Baked Ziti
I love today’s recipe… partially because the kids love it, partially because it’s so yummy… but mostly because I never have to make it. This is my husband’s signature dish. Yep he makes dinner. Actually he makes most of the meals in our house. I wish I could say it’s because I get home from work so much later than he does (which I do)…. but the truth is I think he likes to cook more than I do. I like to experiment and make new dishes… but once I’ve made them I’m onto the next thing.
Oh and in case I haven’t sold you on this dish already with the photo and telling you how yummy it is.. another great thing about it is —-> you just dump everything into a pan and cook it… LOVE THAT!
