Sauteed Spinach

January 24, 2013

Did you ring in the New Year with greens? I did although it wasn’t the typical turnip or collard greens. My husband does not care for either one of those. Instead I made sauteed spinach to go with a pork roast and black-eyed peas. It was funny when I was cooking it because my husband [...]

Shrimp Fra Diavolo for #WeekdaySupper

How often do you cook dinner during the week? These days it averages about four times a week for me. My goal is to cook all five days, Monday through Friday.
