Meatball Soup

The time has come. Time for my first cooking video! I’ve been into making staff spotlight videos for work lately and I thought I’d go ahead and try a cooking video with the kids. All in all, it was fun and I think it turned out great! It’s not taken from the point of view […]

Tortellini is one of those foods that I have a hard time stopping eating once I start.  There’s something about the little cheese filled pasta that I just love so much.  I don’t normally talk brands on here, but there’s this one particular type of tortellini that I find especially intoxicating – Cheese & Spinach […]

A Meal Fit For a Birthday

I mentioned in a previous post (about a certain delicious oatmeal cake) that my mom recently had a birthday.  We all went down to my parents’ house and spent the weekend there to celebrate.  Tim, my sister-in-law, Jill, and I cooked my mom a super special birthday lunch.  Since I was deemed the project manager, […]
