We love Italian Food. In fact every time Joe’s family comes to visit we must go out to eat Italian at least once. Other times, I usually cook something Italian for dinner at least weekly. One of our family’s favorite dishes is baked Ziti. It’s so simple to make yet so delicious. I also love that you can make a big batch, freeze it and then enjoy it later.
My Baked Ziti Recipe It’s so simple you probably don’t even need to read the recipe. But what really makes it awesome is the use of a Vodka Sauce. It’s basically my all time favorite kind of pasta sauce.
Ingredients:
1 Box Ziti
1lb Ground Beef
1 Jar Vodka Sauce
2 cups Bread Crumbs
1 bag Shredded Mozzerella
A Few Dabs of Butter
Directions
Preheat Oven to 350 degrees
Cook Pasta according to directions on the box and drain
Brown Ground Beef
Combine Browned Ground Beef, Cooked Pasta and Sauce in a baking dish
Top with Breadcrumbs and Mozzerella
Spread a few dabs of butter on the top
Bake in Oven for 25 minutes (or until cheese is melted and brown
I typically make two small batches so I can freeze one and we can eat the other for dinner. However, if you have a bigger family than mine you’ll probably eat the whole thing. Also, it makes for a great lunch to day after.
In addition to making a great, quick and easy dinner I like to make my Baked Ziti to give to families that have just had a baby or are going through a rough time. I usually pair it with a salad and some garlic bread… oh and some sweet tea! It’s the ultimate comfort food.

We’ve decided to do another Whole30 Challenge in August. We had such great success with our Whole30 Challenge in January that I’d like to do it again. Since our 1st challenge we have adjusted the way we eat and even though we don’t eat entirely Paleo we do eat “real food”. On the occasions that…
I don’t claim to be a great cook. I do often experiment and try new things, most often they don’t turn out so great. But occasionally I’ll get lucky and create sometime delicious. The other day Harris Teeter had a bag of 4 Red Peppers marked down on clearance, $2 total! They like to mark…
My boys love fruit. When the box of Lil Snappers fruit arrived I unpacked the contents and left it on the kitchen table. Soon after the boys discovered the haul of fruit they devoured 2 mandarin oranges and an apple, each! I had to move the fruit to higher ground so they wouldn’t spoil their…
My family loves pumpkin muffins and we used to make these cake mix pumpkin muffins but this recipe uses almond flour which makes them gluten-free and paleo-friendly. They are melt-in-your-mouth moist and have a touch of sweetness. These muffins are perfect for breakfast or a snack as they aren’t overly sweet. Ingredients and Substituions ALMOND…
Day 2 went a little more according to plan than Day 1. Breakfast was a banana and some water because I totally forgot that Jude went back to school and we were rushing around first thing. However, I did manage to make my Paleo Pumpkin Muffins later that morning. So I guess you could say…
