What can I say about butternut squash? It’s delicious, good for you, inexpensive, and incredibly difficult to cut. I did not discover how much I liked butternut squash until about 4 or 5 years ago. I had no idea what I was missing! Now, every fall I look forward to loading up on them at […]

Everything’s Better with Bacon, Tortellini, and Spinach
I love tortellini, so I am always looking for new ways to cook it. Specifically, there’s a type of cheese and spinach tortellini (by Barilla) that I think is exceptionally delicious.
