Ham & Salami Stromboli
Sometimes what was originally intended for dinner falls to the wayside when unexpected life events throw a wrench into your plans and you have to come up quick with Plan B. Thankfully, I had all the ingredients on hand last … Continue reading

Tortellini Pasta Salad
Fall is in the air, the days are shorter and cooler, the summer heat is behind us and I still have tomatoes growing in the garden. This year was my first year to do a trial run of a garden … Continue reading

Angel Hair Pasta with Grilled Chicken, Tomatoes, Garlic, & Basil (Chicken Spaghetti)
This meal is a family favorite and one of Chris’s top favorite meals. It’s full of tomatoes, garlic, seasoning and flavor. I have to admit, I no longer follow the recipe and even when I did, I did so loosely. Most of the time, I’m … Continue reading
