Pantry-Friendly Nacho Skillet Dip

Sometimes you just need to pull something together for a BBQ, potluck or having friends over to watch a game or movie. Enter this Pantry-Friendly Nacho Skillet Dip. I’m guessing many of you may already have some, if not all, of these ingredients in the house, and many of them are canned so shelf-stable and easy to keep on hand. Simple, and I mean super-simple, to pull together and stays hot for quite a while in the cast iron skillet. If you have leftover, they heat up really well in the oven as well.

Brie, Asparagus and Prosciutto Pastries

Here’s a quick little savory snack, appetizer or side dish for lunch or crunch: Brie, Asparagus and Prosciutto Pastries. They use store-bought frozen puff pastry and can be ready in just about 30-45 minutes, and can also be eaten hot or at room temperature. Pretty and have an “early summer” vibe with the asparagus. Don’t like brie? You can sub out swiss cheese too!

Mushroom Spinach + Boursin Baked Mac + Cheese

Today was just a day that I needed Mac & Cheese. And not just any Mac & Cheese, I went for this Mushroom Spinach and Boursin Baked Mac & Cheese. Hearty, garlicky, cheesy, delicious. Now I am going to fall into a food coma on the sofa in front of a hockey game. Because that is about all the effort that I have left. Ahhh, comfort food!

Peas and Pearls Pasta Salad

Yup, it’s way to hot to cook so here is a salad. 🙂 I’m calling this one Peas and Pearls Pasta Salad. Peas are self explanatory. Pearls because of the perlini mozzarella. you don’t need to use orecchiette pasta, however I think it looks cute when peas or perlini end up nestled inside them. Don’t have baby arugula? Baby spinach or even watercress would be good too.

Sourdough Stromboli
Veggie Supreme and Meat Lovers

Stromboli aren’t something that I make very often, but I should make them more. Like calzone, they are pretty versatile and you can make them with a slew of fillings. They can be eaten warm or at room temperature and I personally think that they are a great alternative to a sandwich on a picnic. I made these with a sourdough (had to feed Alice!) but you can make it with a yeast pizza dough or even a store bought dough.
