When I get out this recipe binder, I am in the mood for a tried and true recipe. I purchased this binder in about 1991 and would copy my “keeper recipes” into it. Obviously, before searching recipes on the internet or saving on Pinterest. What was I looking for?
Meatball soup on this cool, rainy day. I tried searching using the title and source I have written in the notebook, but it did not show up, so I cannot link it. Sorry.
I love summer, but I also love fall cooking! It’s time for warming spices, slow cooking, and long dinners. What recipes do you need to add to your meal rotation?
What classes are coming in September and October? Wait no more!
