Super easy Beefaroni!!

Tonight I wanted to make spaghetti but didn't have any spaghetti noodles. I had some left over macaroni noodles and a bag of Kraft home style macaroni.  I decided to make the Kraft macaroni and put the pasta sauce and beef on top.  Super easy and only 3 ingredients.  See below for the recipe.

1 bag Kraft home style macaroni (I went with the classic)
1 lb ground beef browned
1 jar pasta sauce (I used Ragu 6 cheese 24 oz)

Cook the noodles by the directions on the bag.  Add the cheese sauce and seasoning pack.  (I tossed the bread crumbs that come with the mix in the trash).  Mix in the pasta sauce and beef.  That's it!! 

I was so happy I played around in the kitchen today with what I had in my pantry. It's a quick and easy meal that I plan to continue making.

Below I found this recipe on sparkrecipes.com for Olive oil and Parmesan Pasta. I followed the recipe below but since I am adding meat to this dish I browned the kielbasa while the pasta was cooking. I also added some extra spices (i.e. garlic powder, pepper and salt). I also noticed the pasta was a little dry so I threw in a splash of 2% milk to make it a little creamer. I also think that next time I make this I will sauté an onion. 1 lb pasta 3 cloves garlic, sliced 1/2 cup parmesan cheese, grated 0.25 cup olive oil 1 tbsp butter Heat olive oil over medium heat. Add garlic and saute. Cook pasta, return to pan in which it was cooked. Add butter a...

Planning birthday party

So coming up in 2 weeks, we will be having a joint birthday party for my girls who are turning 3 and 1.  My oldest daughter wants a Yo Gabba Gabba birthday party.  I immediately went to Pinterest for ideas. There are so many cute ideas on there for recreating the monsters in fun party foods.  I found a 2 tier cake the has a candy theme. I plan to work off of this theme and make a candy bar for favors.  I am also going to make pretzel characters and a vegetable tray that looks like one of the monsters.
