Stromboli!

04.12.2012

At least one night a week we make sure to have a quick and easy meal planned; most often this takes the form of whole wheat pasta with jarred pasta sauce.  When it’s just the two of us eating, we usually heat about half the jar of sauce.  I usually try to find some creative [...]

Easter Traditions: Asparagus, Mushroom and Swiss Crepes

For me it’s hard-boiled eggs.  And not just for decorating but for using those beautifully decorated eggs to play Egg Tapping.  If you’re not familiar with this game, basically you and your [...]
