Easy Baked Ziti for #SundaySupper
This Sunday you will find great starters and snacks for your upcoming Spring gathering. Soups, salads and Sandwiches for the perfect setting. Main dishes, drinks and sweet endings for your perfect party right here at this fabulous themed #SundaySupper!
I’ve been given a few “Showers” in my time and I’ve thrown a few “Showers” in my time. I’d like to offer some tips and idea’s only because I love love love throwing a party, I love entertaining and I LOVE LOVE LOVE making a very a special occasion as special as I can for someone I love. Between lots of weddings and babies over the years I’ve learnt a lot and still enjoy every second of them! My newest one will be next year since my best friend just got engaged and I get to be the Maid of Honor for the very first time! Yay! So stay tuned for some tips and pictures tomorrow I’ll do a special post to offer more ideas for any and all parties!! A special thanks to today’s Hostess, Brandie from Home Cooking Memories! Thanks for hostessing such a great event Brandie! Now onto these yummy recipes!
I chose a recipe that I’ve come to enjoy making over the years. I make it for any of my girlfriends or neighbors that have just had a baby. When I had my daughter in 2010 one oft my friends brought over a casserole that consisted of enough dinner for 3 nights for my husband and I! She even brought bread and dessert to go with it. I remember thinking she was my savior that weekend because I had no idea that when you have a baby the last thing you want to do is take care of yourself! Since that gentle mark of kindness meant so much to me I’ve been doing the same thing for my friends since then. I just made one last week for a very good friend of mine who gave birth to her first baby!! While making it I thought, what a great dish to share with all of you for this event!

This sounds like a great dish that everyone enjoys!
Great idea and it looks fabulous too!
I love this type of recipes, and wouldn´t mind you sending some over, even though there´s definitely no baby…! Great ziti Tammi!
I loved baked ziti and will welcome it at any celebration of mine!!
Looks like a crowd-pleaser, and the perfect dish to freeze for later!
Baked pasta is always great to take to new moms. So delicious and perfect to feed a crowd.
I heart baked ziti and I do not make it often enough!
I think the sweetest thing someone could do for new parents is bring food for them. Being able to focus on the baby and not worry about cooking is just what a new mom needs.
Looks delicious and great for a family. My kids would love this!
This is the perfect party food – a big dish of deliciousness that can be scooped onto plates to round out the dainty finger foods. I always appreciate a hearty dish at parties. And what a wonderful thing for your friend to do after you had your baby. At one of my old jobs, one of the girls was pregnant and she was told she had gestational diabetes and needed to rest. All of us chipped in by taking turns making her and her husband big meals so that she wouldn’t need to. I love hearing stories of people coming together to help out – nothing is more comforting and loving than food.
That is so sweet that you all did that Nancy. I totally agree, it’s the little things that truly count at times like that and food is a little gesture but a big deal! 🙂
