My daughter is a spunky redhead. She is sweet, kind, smart, ornery (some of the time), helpful (most of the time) and hilarious (all of the time)…..and I don’t even think she knows it yet. I have compiled a list of her sayings that I can’t help but look back on, smiling and laughing. I…

Pesto Pasta Salad Recipe and Barilla Collezione Casarecce Pasta Review
Casarecce is the traditional pasta used in Sicilian pesto recipes. It is a short, wide strip of pasta loosely rolled like a scroll. For never having tried casarecce pasta before, I was pleasantly surprised. I appreciated the sturdy texture of the noodle, it held sauce well and the noodle was still soft and pleasant. I looked at…

With that being said, I usually have a freezer full of overripe bananas. I have a delicious Banana Crumb Muffin recipe that is my go to, but sometimes…

A Look Back at 2014
I love going to my parents house and flipping through the millions of albums of photographs from my childhood. They are memories preserved in a way that my mind can’t.
