Summer’s Best – Zucchini!
As you may know if you have read some of my blog, I have a vegetable garden. All the planting has been done for a few weeks now. We have been watering (and weeding) faithfully. Seeds have sprouted and with Spring well under way, I am now impatiently looking forward to [...]
Dinner tonight is going to be simple and delicious! It is also going to be a quick fix dinner. We are having cheese ravioli with vegetarian marinara sauce and a nice big salad. On Friday I made eggplant parmesana, chicken parmesana, and fettuccini topped with vegetable marinara sauce. It was scrumptious and I made a [...]

I got a lot [...]
