Something special from Mandy's kitchen...
Last summer we grew carrots for the first time, and as first time “real” gardeners, we actually reaped a pretty decent harvest! We grew an excellent crop of carrots with huge, bushy green tops! What a magnificent joy it was to see these wispy carrot …
My husband loves chicken Parmesan. One valentines day while we were dating, I made him chicken Parmesan. I bought sheets of large green square lasagna noodles and hand-cut tiny little heart shapes out of them for the pasta to go with our chicken Parm. Yes, …
