Yesterday I promised you a savory recipe using pie dough, so here it is! We grew quite a few butternut squash in our garden this year, so I’ve been dillegently working to make puree and stock my freezer (you can puree butternut squash the same way you would puree pumpkin). The last time I made…
While walking through Pike Place Market in Seattle with Mardi and Kelly, we stumbled on an Italian market with a lovely selection of artisan pastas imported from Italy (along with a beautiful assortment of olive oils, Balsamic vinegars, and other things that I knew would weigh down my suitcase too much). I knew I would…
Today I am thrilled to welcome another blogger as a part of my summer mini-series! Today we are taking a trip to visit Flavia from Flavia’s Flavors. I was especially excited to see what Flavia would come up with for a guest posts because she makes some incredible Italian dishes. As you know, I love all…
I almost called this recipe “Presto Pesto Pasta Primavera,” but I thought that might be a bit much. The thing is, it’s really quick and easy… Especially if you already have some homemade garlic scape pesto on hand! Even if you don’t have the pesto, that can be whipped up in a matter of minutes…

A few weeks ago I heard someone mention putting pasta in a frittata (I think I was watching a cooking show on TV, but I can’t remember)… I was skeptical. I am one of those people who is picky about the textures of my food… So, I wasn’t sure about pasta with cooked eggs. However,…
This dish started out with a coupon for a bag of “Chopped Rappi.” I like clipping coupons… It’s a great way to save money on groceries, helping to keep our grocery bill down. I get ideas from coupons once in a while, too. Coupons often remind me of products I haven’t used in a while, and…
I’m always anxious to get back in my kitchen after traveling. I enjoy being in new places and trying new food, but after a while, I get sick of eating out and just want to make something for myself. That’s how I started to feel this weekend. Not only did I have the urge to…
