Pretzel Topped Tuna Casserole

It's week three of vintage month and it's about time I made a casserole. Tuna Casserole has alway been a weird dish, I mean hot tuna? You could not have made me eat this when I was younger, but the first time I tried tuna casserole I was shocked at how good it was! For a dish that has been reduced to pre-made mixes in the grocery store, tuna casserole can impress when made from scratch. It's surprisingly easy to make! I used pretzels to top mine because I always have to be a little different. Go ahead and make this easy to prepare meal, it's sort of healthy!

Meatloaf Pie

We're back! And what's the sexiest dish to make for our return? Let's say it together, Meatloaf Pie! Our short little hiatus was nice; I was able to recharge my creative batteries and I even learned the true meaning of Presidents Day. Anyway, what's better than meat? (I'm not asking you, vegans). That's right, meat wrapped in dough! Let's dig in.

Homemade Butternut Squash Pasta with Flambeed Chanterelles

Before we get into this week's post I want to make a quick shout out to our sponsor, Braised Food & Drink Digital Marketing. Braised takes the time to grow your food or beverage company's online presence.

Making homemade pasta has always seemed like a daunting task to me. On par with making your own clothes, it seemed like something that was best left to professionals. But after making my own pasta for the first time I realized it is just as easy, nay easier than making your own clothes. All it takes is a little hard work and the fact that the pasta will be better than anything you can buy out of a box. I'll be right back you guys, this burlap bag - I mean shirt, is itchy. I need to change. 

Yes, those are carrots and not some weird Brazilian root. I found them at the Portland Saturday Farmer's market. Check it out sometime. The sage was foraged, and I would just like to thank my neighbors for not having a fence in their front yard and for never being home. Those chanterelles were also locally sourced, and I would just like to thank my roommate for never cleaning his room.
