Featuring simple and classic ingredients that are stuffed in cheesy jumbo shells making these a delicious easy vegetarian dinner!

We eat every meal we possibly can during the warms months out on our deck! We didn’t take which side of the house had shade in the evening into consideration when we bought our house. Not until after we were moved in and chillin’ on the deck did we realize how lucky we are to have shade in the back of our house in the evening! Eating on the deck for our meals is absolutely one of my very favorite things to do as a family.

There is something so calm and peaceful about eating outside. I don’t feel rushed. I often sit down and just take it all in before actually eating. Unless it’s raining, you can count on us eating and being outside!
