Hi, I’m Brooke! You have probably seen me on Social Media as Meals and Munchies. I’m a busy stay at home mom who loves sharing easy, family-friendly meals that come together fast—because let’s be honest, we don’t always have time for complicated. Whether you’re chasing toddlers, working from home, or just trying to get dinner on the table after work without a fuss, you’re in the right place. Meals and Munchies is where I share real-life recipes that are quick, comforting, and made with ingredients you probably already have in your kitchen. Easy recipes for every day life- let’s get cooking!These dump-and-bake recipes take 5 minutes to throw together, have minimal prep, and are my go-to when I want something quick. Simply toss the dish with ingredients in the oven, and forget about it until the timer dings. No stovetop, no stress—just simple, cozy meals that practically cook themselves while you chase your toddler or sneak in a moment of peace.This no-boil baked ziti is an easy, family-friendly pasta dinner with just 5 minutes of prep and no need to cook the pasta ahead of time. Dry ziti bakes directly in marinara sauce and diced tomatoes, absorbing flavor as it cooks, then gets mixed with ricotta cheese, Italian sausage, and plenty of melty mozzarella. Finished with a cheesy top and rested before serving, this oven-baked ziti recipe is hearty, comforting, and perfect for busy weeknights, meal prep, or feeding a crowd.
