I may have mentioned this before, but I’m a sucker for pasta…or just Italian food in general. Well, I’m also a fan of shrimp. And wine. Okay fine, so I pretty much love everything that’s involved with this recipe, which would explain why I enjoyed this altogether. I’ve started cooking with wine here over theRead More
In the evening when my husband and I are relaxing after our little pumpkin goes to bed, we usually unwind by sitting on the couch and watching a little bit of TV. Whether it’s a movie, one of our favorite shows (that we pre-record to fast forward through the commercials), or something on one ofRead More
When it comes to meatloaf, I’ve heard several reactions…mostly the famous, “Ewwww, meatloaf!!” And really what makes me quote is little Randy not wanting to eat his meatloaf and mashed potatoes in the movie “A Christmas Story.” Well, not in our house growing up. In fact, it’s quite the opposite. When our family gets together,Read More
When it comes to sauces, I’m a bit of an alfredo sauce junkie. Maybe it’s the garlic. Or the parmesan. Or the fact that it’s a cream sauce. Quite possibly though, it’s all of the above…and that’s just fine with me. I’ve been searching for a really good homemade sauce that I can make inRead More
Over the weekend, my daughter and I took a trip to visit my parents. My cousins were also visiting with their kids…so we had a total of 6 children between the ages of 1-8 all weekend. It was…eventful, to say the least. My favorite part of the weekend was just watching all of the kidsRead More
Last night in our house, we had a Hawaiian themed dinner. The only thing that was missing was everyone getting lei’d walking in the door… No comment. My husband and I went to Hawaii on our honeymoon, and we both loved it. The beautiful scenery, perfect weather, laid back atmosphere…and amazing food. Just from researchingRead More
The first time I was in a restaurant and saw a “White Pizza” on the menu, it made me look twice. What in the world is a white pizza? I asked myself. Well, that question was answered quickly when I read the ingredients…no red sauce. Yep, that’s right, no red sauce. In place of theRead More
Chicken marsala is a popular Italian dish, and it’s actually a LOT easier to make than you would think. My sister-in-law serves her marsala with rotini pasta and mixes the sauce and noodles together in a bowl before serving, and personally I like it that way. The sauce is evenly distributed with the noodles, chicken andRead More
I’ll have to be honest here…I’ve been sampling rice krispie treats my entire life, and none of them have held a candle to my mom’s recipe. She claims that she followed the recipe on the box, but I found out that’s not true. She improvises on things that she decreases or adds. Ah ha! That’sRead More
