Yay! It’s almost Friday! I actually really have enjoyed putting together these weekly roundups for a couple of reasons. First of all, I know that when I finish up the post then the week is almost over! Second of all, it gives me a chance to go back a couple of years and reminisce. I post so many recipes that sometimes I forget what I posted 3 years ago! It’s a lot of fun to see how food trends change! I hope you guys enjoy this week’s collection! Pasta is the ultimate comfort food in my book!

Note: If you are looking for beer pairings from Cooking and Beer, just click on each individual recipe. Enjoy!

 

If you would like to pin the collection, please do! Just make sure to please pin the collage at the bottom of this post rather than the smaller individual images. If you would like to pin just one of the recipes, please click through and pin the recipe from the original link.
