This is our new absolutely favorite baked ziti! It is inspired by What Sweet Eats, and she had me so intrigued with using Burrata cheese. This is going to be making a monthly appearance at our house- it is that good! Let me know how you like our version of this amazing Ziti- it is great for a large crowd or for having leftovers. We had this for two dinners this week.

LITTLE HOUSE ON THE PRAIRIE PARTY
What began as a simple gesture to introduce my daughter to a wonderful book series has become a special evening ritual for us- reading Laura Ingalls Wilder’s Little House books! I must admit, I didn’t realize quite how interesting these books would be to her, but she cannot wait to read all nine in the series. It was only fitting that her birthday party focus around Little House on the Prairie! Together, we had a ball planning all of the details of her party that related to the books in some way. At Camille’s request, we focused on some of her favorite parts of the stories… prairie flowers, covered wagons, tee pees, the colors in the drawings of the books, and “pretty”…because “Ma” liked things to be pretty!
