Does your family prefer spaghetti noodles over all other kinds? I mean, there are so many cute and functional pasta shapes out there, but I find myself serving the same, plain and classic noodles the most. My family doesn’t care about how well some noodles hold the sauce better or have a slipperier mouthfeel required for some sauces. And god…

Italian Sausage Chili
Italian sausage chili that’s thick, spicy, and seriously satisfying. A bold, flavorful take on a classic. Italian Sausage Chili Is Flavor-Packed When I first started making this Italian sausage chili, I thought I’d take it in a different direction.

Buttermilk Lemon-Scented Cake Loaves
This crazy weather is making me bake. First it was the snow and now it’s the rain. Sheesh, like serious flooding rain, for days now. The meadow I normally look out upon is now a lake with a swift moving current. Kind of crazy. Is it just me or are we seeing more “weather” all over the United States this…
