We're closing in on the end of 🌽Corn on the Cob🌽 season -- at least in Mid-Missouri. Have you tried our grilling method yet?

You can also prep the corn ahead before your Labor Day cookout. AND you can do as many as fits on the grill so it's great for a large group.

Try it -- you won't regret it!

Wondering how to measure out flour the accurate (but easy!) way for our baking recipes? This is how I do it—whisk the flour in the bag, lightly scoop using your dry measuring cup until overflowing, and level it off with the flat (not sharp, like I said 🤪) edge of a butter knife.

Freezer Meal Tip!

When prepping a pasta dish for the freezer, you’ll want to undercook the pasta just a little bit. By doing this, you prevent it from becoming mushy after freezing, thawing, and cooking.

Follow along for more freezer meal tips, and recipes that save you time in the kitchen!

“I made this for a group of 10 and they ate every bite! It was delicious. Great recipe!” - Jessica

Baked Penne Pasta is a delicious and hearty pasta dish that features penne pasta mixed with a rich and savory tomato-based sauce, layered with a cheese mixture, and then baked until it’s hot and bubbly.

❄️Freeze For Later: Follow the recipe right up until baking it. Cover tightly with plastic wrap, foil or a lid. Freeze.

Prepare From Frozen: When ready to cook, you have two options:

1. Thawed: Thaw in the fridge (may take up to 48 hours) or thaw in the microwave on defrost setting. Bake at 375 degrees F according to Step 11 in the recipe.

2. Frozen: If cooking directly from frozen state, cover with foil. Place the frozen casserole in the oven. Preheat the oven to 375°F. Once it comes to temperature, bake for about 1 hour and 20-40 minutes, until heated through and bubbly. Remove the foil the last 20 minutes.

🤩 Comment Recipe and I’ll DM it over.
