spaghetti Sauce.

Gorgonzola Pasta with Mushrooms
This is one of my favorite dishes however my kids are not too crazy about the gorgonzola cheese. I will either leave it out or add just a tiny bit when I make this and then sprinkle more on my plate as I love the cheese. If you can’t find the gorgonzola you can substitute it with bleu cheese.
This is really good with a salad and breadsticks. Continue reading “Gorgonzola Pasta with Mushrooms”

Crockpot Tortellini Soup
This is a fairly new recipe that we have added to our rotating menu plan. My DD17 made this one day when I was out of town and it turned out beautifully even though she didn’t add the sausage.
I believe I had seen this posted on a FB page and jotted down the ingredients on a scrap piece of paper. This just happens to be one of Mr. Awesome’s favorite dishes. I want to try it with some sliced smoked sausage as I think that will taste AMAZING! Continue reading “Crockpot Tortellini Soup”
