While everyone is concerned about swine flu H1N1, it seems another disease is spreading rapidly this fall. It’s spreading like wildfire from blog to blog. That’s right, I’m talking about cook’s block or food blogger’s block.

Cheesy Baked Penne
Friday Favorites – Episode 26
I’m getting a late start on my Friday Favorites this week! Usually I try to pick my favorites and write my blog post on Thursday evening. I’m not a last-minute person! I was always the obnoxious kid in school who started researching a term paper the day it was assigned and had it written with a [...]
Friday Favorites – Episode 2
It’s hard to believe it’s Friday already! I haven’t had a lot of time this week to post to my blog. I’ve been in Boston and haven’t really had time to write or to cook. I’ll be posting more about my trip next week. In the meantime, here are a few blog posts from the past week [...]

This week, I decided to make penne pasta with asparagus and italian sausage. To ensure that it would [...]
Turkey Meatloaf
Meatloaf is another one of my favorite foods. This meatloaf recipe is a bit lighter than most because it is made with ground turkey instead of beef, pork, or veal.
If you are short on time, you can mix up the meatloaf the night before and store the mixture in the refrigerator. Pair this with a [...]
Quick Turkey Avocado Paninis
It is a stretch to call this post a recipe… sandwich assembly directions would be more appropriate. Either way, it’s a quick idea for lunch or dinner when you don’t have a lot of time! I love the buttery flavor of the avocado in this sandwich, so I didn’t feel that it needed any condiments. If [...]

Ingredients
