Hi and welcome to this week’s Foodie Friends Friday Linky Party! This week we are looking for your favorite childhood recipes. Share those dishes that spark great memories or remakes of ones your family ate to be “polite”. đ
We also added a new feature this week that I’m excited about! You can now share a social media link with the party and we can all connect!
But before we start, let’s congratulate last week’s winners!
HOST’S FAVORITES.
Â
I received coupons for free RagĂș Classic Alfredo sauce to develop a #NewTraDish recipe. I received no monetary compensation for my post. Opinions are my own.
I love creamed soups but I don’t always have all the ingredients handy. Cream of Potato is one of my favorites. I often add a little bacon because I like the smoky flavor.
So when RagĂșÂ offered me the chance to turn their Classic Fettuccine Carbonara into a #NewTraDish I jumped at the chance.
Their basic recipe includes RagĂș Classic Alfredo, fettuccine, turkey bacon and peas. Delicious!
This combination of ingredients would also make a creamy, satisfying potato soup. RagĂș Classic Alfredo is made with cream and cheese which is the perfectly seasoned base for soup. I added potatoes, carrots and just enough skim milk to thin the soup without losing that great taste.
Add some cooked fettuccine, frozen green peas and crumbled turkey bacon for a RagĂș #NewTraDish twist on a great Fettuccine Carbonara recipe.
Quick and easy!
Precooking the noodles and turkey bacon are great time savers.

This recipe is a repeat that I want to share today for #MushroomMakeover.
These little mushrooms are a great party addition or a feature on Appetizers Night! What’s Appetizer Night, you ask? Its the occasional night I don’t feel like a big meal, I get unexpected company for dinner, I feel “peckish” or just in that mood!
This is an old throw-together so I don’t have step by step pictures. So easy, we really don’t need them anyway, do we?
A great way to use leftover chicken!
1/2 lb Portabella mushrooms, baby, gills removed
1 cup chicken breast, cooked
1/2 cup Mozzarella Cheese, shredded
1 Tbsp scallions, thinly sliced, divided
1 Tbsp pepper, roasted red diced
1 teaspoon basil, fresh, finely chopped
Salt and pepper, to taste
1. Mix chicken, peppers, 1/2 tablespoon scallions and seasoning together.
2. Loosely fill mushrooms, sprinkle with mozzarella. Add a pinch of scallion for garnish.
3. Broil for about 5 minutes or, depending on the size, until mushrooms are thoroughly cooked and cheese is melted.
Coffee. I admit it is one of my passions. I believe good friends deserve great coffee!
So when House Party teamed with Lavazza to offer their coffee to sample, I applied to host a party. I’m so glad I did!
Lavazza brings the passion of Italian coffee to America with a taste for everyone from classic coffee to rich, dark espresso.
They sent me 4 varieties to offer my guests.
GRAN AROMA
Smooth and aromatic
Gran Aroma is a balanced, highly aromatic blend of premium 100% Arabica beans with a floral aroma and citrusy flavor profile.
CLASSICO
Rich and full-bodied
Classicoâs balance roast time produces its signature intense aroma of dried fruits along with its rich and full-bodied flavor.
GRAN SELEZIONE
Intense and chocolaty
Gran Selezione comes exclusively from Rainforest Alliance Certifiedâą coffee farms. It is a premium Arabica coffee blend with intense flavor, chocolate undertones, and a full-bodied taste.
PERFETTO
Dark and velvety
Made from 100% carefully selected Arabica beans, Perfetto is bold with lingering caramel notes. It is roasted a bit longer to produce a âperfectâ and characteristically Italian dark flavor profile.
I invited several friends, borrowed some coffee makers baked some goodies!
Enjoy a cup. You deserve it!
