As I got ready to write this review of Prime Grill, I discovered that I had started one after Passover last year. I’m going to leave that review in place and add to it. The following is the first part: As many of you know, we demolished our 29 year […]
Pasta Bolognese is the Italian word for past with meat sauce. It sounds so much more inviting than: Pasta with Meat Sauce. Pasta Bolognese is easy to make and beloved by adults and kids alike. I like to spoon it over pasta with ridges because the ridges hold on to […]
I created this Smashed Potato and Root Vegetables recipe because my Mother insisted she was allergic to all vegetables except for red and white ones. I took it as a personal challenge to create recipes that she could eat. This one is all white. It passed muster. Smashed means mashed […]
