But that’s cool for Texas in Mid-June. Needless to say the rain left me craving a warm comforting bowl of soup, and I had one bowl soup on […]
Read MoreI guess you could say this dish is my take on a Southern-Italian fusion. This is a quick pasta dish I whipped up for my sister last night for a light summer time meal. This pasta is also a great new way to use up all of that extra squash and zucchini you have. I’m […]
