I haven't been on in awhile.  I have been rather busy and haven't had the time or energy to do much typing or computing...but I have not stopped cooking.  I wanted to share this recipe that I have made off and on for a while now and it is one I got from the Pioneer Woman website.  Her recipes are hit and miss with me, but this one was a big hit. 

To like this recipe, you must like MEAT, pasta, and cheese.  If your palate fits into these categories, you should like this recipe.  Well, you should LOVE it.

I do not do much to change the recipe except for maybe the amount of cottage cheese, sour cream and shredded cheese used....that is, I add more of each of these.  I also season the meat as it is cooking and maybe a bit more when I make the sauce.

Is this healthy??  NO!!!  Does it taste GREAT!??  YOU BETCHA!!!  Do I have pictures??  Do you KNOW me??

    I LOVE TO COOK

    It amazes me how many people do not love to cook.  I love it.  There is nothing quite so exhilarating as preparing a meal and having your family loving what you have prepared.  I am often asked what I cook and for my recipes.  I love pinterest and get many of my recipes there. I will now post what's cooking here...hopefully you can be inspired, from the very easy to the more involved.
