Although in a recent post I complained about how quickly the summer was passing by, even I cannot deny that soup season is right around the corner. One of my favorite soups lately has been this Italian Wedding Soup that…
Appreciating a Great Meal
As I alluded to in my last post, due to some personal (good, but personal) stuff I’ve not been posting as much. However, despite the whirlwind of the last few weeks, nothing reminds me to slow down more than appreciating…
Shrimp Fra Diavolo Recipe
One of my favorite meals to order out at an Italian restaurant is a seafood fra diavolo. I love spicy food and this is not a meal I ever make. …until recently! In our garden this year, we decided to…
