This month we are saying farewell to the lazy days of summer and welcoming the hustle and bustle of the fall season. With school in session and fall activities beginning I know I have been thinking about how my cooking will need to change a bit with the busier season. When life gets busy, I result to crockpot meals and casseroles, which helps simplify dinnertime at my house. Conebella cheeses pair nicely with many of my favorite recipes such as in enchiladas, mixed in with meatloaf, on top of salads or with bread crumbs on baked chicken. Below is just one of my favorite recipes I’ve spiced up now using Conebella cheese.
