Growing up my mom stayed home with us. Well not only did she stay home with us she also homeschooled all of us kids. We all ended up in public school once we moved to Georgia by our choice to try that out, but I didn’t until 11th grade. I can’t imagine the patience it took for my mom to be schooling three of us at a time. Not only did she homeschool us, but she also had a home cooked meal for us most every night.

My mom is a great cook. She has so many delicious family recipes she would make for us growing up. When I was home the other week, we were going through a list of our favorite recipes we’d made to make menu planning easier for her when we were younger. Also while I was home she made one of my favorite recipes, Stuffed Shells. Italian food has always been a favorite of mine and pasta was a staple in our house growing up. So I decided to pick up some Ragu and make the stuffed shells myself the other week.
