Chilly Weather Chicken Chili
If you live in the Midwest, there is one thing you are talking about right now…the weather. I don’t know why it surprises us every year because the same thing happens EVERY year. Winter comes. We all say to each other what a mild winter it has been so far. We talk of how it …
Im”pasta”er Pesto
I decided today that there would be no conditions to this blogpost. I’m going to make it an open field and just let the truth come out. (I learned on television this week that you can really start a buzz about something if you say those sentences first.) My original intent today was to get …
