Back in the days when I was learning how to cook, and Dave and I were first starting out on her own and seemingly playing house in our shoddily constructed condo in the middle of nowhere, I discovered that it can be exhausting to face cooking dinner every night when you are just really learning how (not to mention working a full time big-girl job!)

Honestly, I’ve been writing this blog for three years now, and would consider myself something of a “expert” when it comes to family cooking- but I still find it exhausting to cook every single night.

Dave and I started eating Bertolli® frozen meals all the way back in 2007. I wouldget home late from work, he would be at home studying for med school. I’d open up one of these bags, throw it in my cheap nonstick skillet on my crappy stove and in like 15 minutes or less, Dave and I would be sitting down together eating something that tasted like it had taken a lot longer and created a lot more dishes in the kitchen.

Even though now cooking comes with easeand making a meal out of whatever happens to be in the house when I’m tired is a forte, I still find myselfpulling these tried-and-true workhorses out from time to time, and each time, I smile to myself thinking of those two young people, crazy in love, living in their crappy condo and just not caring because they were together.

I tend to make something to go with it that’s fresh, whether it’s a side dish, salad, or garlic bread, etc.This time I decided to do a different type of stuffed mushrooms than I’ve done before. I really love mushrooms in general, but stuffed mushrooms I can always get behind.

They’re incredibly versatile – just check out my lobster stuffed mushrooms and my vegetarian breadcrumb stuffed mushrooms. But they can usually be prepared and assembled ahead of time, then just thrown in the oven. These Sausage Stuffed Mushrooms arejust a few basic ingredients together in a bowl and then mounted and some large portobello mushroom caps. Baked in a bath of tomatosauce and topped with cheese and a drizzle of balsamic vinegar, these are a quick and elegant way to round out your meal.

I bought the family-sized Chicken Florentine & Farfalle (one of our favorites) at Kroger. The “Meals for Two” Bertolli Frozen Meals will be their lowest price all year during the month of February.
