While Brian and I have never been football kinda people, we enjoy the Superbowl. I like it for the commercials, I admit it. (I think Brian secretly likes the commercials best too, but he’d never admit it 🙂 ) This was the very first year since we’ve been married that...
When I was planning out the menu last weekend for when our friends came for dinner I knew I wanted to make a bread to go with the pasta. I debated between a focaccia and ciabatta bread. After looking through numerous recipes I decided on this one because it was...

I’ve had the biggest craving for Alfredo lately and I finally made it. I’ve only made Alfredo once or twice before and it never turned out as well as this time did. I was fantastic! I used the recipe found at Amber’s Delectable Delights but I wasn’t very strict on...
