I mentioned yesterday that I’d be making this new-to-me recipe and I’m happy to report back that we enjoyed it quite a bit! This recipe makes A LOT of soup so we will be having it for dinner again as planned…and I will probably also eat it for lunch. Normally that would seem like overkill, but it’s… Continue reading Creamy Crock-Pot Tortellini Soup

Dinner plan for the week

Alas I will have to go at lunch when it is already busy and terrible. Oh well. I’ll do better next week? This… Continue reading Dinner plan for the week

Mom’s Birthday Menu
This weekend my husband and I hosted a family gathering in honor of my mother’s 75th birthday. 75! It’s strange that 75 almost barely qualifies as “old” anymore with people living longer and longer. I’m glad both of my parents are feeling well and enjoying themselves after three quarters of a century. I was feeling… Continue reading Mom’s Birthday Menu
