Quarantine Menu May 17-23: Week 10 It's been over two months. Different parts of different states are beginning to open up. I think I'll extend this through May 31 and then return to posting meals as I make them. I hope over the last few weeks I've been able to provide…
Tri Color Rotini Pasta Salad - A must for every party. Hands down before any picnic or party we host or attend, this Tri Color Rotini Pasta Salad is my favorite thing to make. In fact, Matt just requests it randomly for the two of us to enjoy for a couple…
Chicken Carbonara with Spaghetti Some people are anti pre-made meals. If you're able to or interested in standing over the stove for hours every day, then go for it. However, not all are able to or are interested. I do love the process of cooking, and the feeling of accomplishment, but…
