Super simple sassy Spanish sauté! (don’t punch) I’m not kidding when I say this one is seeeemple. The legwork (if you can even call it that) is all in the prep. After that, it’s smooth Spanish sailing, Sally! (seriously, you’re not allowed to punch) The idea behind this recipe springs from my all-time favorite soup […]

One must not overlook […]

With the spring temperatures taking a mini-vacation and steady rain showers passing through the metro, (that’s what they call it on the local news) I found myself digging out my warmest yoga pants, my newest novel and a cozy spot on the couch with my sweet pup.
