Actually, the title should have read: Tomato & Mascarpone Pasta with Garlic Bread. It’s a combination of flavors that’s highly addictive, and I’m so not exaggerating. You should see what happens when I hand a plate full of this to my kid! He opens that tiny mouth and just shoves two servings right in there. When it’s summer I crave simple, pure, and easy-to-prepare foods. Nothing too complicated, just laid-back…
Like so many of our dinners, this one too started with leftovers. What can I say? I just like to build new dinners around leftovers. Could be anything from meat or poultry that I’ll turn into a pot pie to a few cups of mashed potatoes that end up being the base of a hearty soup.

I whipped up some marinara sauce for a dinner with friends we had last weekend. It was then that I noticed my marinara sauce was missing from my blog! Well, missing… I simply never posted it.

I know, I have no shame. But here’s the deal; I slapped it on the BGE today and hallelujah, I heard angels sing and a shaft of light fell down. Well, I didn’t…
Someone asked for a chicken marsala recipe in the ‘your requests” section of my site. Somehow I never got around to shooting my version. My bad. Mea Maxima Culpa. I finally managed to plan dinner in a way that my kiddo would be eating something else—17% alcohol and my kid really doesn’t mix—and we’d be having the chicken marsala with rice and veggies and we’d all live happily ever after in…
