Yesterday I headed to the Home Depot for a new hose nozzle. That’s it. All I needed was one thing. But do you think I left with one thing? No, of course not. While I was there, I made a big mistake and veered over to the plant section. I’ll just take a look, I told Read More >>

Now matter what time of year it is, pasta is on the menu at least once a week in our house. During the summer months I take away the traditional marinara sauce and meatballs, and replace them with pesto and grilled vegetables.
