Today I am excited to be posting as a contributor for The Best Blog Recipes! I am sharing my Turkey Rotini Bake, which a great weeknight dinner recipe that kids and adults alike really enjoy.
Do your kids love pasta? Mine do, especially my youngest, who is actually a bit of a picky eater and would live on nothing but pasta, biscuits, and Life cereal if I would let him!
Pasta is so versatile and easy, and the kids love it, so it really lends itself to all kinds of quick and yummy weeknight meals. I have been making this family favorite for a few years now, and in fact it was one of the first meals I ever blogged about!
Recently, I looked at what I had written back in early 2013 to refresh my memory on the recipe, and as the page loaded to my screen, I practically fell off my chair I was laughing so hard! WOW, what a difference a year makes! So I decided that I needed to do a complete overhaul and get that old post off of my blog.
Here is a little before and after collage to show you what I am talking about!
Do you think I have made a little progress with my photography? Just a bit, LOL! It is nice to realize that my efforts to improve my pictures have made a difference, even if my efforts to improve my younger son’s food repetoire have not quite made as much progress. Oh well, I won’t give up. Just keep swimming, swimming, swimming (like Dory in Finding Nemo)! If I keep trying, maybe someday he will even like Brussels sprouts!
Anyway, this Turkey Rotini Bake tastes as good as the (new) picture looks, so I definitely recommend it for a great weeknight meal for your family! Visit my contributor post on The Best Blog Recipes today for the full post!

This looks delicious! Although I’d skip the mushrooms in mine.

Well, you’ve certainly come a long way with your photography! I can’t think of any aspect of the two pictures that isn’t improved!

Thanks, Edward! I have worked really hard to learn how to take better pictures! I still have lots to learn but it is so much fun to see the progress!

That looks really good. I love that it has turkey in it.
