- Tuscan Gnocchi – Great dish, happens to be vegetarian. Totally easy to throw together and warm up your soul. You can used canned cherry tomatoes, frozen stock, and frozen spinach that makes this dish’s ingredients pretty shelf stable and a great last minute choice.
- Creamy Pasta Bake – Just found this lovely dish that is a change from the typical tomato based pasta bakes. Can be thrown together from common ingredients that are already in most kitchens.
- Ham Casserole Awesomeness – Great dish to use up extra ham that may be created this holiday season. But just because you are using leftovers doesn’t mean this tastes like a leftover. This is a great way to give fresh live to ham.
- Liz-agna – A great gluten free lasagna that is also low fodmap and a great one dish meal. The gluten free noodles are actually easier to work with than traditional lasagna noodles.
- Shepherd’s pie – This is a great meal to use up extra mashed potatoes or just to make when you want to get some good soul food. Also freezes really well for days when you do not want to cook.
