*A little history of this family recipe…My mom’s brother, my uncle, went to a little Italian restaurant many years ago. He enjoyed this dish with his wife so much that he asked the chef for the recipe. He then cooked it for me and my then boyfriend (now hubby) and passed it along to me. [...]

Better late than never, but I’ve got to order some Christmas cards. Typically, I’d already done so but with GiGi’s first birthday party planning I’ve fallen a bit behind. I always mail my holiday cards out the day after Thanksgiving so maybe there is still hope! I most recently ordered invitations and matching thank you [...]
Saturday’s Top 5 Laughs!
November 12, 2011 By 3 Comments
I’m linking up with The Mommyhood Chronicles for Saturday’s top five laughs. Took GiGi for our weekly grocery shopping trip at Whole Foods Market.
