Three Cheese Baked Ziti

Posted by on Apr 25, 2019 in blog, blogs | Comments Off on Three Cheese Baked Ziti

When it comes to classic pasta dishes, baked ziti is up there right next to spaghetti and meatballs in my opinion. Now the jury is out on if this is a “classic” Italian recipes or not, but no matter what, it is delicious. The best part about this particular recipe is, other than being doused in Mama Jess sauce, it is a one skillet recipe, which makes clean up a breeze. If you haven’t figured out, I’m a big fan of making recipes easy. You may recognize this “one pot pasta” technique from our Shrimp Diavolo recipe, it makes cooking and cleanup so much more simple. The other great part? This is a PERFECT meal prep recipe! Honestly,...

Well it is a Good Friday indeed because today we have for you a healthy, sweet, and yummy treat just in time for Easter!

Here’s how: For those of you who have dabbled in shortbread cookies, like I have, you know they can get a bit finicky.

Pizza Pinwheels

Posted by on Apr 10, 2019 in blog, recipes, Uncategorized | Comments Off on Pizza Pinwheels

I love making creative snacks for my family. The look on their faces  when I whip up some of our recipes like the loaded zucchini skins or our popcorn chicken nuggets is priceless! Today I incorporated our sauce into pizza pinwheels…and this recipe quickly turned into one of the most delicious ways to make pizza that I have ever had! I love how quick these are to make, so you can have them hot when the kids get off the bus. The first thing you want to do is roll out the thawed puff pastry sheet so there are no creases. From there, spoon Mama Jess Organic Garden Pasta Sauce on the pastry, creating an even layer. Then…sprinkle your toppings! I...

One Pan Sausage and Roasted Veggies

Posted by on Apr 4, 2019 in blog, blogs, Uncategorized | Comments Off on One Pan Sausage and Roasted Veggies

If you haven’t been able to tell, I have recently been really into one pan dinners. Why? Because all I have to do is chop and bake. So today, I am sharing my new favorite “Oh S*** I Need to Make Dinner” recipe: One Pan Sausage and Roasted Veggies. It’s quick to whip up, extremely easy to clean up, and so dang delicious. Something else I love about this recipe is how creative you can be with it. I love smoked polish sausage, but if you are looking for something leaner, turkey or chicken sausage will do the trick! Or something spicy: how about Italian sausage? The other great thing: make it with any in-season veggies! I can’t wait to do...
