The Key to Rich Flavor in  Zucchini Lasagna

Our goal: make it healthier without sacrificing flavor.

What Meat to Use in Lasagna

The sauce is key. We tested everything from ground beef to sausage, but our favorite was our signature burger blend—60% chuck, 40% brisket. That rich, hearty flavor even held up without meat for a great vegetarian option.

Ricotta VS Cottage Cheese in Lasagna

Then came the cheese. Mozzarella was a given, but we debated ricotta cheese vs. cottage cheese. Shockingly, cottage cheese won! It’s high in protein, and it made the layers creamy and light

I’ve found that when we get invited to a summer potluck, BBQ or picnic I struggle to figure out the perfect summer dessert to bring. I want something light and comforting, but it must scream summer too. That to me is always strawberry shortcake, but let’s be honest, individual desserts are kind of a hassle to drag out to a park or friend’s backyard. That’s where my favorite strawberry shortcake cake comes in!!!

It’s a simple, extra moist white cake that uses a doctored up cake mix, a dreamy, creamy whipped cream and cream cheese frosting and a fresh strawberry sauce on top. 

Bonus! This cake is best made a whole day ahead! 

Ingredients for Strawberry Shortcake Cake

• For the Cake: White Cake Mix, Jello Instant Vanilla Pudding Mix, Sour Cream, Canola Oil, Eggs, Milk and Vanilla Extract
  • PRO TIP: Use just the pudding powder for the recipe! Don’t make the actual pudding. Also…don’t use French vanilla pudding mix or your cake will turn out yellow.
• For the Strawberry Topping: Water, Strawberry Junket and Strawberries
  • PRO TIP: You can find strawberry junket by the Jello. It is a packet for making a strawberry glaze. You can also just buy strawberry glaze or skip the glaze altogether and just macerate the strawberries in some sugar. They will be a little less saucy but still heavenly!
• For the Frosting: Heavy Cream, Powdered Sugar and Cream Cheese

Why Shape of Pasta Should I Use?

I tested many different pasta shapes expecting macaroni to be the winner. I wanted something that would fit well with the shape of the egg as well as trap the dressing. Finally, I landed on ditalini because it’s the perfect size to match the chopped eggs and those little tubes hold onto the dressing so perfectly! Mini shells or orecchiette would also work great!

Peach season is one of my favorites! A fresh juicy peach just does my heart happy! Fresh peaches are one of the best parts about a cobbler in my opinion. What is your favorite part about a cobbler? It’s funny because in a fruit pie, I’m all about the crust, but in a cobbler, I just love the fruit!

I grew up on a very simple cake mix peach cobbler which was almost always made in a dutch oven while camping. But this old fashioned Southern peach cobbler might just beat it out for the best peach cobbler recipe.

Making This Recipe

First thing first, this recipe is one that my sweet brother in law, Jake taught Cade years ago and Cade actually had to beg me to try. If you’ve been reading this blog for a while you may have noticed that there aren’t really any spicy recipes on here. Yup, I’m a wimp. I don’t enjoy spicy. If it has great flavor I can kind of understand but I still don’t enjoy it. Well, Cade and I had just had our first baby and within a week we were on our way to California to do summer sales.

It was horrible and such a long drive. And don’t worry, we had to take both our cars so I drove one and my sweet husband drove the other. For anyone that has just had a baby, just think about driving from Utah to San Diego with a newborn you were trying to nurse for the first time ever, not to mention one you had just given birth to. Yup!

Anyway, that’s where Cade had to beg me to try these cheesy stuffed peppers which he promised would not be spicy. In fact, they are really yummy and we all know that queso fresco cheese is my favorite. The biggest thing to remember is that the seeds hold the spice which means you want to pull them out but also it can burn your fingers so use plastic gloves or be careful and use a paring knife to get them out. But truly, if I love them, you for sure will. And they are so easy for summer grilling which is awesome.
