Tyler made this recipe last Saturday as a bit of a Valentine’s surprise. I had to work that day and informed him that I did not want to have to do dishes at the end of the day, so while a nice elaborate romantic dinner would be great, I’d rather we just get pizza! Instead [...]

I’m really pushing myself to try new recipes. Not necessarily “out there” recipes of things I never thought I’d try, but some new stuff. Tonight I made orzo for the first time and I broiled something for the first time. Also made my own dressing for the first time…I think. I [...]
