Short and sweet, I’ve discovered a bullet proof recipe for pasta sauce. And by bullet proof I mean no matter what I do, the crowd goes wild, everyone cheers and the plates are as close to being licked clean as you can get. It’s bananas. It’s also a little annoying because other times I put
The next step of our trip was Naples, a town we don’t know a whole lot about except that it’s close to Pompeii and Vesuvius and has a reputation that there is lots of crime. That being said, it hasn’t felt any less safe than any other city I’ve travelled to so maybe what was
In the interest of being transparent and real, brace yourselves: most of the time I’m making this up as I go along. For example, tonight we are having a potluck dinner themed “food from a book or movie”. I picked spaghetti and meatballs from Lady and The Tramp thinking that would be a super easy
Yesterday was a long busy day. I hit an all time high on my Fitbit and still managed to saturate my brain with what I learned from the sessions. The hands down funniest part of the day was when the scientific director from one company caught us taking photos of ourselves with the posters

September is almost over, how did that happen? I’m am trying so very hard to keep the pace of life chill this fall. There has been a sermon series running all month which reminded me of things I already knew but called me out on complacency. Slow down, be present where you are, and rest.
When my kids were little, little enough to have been impressed by food that looked somethings else, I was just plain too tired to be creative. Isn’t that always the way? Kind of like when you come up with the perfect response to someone an hour after you needed it? I have loved being a
This recipe is as sacred as they come. I’ve been keeping it tucked away in a box on a top cupboard shelf for safe keeping, bringing out only for special occasions for these past 18 or so years. To disrespect or disregard the wonderfulness of this recipe, is, simply put, a crime. As the title
My husband managed to pull one over on me this Christmas. I am exceedingly hard to surprise, but he did it! I asked for a Fitbit for Christmas, but instead he got me a pasta maker. Really that’s the anti-Fitbit isn’t it? Now, full disclosure before I go any further, in our home it is
