Fettuccine Bolognese

If you live in Australia, you know Coles.  And you may have seen a commercial on TV where chef Curtis Stone takes a woman and her daughter shopping for ingredients for his fettuccine bolognese recipe.  The cost of the ingredients for the recipe is supposed to be under $10. I’m a Woolies girl myself, and I’m [...]

Orange Pasta

We all try to feed our children healthy foods, but I’m pretty sure that most moms would have to admit that just sometimes we let the sweets get a little out of control.  We keep a lot of fresh fruits and vegetables in the kitchen and luckily my 4-year-old daughter loves fresh, raw fruits and [...]

Sausage & Penne Casserole

I’m a big fan of baked pastas, so when I saw this recipe in my Taste of Home magazine (the June & July 2009 issue) I couldn’t pass it up.  I’m so glad I decided to make this, it turned out really well and gave us three nights of dinners. I did have to make [...]

Snow Pea And Tofu Stir Fry

Believe it or not, my husband and I used to be vegetarians.  I had a nice cookbook published by Australian Women’s Weekly called Great Vegetarian Food that I used quite often while living in Sydney.  Right now that book is in storage in Sydney and we’re no longer vegetarian! One of the stand-out recipes for [...]

Spaghetti With Mushrooms And Garlic

This is one of my all-time favorite ways to enjoy spaghetti.  My husband originally found this recipe while looking for truffle recipes.  That original recipe used olive oil, garlic, parsley, basil and truffles tossed with spaghetti.  But since truffles aren’t readily available and are quite expensive, the truffles can easily be substituted with another mushroom. [...]

Pizza With Mozzarella, Mushrooms & Spinach

I really like making my own pizzas because I can add as much or as little of any ingredient that I like.  I really like mushrooms and cheese, so you’ll see a lot of those on any pizza that I make! I used a store-bought refrigerated pizza dough as the base for this pizza, and [...]

Gingered Beef Stir-Fry

Over the weekend I received my first issue of Taste of Home magazine – the April/May 2009 issue.  The first recipe I decided to try from this issue is the gingered beef stir-fry.  I really love stir-fry dishes, especially if they include ginger.  I’ve only recently became a fan of asparagus, so I was excited [...]

Healthy Eating & Morel Mushrooms

My mom is staying a few days with me this week and is doing some cooking for me.  That’s great because I’m not the best cook; I much prefer to bake!  I just wanted to share the meal she made for me last night, and later in the post I’d like to share a photo [...]

Chili Spaghetti

For years, the only way I knew how to eat spaghetti was with a tomato-based sauce.  Spaghetti is one of my favorite foods, and when I realized that it didn’t have to have that tomato-based sauce, I was ready to branch out and try new things with my spaghetti. I haven’t made this recipe for [...]

Spaghetti & Meatballs

dscn5890

This isn’t the most exciting recipe you’ll find here at The Sweetest Kitchen, but I do like to blog about the yummy stuff I’ve made in the kitchen.  Spaghetti is just one of my many favorite dinners, but I usually just cook spaghetti and throw a jarred sauce onto it, sometimes with grated parmesan cheese.
