Are you as nerdy as me? I find myself regularly imagining that I’m stuck on a deserted island…what food would I want, what books would I read over and over again, what would I wear (just teasin’), what music would I want to listen to…just ask, and I ALREADY KNOW my answers! I’ve thought it…
I must be on a tortellini kick lately, since my last recipe used it also. Hey it was in the freezer! Anywho, I LOVE making soups and now that it’s fall you will be seeing quite a few from me. I like making this one because it’s tasty and you dump and cook. Easy peasy….
Caden’s First Day of 2nd Grade Isn’t it funny how nicknames come about? We named our first, Caden…with the expectation of calling him “Cade”. Guess what we call him?? “Tato“. I know, right? That doesn’t even resemble the name Caden! Here’s the breakdown: Caden turned to Cado (through no choice of my own), which turned…
