I love pasta salad! It’s such a light, summery side dish and it goes perfectly with a good burger or some bbq! There are so many different ways to make it, but my favorite is the classic way with some fresh veggies thrown in tossed in Italian Dressing.  I just made this with what I [...]

Revolutionary Mac & Cheese

September 1, 2011

I found this recipe long ago and can’t believe I’m just now making it.  The neat thing about this recipe, is you simmer the noodles in the milk instead of using water then adding it at the end. It’s cheesy and the mustard gives it a nice depth of flavor. It still doesn’t top the [...]
