Chicken Spaghetti with Black Olives
Are you like me? Could you eat pasta dishes everyday, if your waistline would allow? I always tell my husband that whenever we do get around to visiting Italy, I’m losing my passport after we get there. I’ve dreamed of eating in Italy ever since high school. All I want to do is eat when [...]

Saturday Night Lasagna & Sunday’s Lunch
Again, I’m sorry there’s not a photo of this DELICIOUS recipe. Good food and hungry families don’t wait for photo shoots.
