How many photos am I going to have to shoot to prove that you must try this? I am such a convert to homemade pasta. Ever since trying it for the first time a month ago – I can’t go back! I have turned into such a pasta snob – I won’t eat out at […]

One of my New Year’s resolutions this year was to eat less red meat – and well actually, meat in general. Don’t get me wrong – I love me a good steak or burger and won’t give that up all together. I’m just a little more strategic about when I eat my red meat and […]

Somebody save me! HE has a COLD! Men having colds is one of the mysteries of life. Why is it that men completely fall apart over a little cold? He coughs until the rafters shake and blows his nose to the point where the dogs are howling. Why-oh-why is it like this? We are in […]
