Hey Alicia here back with another family recipe to share. This year my family and I have been picking one country from our heritage each month and making food from that country. It has been really fun! This month though we're just picking recipes we make often at home. Last week I shared mushroom risotto.
Today I have a recipe I got from my mom. It is something she used to make us growing up. I don't really know what it's called so I just call it by the main ingredients and how you cook it: Sausage and Pasta Skillet Dinner. Maybe one day I will find a better name for it. Sausage and Pasta Skillet Dinner
This easy recipe is a instant hit every time I make it. My 3 year old says "Thanks Mom this is delicious!" My husband can't stop telling me how good it is and finishes off the pan. Even my 1 year old clears her plate. It is really good, but also easy and fast! Perfect for those busy nights when you have a lot going on but don't want to give up family dinner time.
I usually use penne pasta but if that's not on hand I just use whatever pasta I have available. The amount of pasta isn't hard and fast. I never measure that either and was just estimating the amount of pasta I was making. Just make enough pasta for 4 people and that's a good amount for this recipe. I also never measure the amount of spices I'm putting it. Usually, I just give a few good shakes over the top of basil and oregano each and it comes out great. And I've used fresh and canned tomatoes and it comes out great either way. Top it with some parmesan when it comes out and it's the perfect week night dinner.

Hello! Alicia here with a recipe my family loves! I'm taking October to share recipes we make often in our little family. So no specific country this month, just family recipes that keep us coming back for more!
Today's recipe is one that everyone clears their plate without having to be told to take a bite. My three year old is one of those kids that will take two bites and say he's done. He just loves to play. But this meal he actually asks for more and eats more! It's easy and delicious and you can easily make it vegetarian or vegan. Mushroom "Risotto"
I put risotto in quotes because I'm not sure how authentic this risotto is. But it's super delicious. I adapted this recipe from a cookbook I bought in college: $7 a Meal Healthy Cookbook. The prices may be a bit more now (inflation) but the recipes are still delicious. I have changed the recipe a bit to suit what I have on hand at the time. I've used all different kind of mushrooms, onions, and cheese. The original recipe calls for vegetable broth, but I use chicken. And instead of wine I use a splash of white wine vinegar and water.
One thing I don't like to skip (though it is still good without it) is the squeeze of lemon juice at the end. It just adds a brightness that really amps up the flavor. Another thing is I have only made this with white cheese, usually Parmesan. I can't see mushrooms going well with a cheddar flavor but you can try it. 
It's hard to get a picture of it that really tells you how good it is but trust me, this comes out so creamy and delicious. You have got to try it. When a 3 yr old boy is asking for seconds you know it's great. And because you can substitute in lots of things, it won't break your budget!

Alicia and her family are busy at her husband's family reunion in Florida visiting Disney World. She tells me that today she is going to the Epcot Center where she will discover new dishes to make for her International series.
In the meantime, I have been working a lot on our Pie e-book that is soon to come out! Well, as luck would have it, I had a bit of an Oreo Cookie crust leftover in the bottom of a pie tin. I thought, I should share a nice Fall flavored cheesecake with our readers! This fluffy, easy to make and absolutely delicious No Bake Pumpkin Chocolate Cheesecake is what I decided to share! 
My crust. It only was on the bottom of the pan. You can make a whole crust up the sides if you want. This was just from my leftovers. I had been experimenting, you know how I am.
At first, I wasn't sure if the chocolate and the pumpkin would go well together. So, I went to our family pumpkin expert, Lindsey. When I asked, she looked at me incredulously and asked, "Mom! Haven't you ever had Pumpkin Chocolate Chip Cookies?" She listed a few other things that I am not sure I have ever eaten, but she won me over and I gave it a try. She was right! It came out so good! So, give it a try! It seems fancy, but it is easy and quick!
You can use Hot Fudge Sauce that you purchase, but I used my homemade Best Fudge Sauce Ever. I recently edited the recipe by the way because the recipe had said "t" at one point when it should have said "T"! Sorry for that error.
The hard part about this cheesecake is waiting for it to set enough to cut and serve it! It is the nicest dessert as we enter fall when the weather here is still warm but just beginning to turn! I hope you enjoy it!
