Spaghetti Squash Pizza

Spaghetti Squash Pizza
I saw this spaghetti squash pizza idea and decided to give it a try for myself. I had to tweak the recipe a little for it to work for me, but I wanted to share it because it’s truly delicious!

Asparagus And Potato Strata

A strata is a great dish to serve when you are having a brunch and need an easy make-ahead meal for a group.  I made this strata for a group of friends to close out the summer.

It turned out to be a slightly overcast day, but we had a lot of fun anyway.  Continue reading

Sliders Two Ways: Cheese Steak & Cuban

Now that we’re all back in the swing of school and busy schedules eating breakfast sometimes takes a backseat to getting out of the house!
