Mornings aren’t my best time of day. I know some of you rise at the crack of dawn, work out, read a bit of the paper, do a load of laundry, and then whip up a healthy breakfast. Not so over here. I’m RUNNING out the door with my arms and head full…every day. Even […]

Years ago my “blog sister” asked if I had a quick and easy recipe for a treat she could take to a pot- luck type work party. I told her about a yummy fruit dip that was super easy and sooo good. I called her later and asked her if people liked the dip. She was still at the party […]
Tortellini Soup
Eighteen minutes. I timed it. This “to die for” tortellini soup takes eighteen minutes from pot to mouth. Next time you go to the store, buy some frozen tortellini.
