Mississippi Pot Roast
We are in the thick of spring sports with both kids going different directions every night, which means this mama needs some quick, easy, and delicious recipes that can be thrown together earlier in the day and everyone can eat when they need to. I made this amazing roast again this past week, and ironically Sam Sifton from NYT posted about his riff on it today too! My recipe is close to the original with packaged mixes, and his is…fancier. I will definitely have to try it at some point, but for now, a recipe that takes less than 5 minutes to assemble is saving the day! The OG recipe calls for 5 whole pepperoncinis, but we like a little kick. I prefer to add the rings vs. whole peppers so you get more pepper in each bite.

Crock Pot Italian Chicken Pasta
Anyone have a picky eater in their house? I refer to my daughter as a carbatarian…she lives on white carbs and fruit. I can get her to eat chicken nuggets, but that is about all she likes when it comes to meat. But this pasta dish is one she will gobble down without complaint, which means it has gone into high rotation in our house! Doesn’t look super appetizing in the photos, but it tastes delicious and is creamy like Alfredo, but feels healthier. BONUS – takes 5 minutes to throw in the crockpot midday and you have an awesome dinner after you boil water and cook the pasta of your choice.
