A Life in Food by real-life Chef Cheryl Bennett
Elevate your favorite comfort food with this delicious langostino mac and cheese. Langostino recipes are big around here, I hope you love this one as much as we do.
Langostino are the perfect compliment to this macaroni and cheese dish. The saltiness of the bacon and creaminess of the pasta sauce play perfectly against the delicate, buttery seafood.
…It’s that time of year when we are all searching for our favorite Thanksgiving recipes. My personal favorite is classic bread stuffing, it isn’t anything fancy or complicated, just pure Thanksgiving comfort food.
Thanksgiving is only a few days away and if you are still trying to fill out your menu, I’m here to help. For me, the sides and dessert are the BEST part of Thanksgiving. I like turkey as much as the next person, but it can’t compete with mashed potatoes, stuffing, squash, corn casserole, etc. …
This 5 ingredient corn casserole is a staple on nearly every Thanksgiving table. And with good reason – it is easy and delicious. It’s the time of the year for Thanksgiving recipes, and this one is always at the top of the list.
Creamy, sweet corn casserole is one of the things I wait all year to eat. I have been making this for over two decades, which is why I highly recommend it. It is one of the easiest recipes you’ll ever make and it is so unbelievably good. The browned, crisp top gives way to a creamy corn pudding inside, making this a staple on the holiday table.

Breakfast for dinner is easily one of my favorite meals. This week, the Dinner Divas have put together a week’s worth of Breakfast for Dinner recipes. From sandwiches to a breakfast casserole, there is something for everyone.
How it works: Every Friday morning, a new meal plan will show up in your email. It will consist of 5 dinner options, plus 2 extras. Those two extras could be side dishes, dessert, drinks, etc. The Dinner Divas weekly menu plans will feature (mostly) healthy, seasonal foods that don’t take all day to prepare. Getting the weekly menu delivered to your inbox on Friday morning gives you the chance to make your shopping list and get organized for the week ahead. We’ve got so much good stuff this week! I’d love to hear from you & see your creations! Post a pic using #DinnerDivas and tag @pookspantry! I hope this weekly menu plan provides inspiration and makes life a little easier… one meal at a time.

A breakfast casserole is the perfect way to handle holidays. Whether it’s Mother’s Day, Christmas, Easter or even a family reunion weekend, it is the best bang for your buck. You can feed a crowd without standing in front of the stove for hours and the best part – it can be made ahead.
This last part is what seals the deal for me – getting everything prepared beforehand so you can simply slide it into the oven and go visit with your people.
Thank you to Idaho® Potatoes for sponsoring this post. As always, all opinions are my own.
I really enjoy making a great spread and sitting around the table for a couple of hours while sipping on coffee and picking on the bountiful feast in front of me. Mother’s Day is next weekend and if I were able to spend it with my Mom, this is what I’d make for her. If you would like to solidify your position as her “favorite”, make this for her and you’ll have it in the bag for good.
