Baked Polenta with Meat Sauce

February 18, 2024 by The Runaway Spoon Leave a Comment

Now is the time of year for comfort. Chilly and grey outside, short days waiting for spring. I love to cozy up on the couch to read good books and stream TV series. Generally nesting at home. So a hearty, warming, comforting dish is perfect. This recipe is not difficult, but it does take a little time and patience. It is the kind of meal I find almost meditative to create. … [Read more...] about Baked Polenta with Meat Sauce

An easy weeknight treat is a great recipe to have on hand. I love this version of a a classic pizza casserole, updated my way with no jarred sauces or chemical laden boxed mixes.  This is a real family pleaser, better than greasy delivery and easier than making or rolling out dough.  A mix of beef and Italian sausage with fun bites of pepperoni up the pizza factor. If your … [Read more...] about Upside Down Pizza Pie Bake

Creamy Italian Sausage and Pumpkin Manicotti

October 21, 2012 by The Runaway Spoon 3 Comments

As I remember it, trick or treating is hard work.  Lots of walking, in what is invariably an uncomfortable costume, that heavy bag of candy and keeping your best manners on under all that stress.  But the promise of a seemingly endless supply of fun-size candy bars made it all worthwhile.  I even liked the stripey, crunchy peanut butter Mary Janes and the peanut … [Read more...] about Creamy Italian Sausage and Pumpkin Manicotti

I'm P.C. I think I am like most people. Somewhere in the middle between food snob and food schlub. Just being in the kitchen makes me happy. I live, mostly in my kitchen, in my hometown of Memphis, Tennessee.
