Actually, if you are like me, then you must like to cook fast and easy things. The best is if you can find a great, easy recipe that can feed a whole bunch of people at once without breaking the bank.
I recently made this when I had a friend over with her kids. The kids actually helped me make it and it came out delicious! It is so easy and so yummy!

By the way, I got a version of this recipe (and most of my other recipes) from http://www.allrecipes.com/. Donna, I think you told me about this site -thank you! You can save your favorites in your very own online recipe box. I love it!
Happy cooking!

That sounds really yummy, Maria! And I LOVE allrecipes.com...it's a great resource when I don't feel like sifting through all my cookbooks for a recipe to use with a specific ingredient. If I need a recipe that includes lentils, I can just type in "lentils" and view the top-rated ones. Regular home cooks rate these recipes for ease of cooking and results. It's great!
Thanks for sharing your ziti recipe. I'll have to try that one!
Mmm. Sounds delicious!
Ok, Maria, the first line of this cracked me up! The ziti sounds delicious! I'll have to try it.
I am always looking for fast and easy recipes! Thanks! This one sounds yummy! I will definitely try it!
I do miss the days when I would stop by your house and you would give me all your yummy leftovers!
I don't think they would taste as good shipped through the mail!
I made this last night for our family Valentine's "date!" Delicious!
