Hey y'all...hope you're having a great weekend. The temps in Florida have been cool-ish and I'm loving it. I love this time of year...especially in the stores. I'm one of "those" that love sseing all the Holiday decor out early. I guess it's the designer in me. It's funny to admit but every year I tell myself that I don't need anything else then I see the cute decor and of course need it. I look at it this way....I"m mult-task cleaning. I take down decor...heavy clean...add decorate for the next Holiday. Win...win! Along with decorating I love to bake. The smell of fall spices is wonderful and calms me. I even have a cinnamon scented candle that I use all year in my sewing room. Well, todays recipe is super easy and a great to feed a crowd. I make more casserole's during the warm months but will admit it's a new fav for all year. I use a Italian Panco Bread crumbs for the topping that honeslty brings this simple recipe to the next level. I forgot that step recently and it made a huge difference. The pasta shells are the jumbo size so I basically estimate 4 per person but cook a few extra in case they tear. Well...this is the time of year when weather is changing and sometimes it's hard to plan for comfort family dinner. This will definately take you too eating out..just serve with a side salad and some breadsticks :-) I thank y'all so much for following and check back soon for more fall fav's. Enjoy!
Blessed Cooking from My Home to Yours,
