Last week was really tough, and I feel like I am still recovering. Work has been crazy busy, and I just can’t seem to dig myself out of this hole. I have planned a pretty easy week for my 8th and 9th graders so hopefully I can catch up. It is quite rare that I talk about food having the ability to change my mood for the better. Generally, I just feel guilty about eating something (or too much of something). This dish just maybe a different story…
I am a sucker for baked pasta with cheese (especially when there is a golden brown crust of delicious cheese)! Southern California is not known for its Italian cuisine so I have to make do with whatever I can whip up at home. I really love Ellie Krieger’s Four Cheese Baked Penne recipe. It is amazing! The combo of cheeses is really yummy, and this recipe serves many. My husband and I have eaten it for dinner, lunch, dinner (again), and there are still leftovers. I am telling you that this recipe will cheer you up right away!

I am also a sucker for anything cheesy, with golden, crispy, baked edges. I think I’ll have to try that recipe out on my family – it looks fantastic!
