Sausage Carbonara

Try this Sausage Carbonara when you don't have bacon. Carbonara is an Italian pasta dish from Rome, based on eggs, cheese (Pecorino Romano or Parmigiano-Reggiano), bacon or pancetta, and black pepper. This recipe uses sausage instead of bacon. Spaghetti is usually used as the pasta, however, fettuccine, rigatoni, or bucatini can also be used. You can also throw in some frozen peas.

Refrigerator Pickles

Refrigerator Pickles

I made these amazing Refrigerator Pickles. I had never made pickles before. My family was very dubious, until they tasted them 6 hours later. They are completely hooked. They were scarfing them down at 11:30 at night in their PJs. It was so successful, that I went out and bought more vinegar to make more. I want to try to make green beans, carrots, asparagus and snap peas!

Bacony Twice Baked Potato Casserole

Usually, twice baked potatoes are baked and then you scoop out the interior, leaving the skin as a shell. This mixture is then spooned back into the skin shells and they are replaced in the oven to warm through. This version is an easier casserole to feed a crowd. It's great for potlucks and can be made in advance.
